“This festival is absolutely unique, and it was an honour to premier our feature film in such a beautiful location. The weekend was really empowering and beautifully curated, celebrating women filmmakers with diverse films, inspiring workshops, sea dips, and a warm communal atmosphere. An unforgettable experience. Definitely my favourite film festival I’ve attended!” Glenda Rome

“It’s not just the feminist focus, nor that it’s set on the beautiful island of Tiree that makes the festival so special. It’s the intimacy. Filmmakers, festival-goers, curators and islanders all share lifts between venues, eat jacket potatoes in the community centre An Talla, and swim together… The word I keep coming back to describe Sea Change is special. It’s rare that you get to spend time in a place that truly welcomes you, no matter your age, experience, gender etc.”
Lara Delmage, SNACK Magazine
“I’m so grateful that my work brings me to amazing places like Tiree and brings such beautiful people into my life! It was very special seeing ‘Cá a nDeachaigh Mé?’ screened alongside the work of so many incredible women…I’ll remember this weekend forever.” Étáin Sweeney, Audio Director and Co-creator of Cá a nDeachaigh Mé
