GORM Gathering 2025

The GORM Gathering is an extraordinary “narrative change” event. It unites filmmakers of colour, and industry leaders to celebrate diversity and inclusion in Irish screen. This year’s gathering promises to be a groundbreaking experience, offering a unique fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and challenging storytelling. The goal is to showcase Irish creative screen talent as we connect them with local and underserved audiences.

Event Theme: 

Disrupting DEI through storytelling. 

DEI got edited down. We’re bringing you the director’s cut. GORM Gathering 2025 is your behind-the-scenes pass to a film-led space of joy and resistance—where performativity is shown the door. Expect a screening that dares to show what corporate DEI events won’t, panels that reclaim authorship, performances that carry protest in their rhythm, and a co-creation session where industry listens and community leads. 

Disrupting DEI is about redefining equity goals, moving from surface-level representation to deep structural transformation, grounded in fairness, participatory ownership, data-informed practice and storytelling that unsettles as it inspires.

Because when the system won’t hand us the mic - we bring our own.
