THE CAMINO VOYAGE is the Winner of the Audience Award for Best Feature – at The Dingle International Film Festival in March 2018.
Speaking at the closing of the festival, the festival’s Director, Maurice Galway wrote that “The opening feature film;The Camino Voyage sold out weeks before it’s Dingle premiere. Due to demand, the festival screened the film again on Sunday 25th to another sold out audience. The film was received by a spellbound audience on both occasions – enchanted, inspired and ultimately very deeply moved.”
The film will have its International Premiere this week at the THE NEWPORT BEACH INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL in Southern California. The festival features more than 350 films from 50 countries with record attendance of 54,000 attendees !
It screened to another sold-out audience – and received another standing ovation (after the premiere in Dublin) – at the inaugural CELTIC CAMINO FESTIVAL in Westport on April 13th and the film will continue its own odyssey with upcoming screenings at:
