25th – 26th Oct | Malin, Co.Donegal

The first weekend of the Guth Gafa Film Week will take place in Malin, Co. Donegal, the location of the 2013 festival. It could hardly be a more spectacular place. Overlooked by the ancient hill fort of Grianan of Aileach, the Inishowen peninsula is steeped in mythology and history. A maze of roads weaves through scenic mountain ranges and past a string of deserted beaches that dot the rugged coastline. Near Ireland’s most northerly tip is the award-winning village of Malin, home to Ireland’s second largest stone bridge. From the village green, head out the Lagg road and the sand dunes at Five Fingers Strand that loom pyramid like before your eyes, are among the highest in Europe. A few kilometres further northwards and you reach Banba’s Crown where on a clear day you can see Scotland.
