Mainstream cinema often portrays Traveller and Roma communities through narrow stereotypes of violence, criminality or mysticism while less widely seen cultural cinema has forged a small but significant tradition of more authentic and celebratory representations. This three day curated festival of critically acclaimed film highlights this tradition and brings members of the Traveller and Roma communities from inside and beyond the University together with the wider University community and general public in a discussion of how diverse ethnicities can be celebrated in and through media. Each film will be introduced by a member of the University Community whose current research or teaching resonates with its theme or the wider festival theme and be followed with an inclusive audience discussion.

This film festival is part of Nelson Mandela Anti-Racism Week at University of Galway. This week of events aims to empower our University community to act on Nelson Mandalas Anti-Racism vision and our values of respect, openness, excellence and sustainability through the advancement of race equality and anti-racism. We are grateful for the support of Club Scannán Sailearna who have brought the best of Irish language and World Cinema to audiences in the Conamara Gaeltacht since 2007.
