Bhí gearrscannáin Ghaeilge i measc
na scannán is fearr a taispeánadh
ag Féile Scannán Chorcaí
le blianta anuas. Go deimhin, is é an seod
Yu Ming Is Ainm Dom a bhuaigh Gradam an Lucht
Féachana an bhliain seo caite. Is ceart,
le tacaíocht Ghael Linn, go mbeidh gradam
speisialta ann le feabhas na ngearrscannán
Gaeilge a aithint agus a cheiliúradh. Leis
an gradam úr seo a sheoladh, cuirimid i
láthair clár de thogha agus rogha
na nGearrscannán Gaeilge. Togha agus Rogha
na nGearrscannán Gaeilge

Some of the best shorts screened at Cork Film
Festival in recent years have been in the Irish
language. Indeed our Audience Award for Best Irish
Short last year went to the wonderful Yu Ming
Is Ainm Dom. It is fitting therefore that, with
the support and encouragement of Gael Linn, we
introduce a special award to reward and celebrate
excellence in Irish-language short films, Gradam
Gael Linn. To mark the introduction of this new
award we present a programme of great Irish-language
shorts.
All films are subtitled in English

Lipservice
|
|
Paul Mercier
Ireland | 1998 | 18mins | 35mm | Colour
Lá Bhéalscrúdú na
Gaeilge i bpobalscoil i dtuaisceart Bhaile Átha
Cliath. Lá aisteach mar go bhfuil gach
duine 'ag labhairt na Gaeilge' ach tá focail
agus daoine ar iarraidh! Cén Ghaeilge ar
'stressed out'?
Lipservice is set on the day of the Oral Irish
exam in a north Dublin community school. It is
a bizarre day when everyone is speaking a language
they don't communicate in. Students are learning
Irish phrases by the dozen hoping that some of
it will make sense - what's 'stressed out' in
Irish?
