Cork International Film Festival is honoured to have won a Business to Arts Award at this year’s prestigious ceremony.

The Judges Special Recognition Award recognises our meaningful collaboration with our valued partners Murphy’s, Tomar Trust, Future Planet, Irish Examiner & The Arc Cinema Cork. It also recognises our continued commitment to supporting the arts, engaging audiences, and showcasing exceptional filmmaking in Cork and beyond.

Winning this national award is a testament to the power of partnerships in driving cultural innovation and impact. A huge thank you to our supporters, sponsors, funders, and of course you, our loyal audiences who make everything we do possible.
Special thanks to our dedicated team and the Business to Arts community for recognising our work. We look forward to continuing to champion Irish and international film and growing our cultural impact year after year. Congratulations to all the winners and those shortlisted.
