Charlie Chaplin Comedy & Film Festival 2012

The Charlie Chaplin Comedy Film Festival honours the pioneering spirit of a great film maker and advocate for social change.

Held annually in the beautiful little village of Waterville on the Ring of Kerry in the South West of Ireland, the festival includes a hugely entertaining range of events and screenings, sheltered only meters from the wild Atlantic Ocean.

Charlie frequently visited our village, keeping several houses in the vicinity. His family still holiday here. The local community erected a statue of Charlie in 1998 and since that time it has become one of the most visited statues in Ireland.

The Festival events include both film screenings and cultural activities in the spirit of Charlie Chaplin. Included, will be a Vintage Car Rally, Circus Acts and much more for the whole family to enjoy. Accommodation can be arranged at one of the many Hotels, Guest Houses, B&Bs and Budget Hostels.

Tickets to the events will be available at a time nearer to the Festival. Sign up to our mailing list to receive more information and regular updates.

We look forward this year to even more participation from film makers both professional and amateur - and everyone in between, including entertainers, speakers and the Community at large.

We would like to point out that the Festival is organised by a fantastic team of volunteers who give their time generously and freely to bring the Charlie Chaplin Comedy Film Festival to the world. We are all looking forward to meeting you in the Village of Waterville on The Ring of Kerry soon.

Kind regards

From all the Charlie Chaplin
Comedy & Film Festival Team
