International Short Film Series Seeking Submissions

Beyond the Lens is Ireland's only international short film series. Its aim is to give Irish short films a new platform to be seen once they complete their festival circuits.

Broadcasting in Ireland, Britain, Austrailia and North America. It examines the story behind the story, the filmmaker behind the film.

Season 1 of Beyond the Lens featured one Academy Award winner, four IFTA nominated films and one BAFTA nominated film. Short films that aired included: 'Stutterer', 'Skunky Dog', 'Love is a Sting', 'Toy Soldiers', 'SLR', 'The Great Wide Open' and 'Fresh Cut Grass'.

Season 2 is currently seeking new short films that will broadcast in January.

Note:: The concept is for the Director/Producer/Actors of the short film to chat about the making of it, the story behind it and the themes that it touches on. So any submissions will need to have a representative of the film appear on screen themselves also. To submit please send an online screener to davidclynch @ dundaraproductions.ie
