The 33rd annual festival of media from the 'Celtic nations and regions' is to be held in Northern Ireland next year.

Derry-Londonderry is to host the Celtic Media Festival between April 18 and 20.

Say the organisers: “The festival is expected to attract some big name guests and prestigious industry speakers to the city. Hollywood star, Tilda Swinton, Creation Records founder, Alan McGee, and award-winning actor, writer and director, Peter Mullan, were among the contributors at the 32nd festival in Stornoway, Scotland last year.”

They continue: “The three-day celebration of digital media, broadcasting and film talent will be held in The Playhouse Theatre and will showcase some of the best work from Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, the Isle of Man and Brittany.”
