​

We were truly overwhelmed by the number of exceptional films submitted to this year’s Roscommon International Film Festival. The sheer volume of outstanding entries made our selection process incredibly difficult. In fact, we received enough high-quality films to confidently fill a week-long festival. With only seven hours available, there were many remarkable films that we simply couldn’t fit into the programme, and it’s through no fault of their own that they weren’t included.

 

We would like to give these films an honourable mention, as their creativity and storytelling are worthy of recognition. We highly recommend keeping an eye out for these films as they continue to make waves on the festival circuit.
