RICHARD Harris International Film Festival, scheduled for its second on October bank holiday weekend, is introducing an Irish Short Film competition. According to festival creative director Eleanor McSherry, this will be run in conjunction with America’s Newport Beach Film Festival 2015 for which the entries will be considered and one selected for screening in April next year.
For now, the spec. for film makers is to submit films of no more than 15 minutes in length.
Those selected for Limerick in October 2014 will be screened on Saturday October 25. Look to website www.richardharrisfilmfestival.com for entry details.
“The Newport Beach Film Festival has the largest shorts program within a major film festival in the United States,” McSherry reports. ”That festival screens over 200 short films in over 25 programs. This is a fantastic opportunity for Irish filmmakers to screen their film in the heartland of the American film industry in one of the most prestigious film festivals in North America”.
