GORM Gathering 2025: Reclaiming the Narrative Through Film

On Saturday, 18 October, Dublin’s The Complex will host the second annual GORM Gathering, an immersive event that challenges conventional diversity narratives in Irish media.

Under the theme “Disrupting DEI Through Storytelling”, the Gathering brings together filmmakers of colour, industry leaders, and community voices to spotlight authentic, transformative storytelling.

This year’s programme includes a film screening, protest-rooted performances, and panels that reject performative inclusion in favour of deep structural change. A standout feature is the Co-Creation Session, where the industry listens and the community leads—flipping the script on traditional power dynamics.

GORM’s approach moves beyond surface-level representation, embracing fairness, participatory ownership, and storytelling that unsettles as it inspires. Learn more and get involved: gormmedia.com/events/gorm-gathering-2025.
