It has only been 4 years since she took her first steps in Limerick but it is still the most remembered weekend of the City of Culture 2014. It would be great to have the Royal de Luxe team back. Cheers again to Zeb Moore on giving his time back then for this short doc.

The Radharc Awards were established in 2002 to honour the memory of Fr Joe Dunn and Radharc’s achievements in religious affairs programmes for Irish television from 1962 to 1997, and to encourage similar quality documentary production amongst filmmakers in Ireland today.
Awards are presented every two years to the producers of documentaries for Television and Digital Media which are of outstanding quality and that address national or international topics of social justice, history, morality and faith.
The producer of the winning production for Television will receive the bronze Radharc trophy.
The winner of the documentary for Digital Media will receive a signed decorative scroll. Further decorative scrolls may be awarded for productions that are highly commended
Category One: An award for documentaries broadcast in the qualifying period on any free to air channel on the island of Ireland.
Category Two: An award for non-broadcast documentaries produced during the same period for digital media.
It is this category (2) that should interest to third level students which is for non- televised films in the ethos of Radharc films of old and which can be of any length from 5 minutes upwards.

Screen Training Ireland are delighted to partner with High Res in association with disguise to host the first ‘D3 Fundamental & Advanced Training Course’ in Ireland, which will take place in Dublin at the end of July. The course will be led by Chris Simcock, an official D3 disguise trainer, who has tailored this course to suit the demands of the current film & television industry.
D3 is a state of the art media server. It is one of the first servers to have the capability to output 10 bit processing depth and is quickly becoming the primary media server platform for live and broadcast environments. The D3’s cutting edge technology can manage and synchronise a variety of different output sources, from LED screens, to projection systems, as well as tracking realtime data from systems like scenery motion control, making it a powerful collaborative tool in helping creative production teams realise their vision.
The course will run over 3 days from Tuesday 24th to Thursday the 26th of July 2018.
