For the period 2007 to 2012, the festival was known (for sponsorship reasons) as the Corona Cork Film Festival.[4]
The festival programme is a mix of big budget pictures, world cinema, independent films, documentaries and short films. While international films are also shown at the event, the festival organiser's describe it as a "showcase for Irish film production".[5]
