Cork Film Festival will present two programmes of Irish short films at the Liverpool Irish Festival. These films reflect the breadth of filmmaking going on in Ireland today. Familiar themes surface such as Ireland’s rural and storytelling history but they also introduce new voices and styles which may surprise in their diversity. Several films have only recently been completed, and they will also screen some award winning films from recent years.

 

Cork Film Festival are delighted to introduce to the Liverpool audience; three Irish filmmakers who have come to present their films.

Tony Donoghue, director of ‘Six Farms: A Film From My Parish’ has presented this film all over the world, winning many awards. A beautifully crafted film which documents a rural past, this film captures a familiar though disappearing Ireland.

Oonagh Kearney is a Cork filmmaker and shot ‘Love At The End Of The World’ in the wilds of West Cork’s rugged landscape. Crafted with great sensitivity to mood, light and sound – the emotional story at the heart of the film is ably expressed through the director’s skill.

Cathy Brady is a filmmaker from Newry where ‘Small Change’ was shot. An affecting portrait of a young mother, the film shows great skill in eliciting real and naturalistic performances from the cast; married with strong story telling and crafted filmmaking.
