Pupils in search of short film glory

One of the smallest national schools in Ireland is vying for a prize at a prestigious international film festival.

A short film on the recession produced by the 21 pupils of Cappabue NS, Kealkil, near Bantry, has been chosen to be screened next week at the REC for Kids film festival in Berlin.

Principal Norma Healy said there was great excitement in Cappabue ahead of the screening which will take place next Thursday.
