Location Galway

Galway is an excellent location for Film and TV. It is both urban and rural. It has the photogenic landscape of busy small streets, dark alleys, modern office buildings and dusty old pubs. Yet take a small drive and within minutes you arrive at John Ford´s Quiet Man landscapes of rugged Conamara hills and lakes.

What is a UNESCO City of Film?

On December 1st 2014, Galway was awarded the prestigious title of UNESCO City of Film and became one of only five cities in the world to achieve this much sought-after status. Galway joined Sydney (Australia) Sofia (Bulgaria) Busan (South Korea) and Galways twin city of Bradford (UK) as a designated City of Film. This is a permanent global designation and brings the highest internationally recognised standard of excellence in the creative industries to Galway.
