Celtic Media Festival to take place in Brittany 7-9 June 2022

The Celtic Media festival is an annual three day event that brings together media professionals from the Celtic nations and regions. This year the Festival will be held in Quimper, Brittany (Breton: Kemper, Breizh) from the 7th to the 9th of June 2022. The event sees conference panel sessions, workshops, pitching sessions and many networking events. It brings together delegates from the Celtic nations and regions to share and learn from each other’s experiences.

An important part of the Celtic Media Festival is the Torc Awards for Excellence. There are 26 Torc Awards presented including the coveted Gold Torc Award for Excellence which is presented to a film or television programme wholly or substantially in a Celtic language that embodies the spirit and ethos of the Festival. The medieval city of Quimper (Kemper), which is hosting the Festival, is the administrative capital of Finistère (Breton: Penn-ar-Bed) and has been described as the cultural capital of Breton culture.
