Industry events wer also well-attended, leading to a weekend of stimulating discussion and debate.

Sold-out screenings included the 2 Irish films, His and Hers, by Ken Wardrop, and Gilbert O'Sullivan - out on his own, by Adrian McCarthy.  Other sold-out screenings included Divorce Iranian Style by Kim Longinotto, who was attending as a special guest of the Festival, and The Horse Boy by Michel Orion Scott.

The Festival team would like to thank all our guests and visitors, our sponsors and funders, our volunteers, and all the people of Gortahork.  Without all of your support, the 5th Guth Gafa International Documentary Film Festival wold not have been possible.  Thank you all so much.
