‘The Missing Scarf’ Wins Top Prize at Chicago Irish FF
13 Mar 2014 : Aisling Newton
Irish animation ‘The Missing Scarf’ has won Best Film at the 2014 Chicago Irish Film Festival.

Dubbed 'a black comedy that explores fears of the unknown', ‘The Missing Scarf’ is written and directed by Eoin Duffy, produced by Jamie Hogan of Belly Creative and features the voice of the former 'Star Trek' star George Takei.

Nominated in the Best Short Film category at this year’s IFTA Awards, ‘The Missing Scarf’ fended off competition from Etain McGuckian’s ‘Bleedin’ Rapid’, which came in second, and ‘Scratch’ by Philip Kelly, which came third. An honourable mention went to ‘Danger Overhead Powerlines’ by Mia Mullarkey.

The Irish Film Board (IFB) Frameworks scheme originally funded the multi-award winning animation, which was also named as one of ten animated shorts on the longlist for Academy Award consideration this year. It became eligible after picking up the James Horgan Award for Best Animation at the 25th Galway Film Fleadh, compounding upon its success with a further win at the LA Shorts Festival.

In Chicago, the Consulate of Ireland Award went to ‘Story Bud?’ by Jenny Keogh. Winner of the Audience Award was Shimmy Marcus, for his film ‘Hannah Cohen’s Holy Communion’.

Post-production for ‘The Missing Scarf’ was done in Windmill Lane with Richard Duffy acting as script editor. Tobias Norberg, Gavin Little and Joe McHugh from Echolab were the composers and sound designers for the short.
