IndieCork Celebrates its Fifth and Most Successful Year Yet
17 Oct 2017 :
IndieCork Film Festival celebrated the finale of its fifth film festival on Sunday night with the screening of ‘Summer 1993’.

Prior to the closing screening of the festival, a number of awards were given to a number of people who had made a significant contribution to the industry.

 

Mick Hannigan, co-founder of IndieCork:

“We are aiming to contribute something meaningful and provide genuine opportunities to celebrate the independent film and music sector,” he said, reflecting upon the week and festivals passed. “A day later, we feel IndieCork 5 really achieved that. We look forward to building on this in the coming year.”

IndieCork Festival presented the very best in Cork, Irish and international independent film and music over October 8th - 15th. Several local and international feature films received their Irish premiere at the festival, including Luca Guagdanino’s, “Call Me By Your Name”. This edition also created programme partnerships with the Visegrad nations, O’Bhéal, the German Short Film Association and Filmbase, among others.

Una Feely, co-director of IndieCork:

“IndieCork is genuinely contributing to the artistic life of Cork City through a local and national perspective, but we also connect internationally to the worlds of independent film and music making,”

To close the 2017 edition, the festival honoured filmmakers who embody the creativity, imagination, and tenacious spirit of independent cinema. Among work presented, IndieCork awarded Best Irish Short Film to Mike Hannon for “The Cloud of Unknowing”; Creative Cork Best Short to Killian Pettit for “Anxiety High”; Best World Short to a Belgian duo, William Hanne and Yann Bonin, for their film “KL”.

Gerald Walsh, a festival favourite, was awarded this year’s Spirit of IndieCork award for his consistently creative and evocative feature films.

In addition, the Ó’Bhéal Poetry Film award went to Kayla Jeanson for her film, “Descrambled Eggs” and the Ronan Phelan Script Award was given to Mark Dollard, for his script, “The Story of Aylan”, a prize awarded by Filmbase.

In the music categories, Gunther Berkus was awarded the Pioneering Musical Practice award for his contribution to music and culture scenes in Cork. Séan Murphy and Daithi Mac Cruitín, better known as Spekulativ Fiktion and Mankyy, were honoured with the Emerging Music Award for their latest EP release, interpretation of and devotion to the Irish art and music scene.
