FIND OUR MINIATURE GG MEN & WIN TICKETS TO THE GUTH GAFA FESTIVAL!!
WHERE: KELLS, CO. MEATH
WHEN: EVERY FRIDAY AND TUESDAY STARTING FROM FRI 11TH SEPT TO TUES 29TH SEPT
GUTH GAFA (meaning 'captive voice') is Ireland’s only independent documentary film festival. It focuses on showcasing the latest award-winning International and Irish documentary films on thought-provoking subjects, and promoting the art of great story-telling, through film, to rural Irish communities.
Supported by the Irish Film Board, the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland, Fáilte Ireland and Meath County Council, amongst others, this is an internationally acclaimed festival and welcomes hundreds of guests from Europe & abroad each year.
Now in its 9th year, it brings award-winning documentary directors and producers to Ireland. For the last number of years it has taken place in Co. Donegal, until last year when it was co-hosted in Donegal & Kells. This year however from the 2nd to the 4th of October, the festival takes place only in Kells, on the beautiful grounds of Headfort Demense and in venues in Kells Town.
To celebrate our move to Kells, we have been holding successful Taster Screenings every Thursday evening in our offices in the Duke Brothers building on Market Street and we are now very excited to announce the start of a three week competition to take place in Kells.
The hunt is on for miniature versions of our symbol the Guth Gafa Man as he hides at the local hot spots around Kells. Every Friday and Tuesday starting Friday 11th September, a clue will be released on the The Breakfast Show on LMFM after the 8am news and also simultaneously on Guth Gafa social media accounts.
Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to follow the clues in order to find the miniature Guth Gafa men in hiding. If you are successful, return them to the Guth Gafa office in the Duke Brothers building on Market Street and you will receive a voucher for 2 tickets to any film of your choice during the festival.
Good luck on your search!
