Digitally Made Shorts Get Viewing
A year-long programme to develop new filmmaking talent and enable innovative short films using digital technology to be produced has paid off.
The Digital Short films produced last year will be screened over the coming weeks in Belfast and London.
The four films will screen at an invitation only screening at BAFTA as part of a regional showcase of Digital Short films on Wednesday 10 February.
Queen's Film Theatre, Belfast will then host a public screening of the four films followed by a Question and Answer session with the participating directors the following Monday.
Davy Jones, was written and directed by Richard Parkin and tells the story of a first fishing trip for a ten year-old boy who has to decide how to deal with the anguish his estranged and immature father causes him.
Paint, written by Andrew and Ryan Tohill and directed by RyanTohill is about Michael, who at his lowest point, misses the lingering smell of paint.
His son David reminds him that some memories, no matter how painful, should not be forgotten.
Sundays, written and directed by Alanna Riddell, is the story of a troubled teenager struggling to cope with his mother's death and an elderly widow trapped in a cycle of competitive grave polishing and social isolation meet in a cemetery.
The Dinner Party, which was written by Mark Jordan and directed by Michael Lennox, looks at a solid, stable sort of man, Tom who is thrown 'off balance' when a very old hurt once more raises its ugly head.
The films were produced by Red Ray Films who also facilitated the Digital Shorts development process.
Northern Ireland Screen and The UK Film Councils Digital Shorts scheme developed the 12-month programme.
