Dublin International Comedy Film Festival DICFF (5)

Inicio Festival: 27 noviembre 2024      Fin Festival: 30 noviembre 2024

DICFF is about celebrating comedy in film.
So often comedy is overlooked in favour of drama. Drama is in fact easier to write, direct and perform.
Comedy is much more difficult and you know if you've succeeded or failed by how many laughs you get!
So, DICFF is here to ensure comedy gets it's due. We want to support our comedic storytellers and celebrate your craft.
