Traveller culture to shine on-screen at IndieCork festival  

A programme of shorts from members of the Traveller community features among the highlights of an IndieCork event that also has several promising international offerings, writes Esther McCarthy 

Hazel Hurley's animation, A Short History of Irish Travellers, is one of the short films showing at IndieCork. 

Traveller culture, community and storytelling will be celebrated at this year’s IndieCork film festival. The festival, running from October 2-9  and online until October 16, will feature a full shorts programme of work from members of the Traveller community.

The initiative came about following a previous screening of animated short film A Short History of Irish Travellers, which proved to be a hit with IndieCork audiences.
