Filmmakers Network announce Dublin’s first Film Fringe Festival 2010
Following on from the success of the Galway Fringe Fleadh June 2009, FilmmakersNetwork.ie present Dublin’s first Film Fringe Festival in February 2010, the FilmmakersNetwork.ie Dublin Film Fringe.
The Dublin Film Fringe festival aims to focus on exciting new shorts from Irish filmmakers as well as showcasing classic or unseen shorts from established directors. The festival will take place in sites across the city and aims to host talks by directors, as well as films screened in unusual and diverse locations.
“The Dublin Film Fringe is an opportunity for audiences in the capital to see some of the best shorts from emerging Irish filmmakers,” says Jason Butler from FilmmakersNetwork.ie. “The theme of our mini-festival is ‘D.I.Y.’ We’ll showcase films and filmmakers that display the invention, ingenuity and raw energy required when working independently.”
The Dublin Film Fringe festival is now accepting submissions for its short film programme as well as a call for volunteers. For more information, please go to:
