We are making a change for 2014

vteditor — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 20:44:18 +0000

Hi all

Before we forget… we are going to be making some exciting changes for the 5th year of the festival.

Namely (pardon the pun) we are changing the name. From today we are working on the challenge of changing from the LIT Film Festival to the Limerick Film Festival.

This change is in line with our plans to promote Limerick during next year’s title of City of Culture 2014.

The festival will still be at the heart of LIT and the colleges calendar and with these changes to come the festival will grow and mature to attract more film makers, locally, nationally and internationally.

We hope you all support us during and after the changes are made and we will certainly keep you updated.

The new address for this website is www.limerickfilmfestival.net

Thanks for all the support so far and we look forward to working with you all in the future.

Simon.

Limerick Film Festival Director.
