The Catalyst International Film Festival has announced Ruth Negga as its ambassador for the festival, now in its second year.

The  festival will take place in Limerick, a city where Ruth lived for many years as a child.

“I am absolutely thrilled and delighted to be an ambassador for the 2nd Catalyst International Film Festival in Limerick. I feel that the Catalyst International Film Festival can and will act as a compass, a beacon, a buoyant celebration of the multitude of exciting stories that are brimming in modern Ireland,” Ruth says.

“And I am thrilled of course, that this is all to take place in Limerick. A city of determination, of grit and resilience, of uncowed beauty with a modern and multicultural identity, that has a diverse and supportive artistic community. It’s the perfect place for a meeting of all these waters.”

The Irish premiere of feature films, Bandar Band and MAXIMA is a highlight of the festival, which features a programme of Irish and international short films, interviews, panel discussions and an awards ceremony.

Bandar Band is an Iran/Germany-produced film following a road trip through floors in Iran in 2019. MAXIMA is about a Peruvian indigenous farmer named Máxima Acuña, and her fight to protect her land as she stands up to the largest gold producer in the world: US-based Newmont Mining Corporation.

The festival runs online on 19 and 20 March. Find out more at catalystfilmfest.com.
