This programme of short films celebrates the ten-year anniversary
of the film and video course at St. John's College. The establishment
of the course has given opportunity to aspiring local filmmakers
and contributed enormously to the film culture of Cork. The desire
to tell a good story, develop challenging visuals and engage the
audience has been a key ambition set by the course directors. The
following programme is a selection of productions which indicate
the range of achievements in that period.
We look forward to the next ten years!
