Ireland’s EFP Shooting Star, Mark O’Halloran, will attend the Seville Film Festival (4 – 12 November) in Spain as part of the Touring Shooting Stars programme, where he and his fellow stars will attend special screenings of their films.
O’Halloran will attend the screening of his film ‘H3’, produced by Metropolitan Films and directed by Les Blair. Seville is the second festival to present this year’s Touring Shooting Stars Film Programme, following the introduction of selected Shooting Stars in Sétubal (Portugal) in May. The programme invites a number of promising young actors to international film festivals and gives them exposure to new audiences. The Spanish Shooting Star 2005, Unax Ugalde, will act as host and welcome the other young actors in his home country.
“For Seville Film Festival”, says Manuel Grosso, contest director, “it is an honor to be the first Spanish Festival to recognize the importance of the young acting professionals in the audience´s reception of European film.”
The next generation of Shooting Stars will be introduced from the 10th to the 12th of February at the Berlin International Film Festival 2006.
