Following another successful year for IFB short films, we are delighted to announce the successful teams selected for the ‘Gearrscannáin' scheme.‘Gearrscannáin' is a new short film scheme to produce Irish language short films that will appeal to a general audience. The scheme aims to encourage fresh, new directorial voices willing to take risks, challenge audiences and introduce them to interesting themes which will move them. Whilst aiming to engage a diverse viewership, the films will also be able to be rated for an under 15 audience.
The following teams have been awarded the first Gearrscannain awards:
- Buddy to be directed by Pat Comber and produced by Keith Bogue for Lucky Dog Films.
- Asal directed by Tom O'Suilleabhain and produced by Aislinn Ni Chinneagain for Newgrange Pictures.
