In Short: Ireland in Collaboration with London Breeze Film Festival 2024
ICC is partnering with London Breeze Film Festival 2024 for a special afternoon programme of film and chat.
See six short docs and fictions by or with Irish talent. You will find tales of police corruption in 1980s London, the exhilaration and danger of ‘diffing’ on the back roads of present-day Northern Ireland, love stories and tales of loneliness amongst superheroes, a new mother and a worker in a future dystopian world. We will be chatting with the filmmakers and other special guests on stage following the screening.
Of particular note is St Pancras Sunrise – an award winning short by Maeve Murphy (Silent Grace) that began life as a ‘proof of concept’ for her intended feature film adapted from her own short novel, Christmas at the Cross. The proposed feature film now has Jim Sheridan (My Left Foot, The Field, In the Name of the Father) on board as Executive Producer, and the short film has already garnered awards on its short festival run to date.
With other new and award-winning films from emerging filmmakers in the programme, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
