The Fingal Film Festival has announced the line-up for this year’s programme, with the festival scheduled to take place 25th - 27th September at Movies@swords, Pavilions Centre, Swords, Co Dublin.
Creative Director Dave Byrne said: "The finalist films selected from the schedule are incredible, we had three times the amount of films submitted last year and the shortlisting has been very tough. We are happy with the final selection and believe there is something for everyone in this year’s schedule. We are being quite specific in our 2015 schedule layout, making the festival more accessible for people who just want to see a good film."
"The final selection of films are from all over the world. We had a huge response internationally this year. Also, the wealth of talent amongst Irish Independents this year has been inspiring, although this made our decision-making a lot more difficult".
Workshops at the festival this year will be hosted by a team from Treehouse Republic Animation Workshop CEO Stephen Fagan, running on day one 25th September (10am –1pm).
Sound Supervisor Niall Brady from Screen Scene and Steve Flanagan from Ardmore Sound will run this year’s Sound Design workshop based on the case study ‘Glassland’ directed by Gerard Barrett, taking place on the 26th September (10am-1pm).
There will also be a Workshop Screening and Q&A from the documentary film makers ‘7 Days in Syria’ with the Producer & DOP slated to attend on the 26th September at 2pm. This documentary delves into the centre of the conflict in Syria and is described as a moving and brave body of work.
