The Dublin International Screenwriting Festival is Ireland's first festival dedicated to the craft of screenwriting. Workshops, panel sessions, keynote interviews & networking events to foster the culture of screenwriting in Ireland, Sept 5-11 2022

We’ve been working hard to bring you a programme that will inspire, inform and entertain. I think you’ll agree that there’s something in the week for everyone whether you’re a seasoned veteran or an aspiring writer who reckons they’ve got a screenplay buried inside themselves somewhere.

Highlights this year so far include a masterclass from the writer of Die Hard, The Fugitive and The Netflix/MGM hit series, Vikings – Valhalla – Jeb Stuart. We also have the creator of 2021 hit series Kin and Hidden Assets, Peter McKenna in conversation. We’ve got the commissioners and funders from RTE, Virgin & Screen Ireland and we have screenwriting agents telling you how to get represented. We’ve also got a Saturday social so we can meet up and have the craic.
