This news story just came from the IFTN news site, so go over there to read the full story.
I don't always post just because something's been selected for a festival but I thought this was worth mentioning because there are seven of them all making their way to the Shortfest at Palm Springs and because I've actually seen six of them. But better than that, the six I've seen are all films that I've given praise to in the past. I've not seen Liam Gavin's SUNSHOWER, but as for the rest of them...
ATLANTIC by Conor Ferguson has been mentioned loads of times here before, and you'll recall (well, maybe you will) that I referred to it as "three minutes of cinematic perfection" and rated it 10/10.
WHATEVER TURNS YOU ON by Declan Cassidy was the subject of a rave review which just appeared recently. Click here to read it.
THE GERMAN by Nick Ryan popped up at Cork last year and was duly declared to be 8/10 from me.
THE MAN INSIDE by Rory Bresnihan didn't quite jibe with my sensibilities but was still enough to merit 7/10 all the same (see the link to THE GERMAN above), and it'll be showing at Edinburgh this month.
SANDPIPER by Jimmy T. Murakami had the unenviable task of following ATLANTIC (see link above) but still scored an impressive 8/10 from me anyway. If you're wondering why I awarded ratings for these films but then haven't done it since... I've no idea to be honest. Maybe I'll start doing it again soon.
AN RANGER by PJ Dillon was a 9/10 from me first time I saw it (see the link next to THE GERMAN again) and then seemed to only improve when I viewed it again this year at Dublin.
So there you have it - seven films selected, six of them praised here by me. The evidence is overwhelming: my opinion is clearly the barometer by which all films are measured and I hereby declare myself to be the sole arbiter of cinematic taste. I have to admit to not having a scooby where Palm Springs actually is though.
