Kerry Film Festival Patron Scheme 2017

Last Thursday 20th April saw Kerry Film Festival's Patron's night at The Ashe Hotel, Tralee, which included a private screening of  Turner Prize winning Duncan Campbell's , The Welfare of Tomás Ó Hallissy, a short film which was filmed on location in Kerry.
I was invited along to attend what was a fantastic evening and one which was geared to show appreciation to the Patron's of Kerry Film Festival whilst simultaenously showcasing the type of marvellous works on show throughout the Festival.

A wine reception was followed by an address by Artistic Director Maeve McGrath to the patrons which highlighted the success of the Film Festival which is in it's 18th year and is also one of only two Irish film fesitvals in the top 100 best reviewed on FilmFreeway and Maeve alluded to the fact that all this would not be possible if not for the generous support of sponsors and patrons.

Cuts to artistic funding in recents years have made the patron scheme a necessity in providing funding for this non-profit organisation and this support has not gone unnoticed with all involved.  
Becoming a patron not only involves supporting a fantastic event but also comes with some great benefits. Listing on programming literature and on the Kerry Film Festival website, discounts and tickets for various events as well as tickets to the ever popular Patrons screening only event on the opening night of the festival are some of the perks associated with becoming a Patron.

Prices for Patrons vary and start at the very competitive price of just €50.

Full details of the different levels, cost and further details of the Patron Scheme for this years festival are available below:



If you would like to become a Patron for this years festival please contact Kerry Film Festival by email filmkerry@gmail.com   or by post at Kerry Film Festival Blennerville, Tralee, Co.Kerry.
