An upcoming event to take note of and put in your diaries taking place in just over a few weeks at the end of May (27-30th May) is the Corona Fastnet Short Film Festival 2010 an independent short film festival which is set to showcase the work of many talented, established and first time cinematographers.
Starting on the Thursday of the 27th May, for four days Schull will go short film festival crazy with a host of short films on show for everyone who’s interested. Even though there is no cinema in Schull that doesn’t stop the town from hosting a brilliant festival. With over 136 short films on offer the venders hope to display them these 4 days in many outdoor and indoor venues up and down the town, from the mobile Cinemobile to the Town Hall to our own Harbour View Hotel, helping everyone embrace all the best of Short Films available.
This festival has something for everyone. For budding young film makers the festival gives them a chance to showcase and become recognized in their work with various competitions, film workshops and chances to meet and talk to well known people within the film industry. For film buffs it offers a wealth of opportunities to view before seen short films in unique settings, meet new and established film makers in person and perhaps if you wish take part in a film workshop. The town will also be in full festival mode with a good atmosphere and buzz around during the days and the evenings, in the streets and local pubs, and while there is much to do for the active film buff or film maker to enjoy the festival there will also be other activities, entertainment options and things to see and do around the town to keep one interested and entertained.
So whether you like to make films or watch them, come along, participate and best of all enjoy the best of national and international shortfilmmaking.
