 Emily's Song |
Three Irish short films have been selected for the prestigious Oberhausen International Short Film Festival in Germany - Thomas Kennedy & Frank Kelly’s ‘Emily’s Song’, Ken Wardrop’s ‘Farewell Packets of Ten’ and Clare Langan’s ‘Metamorphosis’.
The Oberhausen festival runs from the 3 – 8 May 2007. Now in it’s 53rd year, Oberhausen has become a highly regarded film event - a place where filmmakers such as Martin Scorsese, George Lucas, Roman Polanski, Alexander Kluge and Werner Herzog, and more recently Ulrike Ottinger, Romuald Karmakar, Pipilotti Rist, Jean-Pierre Jeunet and François Ozon have presented their first films.
The three Irish shorts are among 147 entries selected from 43 countries for inclusion in the festival, out of a total 6,500 works submitted.
‘Emily’s Song’ will compete in the Children's and Youth Film Competition strand, while ‘Farewell Packets of Ten’ and ‘Metamorphosis’ will compete in the International Competition.
