IBERSCREEN
IBERSCREEN brings together two international film festivals:
Ibero-American Film Festival Ireland (FICII) and Irish Film Festival Spain (IFFS).
We specialize in connecting filmmakers, directors, executive producers, distributors, and sales agents with co-production opportunities between Ireland and Spanish-speaking countries.
A Bridge for Co-Production
We aim to be the leading bridge connecting Ireland and the Spanish-speaking world through cinema.
Our mission is to champion projects that celebrate creativity, encourage international collaboration, and promote cultural exchange across borders.
Minority Languages
At IBERSCREEN, our focus is on minority languages celebrating the cultural depth they represent. We believe that language is not only a means of communication but also a vessel of identity, memory, and artistic expression. By showcasing films in minority languages, we aim to amplify underrepresented voices and preserve linguistic heritage as an essential part of the Ibero-American and Irish cultural landscape.

Co-Production
At FICII and IFFS, we believe great stories grow through collaboration. This year, we’re creating a space for production companies seeking co-production partners across Ireland, Spain, and Latin America to connect. Whether you’re looking for creative allies, funding opportunities, or regional expertise, IBERSCREEN provide the perfect space to spark new partnerships and bring projects to life.
Festival Funding
IBERSCREEN collaborates with official international festivals and industry partners to help filmmakers bring their visions to the world. Through these partnerships, we strengthen the creative ecosystem by helping festivals access funding opportunities and distribution companies, while offering independent filmmakers direct access to festivals and audiences across our regions fostering connection, growth, and shared success.
FICII
The Ibero-American Film Festival Ireland is a celebration of the cultural diversity and cinematic artistry of Spanish speaking countries, providing a unique platform for audiences in Ireland to experience films these regions.
Its very successful first edition took place in Dublin in April 2025. The festival is now relocated to Galway (UNESCO city of film).
The festival brings together filmmakers, audiences, and industry professionals to foster cultural exchange, inspire dialogue, and strengthen connections between Ireland and Ibero-America with an emphasis in Spain.
IFFS
The Irish Film Festival in Spain has its Bilbao, with its rich cultural heritage and reputation as a thriving hub of international arts, offers an ideal setting for this celebration.
The connections between Basque and Irish communities, rooted in shared values of resilience, linguistic pride, and a profound love for storytelling, make the city the perfect stage for this cultural exchange.
By bringing Irish cinema to Basque audiences the festival deepens cultural ties, fosters meaningful dialogue, and celebrates the shared artistry and heritage of both regions.
