Best New Irish Film award at Cork Film Festival: Six nominees profiled 

The Best New Irish Film award at Cork International Film Festival enters its second year, and is again sponsored by the Irish Examiner. Here are the six films in contention

September Says, a documentary on Edna O'Brien, and The Damned are among the nominees for the Best New Irish Film award at Cork International Film Festival.

Fréwaka, Friday, Nov 8, Everyman, 8.30pm: Aislinn Clarke’s folk-horror features a home care worker who forms a bond with an agoraphobic older woman. As well as the dementia-sufferer’s superstitions and fears about the supernatural world, the film also touches on Ireland’s Church-dominated past.
