iffy, the short film festival on the Liffey has announced a eclectic mix of short films for their 4th edition on Saturday 23rd of November at The Pearse Centre Theatre, Dublin 2.
The bi-annual festival is known for its carefully created and easily digestible programme of short films and forging an intimate and relaxed vibe, which allows the audience to mingle and chat about the films they have seen over a glass of wine. This edition sees a fascinating and extensive selection of ten short films, eight of which are from Ireland. Also screening is a French Canadian animation and a wonderful experimental piece from North Carolina USA.
The selection isn't based on a specific theme; rather the theme emerges organically based on submissions. And this year it looks to be the most provocative yet.
Speaking about the festival, Duncan McKenna, Festival Organiser and Programmer said:
“It's a very interesting line-up. Lots of interpretative dance and female writers & directors selected without any express intention. We present a brilliant collection of strange and wonderful sights and sounds. From dancing with dead bodies to hiding them, November’s show is going to be a wonderful mix of shorts that will entertain and delight in equal measure”
The short film selection this year includes the multiple award-winning surreal comedy Mother written by Jonathan Hughes and directed by Natasha Waugh. Also featuring is the fascinating Five Letters to the Stranger Who Will Dissect my Brain by award-winning writer/director Oonagh Kearney. This film won Best Irish Short Film at the Dublin International Film Festival this year.
The festival will also showcase Jack Thornton’s Love Lane United, a proof of concept comedy short film about a group of underachievers who decide to start a Sunday League football team.
