Limerick City of Culture 2014 580x232

Hi all

Before we forget… we are going to be making some exciting changes for the 5th year of the festival.

Namely (pardon the pun) we are changing the name. From today we are working on the challenge of changing from the LIT Film Festival to the Limerick Film Festival.

This change is in line with our plans to promote Limerick during next year’s title of City of Culture 2014.

The festival will still be at the heart of LIT and the colleges calendar and with these changes to come the festival will grow and mature to attract more film makers, locally, nationally and internationally.

We hope you all support us during and after the changes are made and we will certainly keep you updated.

The new address for this website is www.limerickfilmfestival.net

Thanks for all the support so far and we look forward to working with you all in the future.

Simon.

Limerick Film Festival Director.

There was a wide diverse of winners last night including the Best Camera award by one of my students, Stephen Hall for his film Upgrade. Well done to him.

Onwards now and there are several editing projects to complete before we work on the next short film.

The weather just held off for myself and the other photographers yesterday for the St.Patricks Day festival in Limerick. Massive numbers marching again this year proving that Limerick certainly has a lot of community spirit. Non more so than in the great effort from local schools and colleges and community groups in breaking the world record for the most St.Patricks at a festival… (287 I think)
Well done to everyone on the day.

Was filming for the Limerick Communications Office and will be in town again today for the International Band Parade.. A favourite of mine.

What was received as a brilliant insight to the recent scandal with Lance Armstrong, the Whistleblowers event took place in the Lime Tree Theatre at Mary Immaculate College last night (Monday 24th Feb). With Paul Kimmage and David Walsh in attendance along with host, Limerick Leader Editor, Alan English; the audience were treated to an evening of discussion and debate along with video clip montages to bring everything together and in context.

Was delighted to be involved working with Alan on editing these clips and making sure that they added to the overall theme and tone of the evening.

Well done to all involved.
