Kerry Film Courses
Tralee is a hub of many highly regarded 3rd level film and production courses .More than the norm. I am only here a year and am already blown away by how many people are being turned out. The IT in Tralee and Fás Tralee students have extremely high standards of ability and skills not to mention talent. Many of them got involved with the festival this year which was great to see. I mentored some students from Tralee IT this year.
Kerry Film Makers
The 50hr Film project was launched on Wednesday by Kerry Film maker in residence Michael Kelly.Its aim was to challenge film-makers to create a short film to be completed by midday Saturday. The prize for the best film was €500. The race was on! I kept bumping into film crews throughout the week, which was great. I felt like I was back in Dublin, working the production route again. Great to see the local’s reaction to film crews working amongst them! The worthy winners were delighted with themselves. Their film was a mini triumph in my opinion. Well done to the gang who won with “Fools After School” – worthy winners.
Some other main category winners were,
Audience Award went to “Windows of Wonder” directed by Maurice O’Carroll
Best Animation “Mr. Hubolt – Director Laurent Witz.
Best Irish narrative “Alia” by Claire Dix
Best International Narrative went to “Un Pieu Plus” .Directed by Conor Ferguson . Produced by Ailish Bracken
Best Documentary went to “Novena” by Director Anna Rodgers. This award was presented by the acclaimed Catherine Bray editor of Film4.com and Film 2013 presenter.
The Irish film based on the tragedy of Ger McDonell’s adventure on K2 in 2008 was a highlight for me. A drama documentary shot with great care and attention to detail.It was moving and exhilarating all at the same time. A family’s pain was obvious in the heart wrenching talk by Ger’s brother JJ at the Q & A session after the film showed in Siamsa Tíre Theatre. A film worth seeking out when it goes on general release in November.
