It’s events like this night of screenings that help remind us who we are. Back in 2019, we opened the Festival with a Made in the Midlands compilation and it has now become a firm fixture on our programme. 

This impressive collection includes live-action shorts made in the Midlands and those made elsewhere by Midlands filmmakers.

Join us as we celebrate the region’s rich filmmaking talent.

Screening followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers.

Pre-Drinks Reception from 7.30pm.

Shorts Screening include:

For The Love of It

Christor & Caoimhe Glennon

This is a film about love, in five segments. Each part deals with a different form of love. Love of the self, family, passion, strangers, and obsession. The goal was to give the people of Birr something different, to show them new artistic perspectives. It’s an eclectic selection of styles forming a unique whole.

 

Duffle Bag Boy

Christy Higgins

Set in Dublin, ‘Duffle Bag Boy’ follows a young weed dealer called Kevin as he makes his nightly rounds. It’s a typical night for him until his latest delivery turns out to be someone he recognises from his past.
