The British Film Festival in Dinard
The Dinard British and Irish Film Festival is one of the most prestigious film events in Brittany. Since 1989, the festival has highlighted the richness and diversity of British and Irish cinema in the exceptional setting of Dinard, a seaside resort on the Emerald Coast.
A quality program
Each edition offers a selection of films in competition divided into five main themes, exploring personal stories, societal issues, and varied artistic visions. Screenings are accompanied by meetings with directors and actors, offering the public privileged access to the creators.
An evolving festival
Since 2024, the festival has expanded its program to include Irish cinema, becoming the Dinard British and Irish Film Festival. This expansion further enriches the cinematic offering and reflects the cultural ties between the British Isles.
