The Irish Film Board’s animated short ‘The Missing Scarf’ has so far had a very impressive year. Altogether, the film received 16 international awards including wins at the San Francisco Film Festival, Savannah Film Festival, Valladolid Film Festival, and many others. The film also landed a nomination for the upcoming European Film Awards.
The film has been recognised nationally, having garnered wins at the Galway Film Fleadh, Cork Film Festival and the Foyle Film Festival. It was also nominated for Best Short at this year’s IFTAs.
The project’s most notable triumph came in early 2014 when it secured a place on the Academy Awards shortlist. After this, the film was selected to participate in the Oscar theatrical release, screening in more than 300 theatres throughout North America.
The film boasts the voice work of renowned actor, activist and Facebook megastar George Takei. Director Eoin Duffy and producer Jamie Hogan first approached George with the project in early 2013 and recorded him shortly after in his hometown of Hollywood California.
The multi award-winning animated comedy is now set for its highly anticipated online release. The film will premiere via Shortoftheweek.com on September 29th.
