    At Jeff_lebowski's suggestion, perhaps it is time to update the old 2006 film festival sticky thread.

    Personally I'm not an expert on such things, but if you want to throw some suggestions here I'll put together a central post that brings the topic a little more up to date :)

    Since I did suggest it I suppose I better provide something to this thread:

    Here's some of the biggest festivals running in Ireland at the moment:

    Galway Film Fleadh
    Cork Film Festival
    Darklight Festival
    Dublin International Film Festival
    Foyle Film Festival
    Kerry Film Festival
    Fresh Film Festival
    Cinemagic Belfast

    Most of these accept shorts although I don't think the Dublin one has a competitive shorts section at all.

    Feel free to throw in suggestions.

    irish Short film has gone to the dogs over the last ten years..all the great short film directors couldn’t get funding so they had to switch careers and now we have to look at kitchen sink dramas about social issues that you can pick up on the evening news. There’s no cinematography that stands out at all… just self consumed undignified draaaaaamaas like fair city and most of these directors don’t even come from film backgrounds. Stop making dog rough shorts and throwing out all these sad depressing stories where scumbuckets are shouting and screaming at one another and then at the end sitting or standing staring into space on the last shot to try and gain sympathy. It’s the Same ending on them all. People need to be entertained not drained to death by Irish short films.
