SKIRMISH (Dir: Julia Wysocka)
When Annie decides to attend a western-themed night at her local bar - knowing her ex-girlfriend Clara will be there, the evening takes an unexpected turn.

THE PURSUIT OF FORGIVENESS (Dir: Thomas McQuillan)
Liam, a struggling addict, who is battling with his past mistakes tries to attempt to reconnect with his estranged daughter, Claire. As he fights to prove he has changed, Claire must decide whether she can let go of the hurt he caused and allow him back into her life.

NAY DAY (Dir: Derek Ugochukwu)
A teenage tiktoker tells the story of her hectic life and aspirations while walking her dog against the backdrop of a menacing industrial landscape.

MAGPIE (Dir: Corey Millar)
Magpie is a poetic and visually-driven short film that follows a young man on what should be one of the most significant days of his life. Inspired by the eerie cadence of the nursery rhyme “One for Sorrow,” the film unfolds as a symbolic journey through a single morning in Belfast.

SNOT ROCKET (Dir: Sean Gormley)
Two Irish immigrants in Berlin plan a robbery on an old bookstore as "That is where all the money is these days"!

FOR THOSE WHO FEEL HUNTED (Dir: Nicky O'Callaghan)
In a fractured, dreamlike landscape, two seemingly disconnected worlds unfold: one, a tender yet uneasy relationship; the other, the rise of a messianic revolutionary leader. An experimental meditation on power, exploitation, and the masks we wear whether in love, war, or ideology.

RIGHTING WRONGS (Dir: Ciaran Connolly)
Two estranged brothers reconnect and discuss a traumatic event from their childhood. Their opposing views on how it should be dealt with lead to a heated stalemate.

TABLE TALK (Dir: Jack Dunlop)
A couple argue over one simple question: what time to leave for the airport. What begins as a practical disagreement quickly exposes deeper anxieties, power dynamics and unspoken resentments.
