Headspace (2011): Another new Irish short on our Media Hub
Every year, Irish filmmakers produce innovative, award-winning shorts under the IFB’s Frameworks, Signatures, Gearrscannáin and Reality Bites schemes. After the films have finished their festival screenings, we upload them to the Short Film Channel of our Media Hub for everyone to enjoy.
We are delighted to announce that a new selection of short films will be available to watch on the Short Film Channel in the coming weeks. So far, we added Frameworks short Blinky™; the multi-award winning Reality Bites short Blue Rinse; Crossing Salween, a Signatures short; Short Cuts film Loft; and Collaboration Horizontale, a Reality Bites documentary short.
And from today, you can also watch in full Headspace, a Short Cuts film directed by Patrick Semple and produced by Barry O'Donoghue for Barley Films. Telling the story of a young boy who distances himself from reality in an effort to cope with a cycle of abuse, the film played at festivals around the world, and it was shortlisted for an IFTA and an Irish Council for Civil Liberties Human Rights Film Award. More info about the film here.
Lots more to come in the next few weeks! And in the meantime, you can watch many other short films and trailers on the Irish Film Board Media Hub.
