Imbolg: Women Who Terrify Film Festival
Taking place on 30th - 31st January at Griffith College Dublin, the Imbolg Women Who Terrify Film Festival will celebrate women who terrify, both on screen and behind the camera. As winter draws to a close, this coven of creatives and connoisseurs will gather to mark the Celtic festival of Imbolg.
This two-day film festival focuses the lens on the rage, resilience, and creative work of women storytellers. The Imbolg: Women Who Terrify Film Festival warmly welcomes the work and stories of trans women, gender-diverse, non-binary, and intersex creatives.
About Imbolg
The midpoint between the winter solstice and the spring equinox, Imbolg symbolises the return of life under the frost and the start of spring. Imbolg also marks the return of serpents from their winter dens, when Cailleach - the divine hag of Gaelic tradition - awoke to gather her firewood. This is marked by St Brigid, the goddess of fire, poetry, healing, fertility, and creativity.
Imbolg Women Who Terrify Film Festival peers beneath the surface to see what horrors have become re-animated after hibernation - in Ireland and in the world beyond.
