IFTUK's St Patrick's Film Festival 2025

IFTUK’s St Patrick’s Film Festival kicks off this month. We will be exhibiting in Trafalgar Square on Sunday 16th March from our stand, where you are all welcome to come along and have your selfie taken with your favourite Irish celebrity! IFTUK’s selection of short films will be screened in the Irish Creative Collective Sessions Marquee hosted by the Irish Creative Collective. Programme of Films screening to follow.

Make sure you download the free IFTK App from the App Store, which will be packed with Irish films for you to screen for free! Full Programme of titles to follow.

The theme for this year St Patrick’s Festival and Parade is sustainability. We are delighted that Irish musician and filmmaker Nick Kelly, whose feature documentary The Song Cycle follows his journey from Dublin to the Glastonbury Festival by bicycle, will be travelling sustainably to Trafalgar Square this year. Nick will also be on his bicycle as part of the St Patrick’s Parade. His band Dogs will also be performing on the main stage in Trafalgar Square where clips of his film will be shown also.
