Special Screening – The Missing Scarf
Posted: December 21, 2013 in Film, live EventTags: Eoin Duffy, George Takei, Jamie Hogan, Limerick Film Festival, The Missing Scarf
We are delighted to announce that the Oscar Qualifier Short Film, The Missing Scarf, will have a premier special screening at the 5th Limerick Film Festival in April 2014.
Albert the Squirrel makes a startling discovery … an empty space where once his favourite scarf lay. He heads off into the forest only to find everyone else is preoccupied with worries of their own. He helps who he can before moving on but never seems to get any closer to his goal. Ultimately, Albert’s problem is put in perspective by the friends he helped and the problems they faced and overcame together.
Eoin Duffy, (Dir.), George Takei (nar.) & Jamie Hogan (Prod.)
Directed by Eoin Duffy, Produced by Jamie Hogan and Narrated by George Takei, The Missing Scarf has won awards at numourous festivals including: Galway International Film Fleadh,Los Angeles International Short Film Festival and New Hampshire Film Festival.
My first short-film, On Departure, and then The Missing Scarf were created back to back. Both were centred around the same event, a recent death in my family. The first was an emotional display of the event; while the second The Missing Scarf dealt with the aftermath. Primarily the seemingly amplification of everyday fears – fear of the unknown, failure, rejection and finally death. The film’s script mirrors my internal debate on the subject – comparing the pros and cons of each, allowing the audience to draw their own conclusions.

Along with the screening and subject to availability, a special Q&A session with the Producer Jamie Hogan will also take place.
Jamie is a communication designer based out of Ireland. In addition to design he has also worked in the audio industry with recording and music production. He now contributes as a freelance storyboard designer, concept developer, script writer/editor and producer in the advertising and marketing industry. The Missing Scarf is Jamie’s first animated short where he has taken on the role of producer.

Article in Tuesdays (5 Nov) Limerick Chronicle
- by Alan Owens
The LIT Film Festival will return for a fifth year in April 2014, except now styled as the Limerick Film Festival.
The three day event has grown in size and reputation over the last number of years and, fittingly ahead of Limerick’s stint as national City of Culture next year, aims to attract hundreds of film makers and visitors from across Ireland to the city for the high profile event.
“We are excited to be bringing the art of film, professional film makers, actors, producers, directors and many more to the city for the three day event,” explained the founder of the festival, Simon McGuire, video lecturer and course coordinator in LIT.
“With the new changes planned and a new focus on expanding the festival in and around the city, the Limerick Film Festival will be giving the film making talent of Limerick a chance to shine and show off their skills to a wider audience,” he added.
The popular short film competition will also return, and Mr McGuire said that entry forms and competition details can be found on the festival’s website.
Planning for the festival is well underway and “high calibre” workshops will be again on offer to interested parties.
Previous speakers at the festival have included Pat Shortt and respected Irish film producer Lelia Doolan.
Full details of the festival will be announced next year, but for more information see http://www.limerickfilmfestival.net.
