Sun and the stars shine at Fastnet festival in Schull

Good films and a great atmosphere contributed to another success in Schull, writes Ellie O’Byrne

THE sun was out and so were the stars at the eighth Corona Fastnet Short Film Festival at the weekend in Schull, Co Cork.

Irish filmmakers and actors flock to Schull for the film festival in the town with no cinema, which makes canny use of a localised intranet to allow the entire programme to be watched from devices anywhere in the village; “Our Village is our Screen” is the festival slogan.
