'Anywhere But Here'
Irish short films become available for streaming, and get screenings and wins at film festivals around the world…

‘Anywhere But Here’ Wins at Brest European Short Film Festival

After its recent Grand Prix win at the Cork Film Festival, the Irish short film ‘Anywhere But Here’ won the Press Jury Award at the Brest European Short Film Festival, which took place in Brest, France. ‘Anywhere But Here’ was funded by Rankin's Collabor8te scheme and produced by Dublin based production company Sweet Media.

Written by Ursula Rani Sarma, directed by John Hayes and produced by Andy Bradford of Sweet Media, the short tells the story of James, a mixed race boy living in a crumbling coastal farmhouse with his grief stricken father. He spends the last days of his summer holidays on a windswept beach with his only friend, a Japanese Spider crab called Bernard. But then electric city kid Stacey shows up and turns his world around.

Shot on location in Dublin in January 2014 by DOP James Mather, ‘Anywhere But Here’ features rising young Irish talent Doru Micu and Lisa Reilly alongside Steve Wall and Connor Delaney.

‘Anywhere But Here’ premiered at the Galway Film Fleadh in July and was also screened at the Edinburgh Film Festival earlier in the year. The film’s win in Cork means that it is now approved to enter the long list for the Live Action Short Film competition at the 2016 Academy Awards.

‘I’ve Been A Sweeper’ Swept to Newport Beach Film Festival

Following its screening at the Richard Harris Film Festival in October 2014, producer Mark Holland's short film 'I've been a Sweeper' has been selected out of ten shortlisted shorts by the Newport Beach Film Festival judges. It will be screened as part of the Irish Shorts Section of the Newport Beach Film Festival at the end of April 2015.

Eleanor McSherry, the Richard Harris Film Festival Creative Director, 'I would like to thank all the filmmakers who entered our Newport Beach Short Film Competition, we were overwhelmed by the response. Richard Harris would have loved the fact that a festival in his name was giving opportunities to other Irish filmmakers. I would also like to thank the team at Newport Beach for making this competition happen. We hope to see you all in 2015!'

‘I've Been a Sweeper’ is a short film telling the story of one unusual man's even more unusual life. It follows a sweeper on the final day of his life as he sweeps the floors of Dublin’s pubs. The film is written and directed by Ciarán Dooley.

Short Doc ‘The Picture House’ Available on Youtube Now

‘The Picture House’, a love letter about Dublin's forgotten picture houses, is now available to stream on youtube. The short retrospective documentary is directed by Paul Butler Lennox and shot by Stephen C Walsh DOP.

Made as part of KinoD's international Kaberet festival, ‘The Picture House’ is a nostalgic look back at urban cinema going memories through the eyes of some of Dublin's original patrons. It is a reflection on the spectacle of the motion pictures before multiplexes came into existence and some say, ruined the experience and theatricality of it all.

The short film was edited by Stephen C.Walsh and Paul Butler Lennox. Sound location recording was by Shane Hannigan and FX/grading by Stephen C. Walsh. Titles were produced by by Daragh Murphy @November Seven Films.
