Junior Galway Film Fleadh 12th – 15th November 2014

IntroductionThis year the Junior Galway Film Fleadh celebrates 20 years of entertaining and educating young

people through the power of film. Like our big sister festival, the Galway Film Fleadh, the JGFF is

a festival for discovering new talent – if you flip to the middle of this brochure you will find short

films from young filmmakers all over Ireland. Films that are funny, poignant and visually captivating.

Films that make a farce of, and pay homage to, the directors whose shoes young Irish filmmakers

will one day fill. We are glad to present them here, alongside exciting new films from around the

world, and professional filmmaking workshops, to educate and help you become even better!

See you at the movies!

Gearrscannáin

p

s

Rogha de ghearrscannáin comhaimseartha ina bhfuil an Ghaeilge

á úsáid mar theanga bheo bhríomhar, ata an oiriúnach chun

téamaí agus mórcheisteanna a bhaineanna le daoine óga a phlé.

TORTHAÍ NA DAOIRSE Stiúrthóir Sinéad O’Brien | 52 nóiméad

Ar an 19ú Iúil, 1984, dhiúltaigh Mary Manning, bean óg 21 bliain

d’aois a bhí ag obair ag an gcúntar íocaíochta i Dunnes Stores

ar shráid Anraí, dhá sheadóg Outspan a dhíol. Bhí sí ag leanacht

treoir óna ceardchumann a bhí ag tacú leis an bhfeachtas

frithchinedheighilte. Cuireadh Mary agus deichniúr oibrí eile a

sheas an fód léi ar fionraí láithreach agus as sin, tháinig stailc.

Ní mórán cur amach a bhí ag éinne acu ar chinedheighilt

agus shíl siad féin go mbeadh siad in ann filleadh ar an obair

laistigh de chúpla lá.

Is beag a bhí a fhios acu go raibh a seasamh le hathrú mór a

chur ar an ngluaiseacht dhomhanda in aghaidh na cinedheighilte.

AN CAT Stiúrthóir Helen Flanagan | 13 nóiméad

Tá fear faoi bhrón ciaptha ag peata cait a bhean chéile nach maireann.

CÉAD GRÁ Stiúrthóir Brian Deane | 11 nóiméad

Tá cloiste ag dlúthchairde Colm agus Donal gur “maith” leis an

gcailín is gleoite ina mbunscoil iad. Ach ní leor seo do Dhonal – tá

seisean ag iarraidh fáil amach cé hé an duine is fearr léi.

Clár for-rochtana Gearrscannán i gcomhar le Foras na Gaeilge

Chomh maith le gearrscannáin i nGaeilge a thaispeáint, tá lúchair

orainn ceardlanna a thairscint a thabharfaidh na scannáin seo

amach as an bpictiúrlann agus isteach sa seomra ranga. Ag usáid

na Gearrscannáin mar bhunábhar, pléfidh lucht déanta scannáin

na téamaí agus mórcheisteanna a léirítear sna scannáin leis na

micléinn sa rang. Is í an aidhm atá ag na ceardlanna seo ná líofacht

Ghaeilge na macléinn a neartú trí díospóireachtaí a éascú ar bhealach

praicticiúil faoi leith a chuideoidh leo ullmhú don Ardteist 2015.

Mission: Sputnik

Nov. 9, 1989, the day the Berlin Wall came down. A 10-year-old girl and her friends attempt to use

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall – a monumental day in history that

led to Germany’s reunification.

“As a nation we have pushed a

significant number of our young

people to the very edges of society

and created within them feelings of

neglect and apathy. It is now time

to empower our young people and

give them a sense of belonging”

Joe Caslin, Our Nation’s Sons

Cinema has the power to engage us all on both a personal and a public level, to transport us from

a closed off, interior space to one of relatability and open discourse, and so the Junior Galway Film

Fleadh is proud to bring you the following film presentations, introduced by the filmmakers:

OUR NATION’S SONS Director Robert Hallinan Flood | 3 mins

A drawing has the power to go further than words. But the twenty meter long drawing installed in

Galway at the Spanish Arch has the potential to resonate and disrupt the visual landscape of the city.

It has the power to pull a passer-by from the mundane, the power to trend and the power to gain real

social momentum, to showcase the capabilities of our nation’s sons.

I USED TO LIVE HERE Director Frank Berry | 82 mins

Amy Keane, a thirteen-year old trying to cope with the death of her mother and the reappearance of her

father’s ex-girlfriend, experiences the temptation of suicide after witnessing the outpouring of love for

a local suicide victim. I Used to Live Here takes a fictional look at how the idea of suicide can spread in

communities, particularly among young people. Featuring performances from a mostly non-professional

cast, and filmed on the streets of Tallaght in West Dublin, this film offers a striking dramatic

representation of a real-life community on screen. From the director of the award-winning Ballymun

Lullaby and researched with the assistance of Headstrong, the National Centre for Youth Mental Health.

These films will be followed by a discussion with the filmmakers and chaired by Jigsaw Galway, which

will give our audience a chance to have their say on the issues raised in the films and suggest ways

they can help to make a difference.

FROZEN Sing-a-long

Fearless optimist Anna (voice of Kristen Bell) sets off on an epic journey – teaming up with rugged

mountain man Kristoff (voice of Jonathan Groff) and his loyal reindeer Sven – to find her sister Elsa

(voice of Idina Menzel), whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom of Arendelle in eternal winter.

The fifth highest-grossing film of all time worldwide and the highest-grossing animated film

of all time, FROZEN is nothing short of a phenomenon. Attracting universal critical acclaim for its

visuals, themes, musical numbers, screenplay and voice acting, FROZEN became an instant classic

with fans around the world.

We invite everyone to come dressed as their favourite character from FROZEN – or any Disney

character! – and sing their heart out! FROZEN Sing-a-long presents the lyrics on the screen,

so don’t be shy, just Let It Go!

We are delighted to present this very special sing-a-long version of FROZEN,

with prizes for the best dressed characters and singers!
