Curtains up for Fastnet short films

FILM lovers are expected to flock to west Cork next month where the best of talented young cinematographers will showcase their work.

The Corona Fastnet Short Film Festival will take place in Schull from May 27-30 and promises to be an endorsement of real talent, with more than 135 films submitted to date.

Festival chairman Maurice Seezer described the line-up of films as “really exciting” and said the Corona/Mexican connection was being strengthened with the introduction of a selection of Mexican short films produced by IMCINE, The Mexican Film Institute.
