We're also delighted to show the Irish award winning 'Virtues of a Sinner'.
The New York International Independent Film and Video Festival, the largest film festival in the world, has awarded young Irish film maker John Corcoran (28) Best Director of a Short Film in the International category of the festival. "Virtues of a Sinner" was written and directed by John Corcoran and was produced by Jim Colgan, Grainne Bennett and Rebecca Flavin. The story centres on the process which is carried out by God's angel and Satan's angel when they need to decide the fate of deceased souls. They do so using childish tit-for-tat tactics which ultimately fail when they meet their last soul. And there were severe time constraints - John wrote the film on a Friday, cast it on Saturday and Sunday, crewed and designed it on Monday and shot it on 35mm on Wednesday in the space of nine hours! John's first short film, "Poultry in Motion", was the Audience Award Winner at the Corto Imola Film Festival in 2002.
We will also be screening one of the winners of the fast forward film festival. A project that challenges people to make a short film based on a given theme in 24 hours. Shot, edited, and shown.
