THE GORM GATHERING 2024

THE GORM GATHERING IS HERE! 🌟🎥

It’s time to change the narrative, for too long the stories of underrepresented communities in Ireland have been painted with a single stroke. We want to add colour to the picture and create a space where these stories are front and centre, where we can unify across our differences.

The GORM Gathering is an event that unites filmmakers, media professionals, creatives of colour, and industry leaders to celebrate and promote Narrative Change in the Irish media. This inaugural gathering is a day long event and promises to be a groundbreaking experience, offering a unique fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and engagement in order to promote Irish creative screen talent connecting with local and underserved audiences.
