The third Guth Gafa documentary film festival is taking place on 15-18 May 2008 in Gort an Choirce in West Donegal.

The third Guth Gafa international documentary film festival takes place on 15-18 May in Gort an Choirce in the Donegal Gaeltacht. This year’s special guest is newly appointed executive director of Amnesty Ireland, Colm O Gorman, and both Amnesty and the Radharc Trust will be associated with a series of human rights related films. Other highlights include the premiére of The Flesh and the Devil, Dara McCluskey’s biopic of Patrick McCabe; a Polish film strand; Irish and Irish language premiéres and various masterclasses and seminars with our international guests, including a seminar on 'film-making for social change', and an associated seminar on activist films that features material and activists from the Rossport and tara campaigns.

We have also added a child-care facility this year, a shuttle service between all festival locations, and a festival club in Ostán Loch Altan. Each screening will be followed by a Q&A session with the visiting director.
