EMERGING Limerick Filmmakers won Best Group for Rat King by RóisÃn
Leavy-Sahin at the Fresh International Film Festival.
The Limerick group were among 17 award recipients at the 2024 IYFTYs,
which were hosted by Faye Shortt and Gemma Bradley.
The awards are available to view on the RTÉ Player. All 42 short-listed
films, made by young people, for young people, can be viewed on the
Fresh International Film Festival YouTube Channel.
Rat King is a film about a young boy who falls in love with a dead rat.
It begins to rot him, setting off a frenzy in his village with
disastrous consequences.
Fresh International Film Festival, and the IYFTY’s, encourage young
people to explore filmmaking as a career, learning the art of visual
storytelling, understanding the filmmaking process from first draft to
final frame, and the sustainable career opportunities that exist both
in front of and behind the camera, inspiring and building Ireland’s
future film, television and digital talent-pool.
The IYFTYs shortlist is a rich collection that showcases the
imagination, creativity and skills of the world’s future storytellers,
and interest in the festival from 82 countries is a reflection of
Ireland’s ascendancy as a global hub for film, television, digital and
creative industries.
