Thought I'd post a couple of short films here for you to watch which I uncovered on my semi-regular trawl through the archives of Vimeo. One Irish, one Scottish - which I guess as far as this blog goes, basically means there's something for everyone.
First of all there's a film I've mentioned here before, ISLAND TO ISLA. It's a touching little tale of love and the postal service, set against the backdrop of a small, picturesque Scottish island.
I discovered this after I'd praised the excellent LIFE OF A PIGEON a few months back. The director of that film, Billy Campbell, didn't direct this one, but he did act as cinematographer. It's a contribution for which he picked up an award at the Encounters Short Film Festival and from the very first scene you can see why. It looks terrific.
The second video I'm posting here is an Irish short that I've mentioned several times in the past and have said nice things about. Colm Quinn's NO REGRETS IN THE WEST is now online so now those of you who didn't manage to see it at any festivals (as opposed to people like me who saw it at several) can finally see exactly what I'm talking about. A personal film about the director's father, it's a documentary but also heavily inspired by the western and it's a visual delight.
Check out both films below, ISLAND TO ISLA is first with NO REGRETS IN THE WEST below it.
