UNESCO City of Film designation announced - A permanent global legacy for the creative industries of Galway
UNESCO Director-General, Ms Irina Bokova, announced from Paris that Galway has been designated a UNESCO City Of Film. Under the UNESCO Creative City’s network, Galway is now one of only five cities in the world to achieve this much sought-after status. Galway joins Sydney, Australia and Galway’s twin city of Bradford in the UK as a designated City of Film. This is a permanent global designation. This status brings the highest internationally recognised standard of excellence in the creative industries to Galway. The title of Creative City of Film also includes membership of UNESCO’s Creative City’s Network.
