The Irish Film Board, together with the Galway Film Fleadh, will host an evening of short films at the arthouse screen at the Eye Cinema on Friday 24 September, as part of Galway Culture Night 2010. Featuring a number of Irish produced award-winning shorts, the screenings will run from 7pm to 8pm, and will be followed by a short discussion with Fran Keaveney of the IFB and Felim MacDermott of the Galway Film Fleadh.
The screenings will include ‘Bye Bye Now’, an amusing 15-minute celebration of the phone box in Ireland, ‘Moore St Masala’, a Bollywood- style tale of love between shop clerk Baba and the sexy estate agent across the street.
The evening will also feature the hilarious ‘Granny O’Grimm’s Sleeping Beauty’, in which Granny O’Grimm, a seemingly sweet old lady, loses the plot as she tells her version of Sleeping Beauty to her terrified granddaughter.
The discussion will take place following the screenings in the arthouse screen café, and will give an insight into the short film as an art form and its development and growth in popularity and style.
Screenings begin at 7pm sharp.
