As the submission deadline approaches, the Fingal Film Festival team are overwhelmed with the response of filmmakers in this, the third year of the festival. June 30th is the final day of the submissions and the festival organisers and staff want to extend their congratulations to all the filmmakers who have submitted material to date.
As of last Friday, we have tripled our submissions from last year with films comprising of documentaries, feature films, animations, short films and Irish language films, student films have been placed in front of the selection committee. “It has been an unprecedented year for submissions” says Liz Kenny, “and the Introduction of our Irish language section, has seen us inundated with Irish language films”.
We have eight awards up for grabs this year, which will be presented on the final night of the festival at our awards ceremony night on September 28th 2014. These prizes have been sponsored by organisations such as TG4, Film Equipment Hire Ireland, Cannon, BAI (Broadcasting Authority of Ireland) Swords Express and many more, consisting of prizes ranging from cash – film equipment to broadcasting of films.
We believe this year will cement the Fingal Film Festival in the “Festival Landscape” as our profile both in Ireland and internationally has grown from strength to strength.
The Festival screenings and workshops will be held at Movies@Swords in the Pavilions Centre , Swords this year and promises to screen some of the best local and international films from around the world on the festival dates 26th - 28th Sept 2014.
