Irish update

A brief interlude (I promise my EIFF stuff will continue tomorrow) to update on a couple of things Irish.

First of all, well done to FORTY FOOT on scooping both the Best Irish and Audience awards in the Stranger Than Fiction festival. That's all I've managed to find online so far - if any of the Scottish films managed to win the international award, someone please let me know!

Also, I've just read over on The Quiet Earth (while keeping up to date with one of my other film obsessions, the world of the post-apocalyptic movie) that Conor Horgan's ONE HUNDRED MORNINGS is to have its premiere in Galway on the 11th. Depending on what else is on, I hope to be at that one.

In terms of low-budget Irish post-apocalyptic stuff we've already had DITCHING this year. I suspect this one may have been made for a little bit more money, but not that much, given that it's another of the films from the Catalyst Project, which has already given us Margaret Corkery's EAMON.
