Since 1956, the Cork Film Festival has attempted to "bring to Irish audiences the best in world cinema in all its variety; championing the art of the short film through its competitive section and providing a forum for experimental film." As a result, the Festival has grown very considerably in reputation over the years. Each year there's a "shorts" competition prize, usually one of the largest in Europe. Screenings take place at Cork Opera House, Kino Cinema, Gate Cinema and Triskel Arts Centre.

'Inside I'm Dancing' the award-winning film from Irish director Damien O'Donnell, is to be the opening night gala film at this year's Festival. The film recently won the prestigious Audience Award at the Edinburgh Film Festival. The Cork screening, on Sunday 10 October at the Cork Opera House, will be the Irish premiere.
