Il libro Ireland and Cinema – Culture and Contexts, a cura di Barry Monahan (University College Cork), dedica un capitolo all’Irish Film Festa, che comprende anche un’intervista al direttore artistico del festival Susanna Pellis.
L’approccio dell’Irish Film Festa — scrivono gli autori Barry Monahan e Ciara Chambers — «tocca non solo ogni aspetto della produzione cinematografica irlandese (attraverso proiezioni di lungometraggi e cortometraggi, incontri con gli ospiti, workshop, masterclass e interviste pubbliche), ma si è rivelato anche un utile strumento culturale per creare legami tra i partecipanti e gli organizzatori di altre manifestazioni».
