A wonderful
showcase of films and events have been lined up including drama, documentary,
comedy, animation, horror and artistic/experimental films made by local,
national and international young filmmakers under 21 who submitted their films
in response to an Open Call.






Due
to the overwhelming number of entries this year, a selection of twenty eight
films was made with great difficulty by professional filmmakers from Cork 
Film Centre.


The
films are of a high standard and we think you will really enjoy them!


This
is a great opportunity for young filmmakers to showcase their work, We are
delighted to bring together young filmmakers, film buffs and professional
filmmakers to share their ideas and knowledge.


Feature
Films at the Festival include Award Winning My
Brothers, ( Will Collins, Timmy
Creed& Niall Owen will take part in a panel discussion/Q&A Session) 
and Disco Pigs,(Cillian Murphy, Kirsten
Sheridan), both films have strong Cork 
connections.





International feature films
include 
Project Nim,( From the team behind Man on Wire comes the story of Nim, the chimpanzee
who in the 1970s became the focus of a landmark experiment which aimed to show
that an ape could learn to communicate with language if raised and nurtured
like a human child.)
  and The Illusionist, (a stunning animated
film).





Workshops


Pascal Scott, well known actor, Kilnascully fame, & Patrick O Shea, Glounthaune Filmmaker
are giving an Acting for Screen
Workshop on Sunday morning.


This should be
great fun & opportunity to learn from the professionals.


Also Animation Workshop for young filmmakers from Jane Lee, 1
1/2 hours, on Saturday 1st.


Both take place
in Glanmire Community College.




Funding/
Sponsers: This is a non profit event, with funding from The Arts Council, Cork County Council Arts Office & SECAD.


The Festival has
been generously by SuperValu Glanmire.


The Film Project
Nim is sponsored by Monkey Maze, Glanmire.


It features
films made by young people for everyone.





“As I reflect over the past year I can see that First Cut!
Film Project& Festival has really come into its own: short films have never
been more popular, we have never showcased so many films and the quality is
really good. Film is a powerful tool of communication and imagination, and
young people really make their own of it. We think you will be inspired by the
shorts made by young people and equally by the award winning features we have
chosen for this Festival.” Mary Mc Grath, First Cut! Festival 2011
