Liverpool Irish Festival - DQ presents Irish Shorts Programme 2!

For my sins, IndieCork's Una Feely has given me the task of presenting tonight's Liverpool Irish Festival's Irish Shorts 2 programme at the very impressive Liverpool FACT at 18.30. Films include 'Atrophy', 'Foxes' 'Two Wheels Good', along with Rinkydink's 'Salmon of Knowledge' and my disgraceful 'Furniture - Murder and Love'. All prayers welcome!

Liverpool Irish Film Festival - Screening One

Irish Shorts Screening One at FACT in Bold Street Liverpool last night - nice crowd! 'Rubai' and Clare Brady's 'Wasted' probably the highlights of the show. 'Mister Heaney, a wee portrait' went down grand and DVD for 'leitronium' glitched, leading to a rather fractured-narrative experimental result - weird! 'Salmon of Knowledge' and 'furniture' tonight - may the DVD Gods shine upon us!

Thanks to Una Feely for the invite to participate!

Fastnet - 'cutbacks' window

'cutbacks' is David Quin's satirical internet series. Started in 2009, the series has shamelessly lampooned Irish political and public figures and hit big viewing figures during the recent Irish Presidential campaign. Several short films have emerged from the ‘cutbacks’ series. ‘Mister Heaney, a wee portrait’ won Best Animation at the 2010 Galway Film Fleadh and ‘leitronium’ won the Irish Consulate Award at the 2012 Chicago Irish Film Festival. Both trophies are displayed in this window, along with a cardboard factory set and a Seamus Heaney mask from ‘leitronium’.
