This year’s Cannes Film Festival was not only a celebration of film but also a powerful reminder of the global momentum behind equity and innovation across the screen industries.
WFT Ireland was proud to host the WIFTI Irish Pavilion event at Cannes 2025, where we officially launched the upcoming WIFTI 2026 Summit.
Bringing together 57 WIFT chapters and affiliates from around the world, the Summit will take place in Ireland and will serve as an international celebration of cross-border collaboration, strategic career-building, and storytelling excellence.
Organised by WFT Ireland and WIFTI, the Summit will feature inspiring panels, networking sessions, interactive workshops, and cultural events showcasing Irish talent.
