Season Docs Ireland 2026

The first programme of films in the Docs Ireland: Short Irish Documentary Competition, consider place and community, how they intertwine and how they affect us.

From a cement factory in Slovenia to a military base ghost town in Germany, remembered and shared experiences illuminate histories and rituals that connect us all.

White Veil - dir. Žiga Ciber

The complicated history of Anhovo, Slovenia is laid bare through an oral history of the village contrasted against the ghostly images of its present.

Anatomy of an Irish Disco - dir. Lucille Carolan

Amongst the cattle and herds of a typical Irish farmyard, we witness the rites and rituals of that most sacred of processions - the Irish teen disco. 

That sanity be kept - dir. Michael Barwise

A night on the town in 1990s Derry descends into an abstract nightmare of drink, sweat and the inescapable feeling of being watched. 

I Didn't Want To Be Here - dir. Fionnuala McCormack

Through their shared experiences of trauma, addiction and the justice system, a women’s group meeting becomes a stage for reclamation and positive healing.

Tin City - dir. Feargal Ward

In the remote woods of north-west Germany lies Tin City, a proxy Irish town populated by Irish mannequins for British soldiers to train in.
