Others include ‘Groundless’ (Eimear Callaghan), which picked up the award for Best First Short Drama at the 2016 Galway Film Fleadh, Oscar-nominated Naomi Sheridan’s ‘We Have Each Other’ and many more titles from up-and-coming talent. Click the link below to access the full programme.

    “Our Festival is packed with a variety of stunning events. But we are particularly proud of how 2017 brings both the past and the future of film into focus. RTÉ’s Neil Leyden will present ‘Stories in your Pocket’, a look at how broadcasters and filmmakers will radically change how they do business. The flip side of that coin is our Gala Event which will delve into the world of silent era film, featuring Oscar winner Kevin Brownlow and the composer Carl Davis, whose legendary scoring for film is known all over the world. Carl will play the piano accompaniment to the classic silent, ‘The Goose Woman’, kudos to Maurice Seezer and Chris O’Dell.”
