Solas - Skerries Film Festival

This film festival is launching on midsummer day, Saturday June 21st 2008 at The Sailing Club in Skerries harbour. This year it's a one-day party to put the festival on the map but will become a major four-day event planned around mid-summer every year.

Celebrating the best of Irish and international cinema, Solas aims to be a meeting point for filmmakers and film lovers alike and will have at its heart a short film competition for student and graduate filmmakers sponsored by Ardmore Sound. The best short film will receive a day's professional sound production in Ardmore Sound in Wicklow - a prize worth more than €2,000. For more information visit www.solasfilmfestival.com
