FilmOffaly Short Film Award Exhibition
Launch | Wednesday 8 October | 6pm | Birr Library
Exhibition is open all week
Free; no booking required
Join us in Birr Library for a special exhibition celebrating the winners of the FilmOffaly Short Film Award through the years.
Since 2008, FilmOffaly has supported writers and filmmakers with distinctive voices, offering funding and mentorship to help bring unique stories to the screen. The award is open to short film screenplays of any genre or style, with just one rule: the finished film must be shot entirely in County Offaly.
As part of this year’s OFFline Film Festival, we’re delighted to team up with FilmOffaly and Offaly Libraries to present an exhibition of stills from the many remarkable films that have been made thanks to the bursary.
All are welcome!
