makers of some inspiring documentary films. i seen middle of the moment at guth gafa and talked with werner (one of the directors) about capturing life on film.

What? It's not been stumbled before? I guess that means I got to go through my bookmarks and give some well deserved mentoins to events like this.

This year was it's third year and I am just back from there where I talked about the Tara project at a seminar. Anyways, the festival was fantastic and I will try my best be there again next year.

Here's some info from the site..


"The aims and objectives of the festival are to bring to the Donegal Gaeltacht, documentary films made to the highest international standards, including in the Irish language; to promote the use of Irish in the documentary film industry by developing a festival that operates through Irish and that is Gaeltacht based; to attract internationally renowned film directors to Ireland and to introduce them to a national and local audience; to contribute to the local economy by bringing in a significant number of international visitors and by attracting a large local and national audience to festival events; to stimulate the development of best international practice in documentary film making by providing a forum for screening, discussions and masterclasses; to specifically target selected audiences ranging from local community groups, schools, third level colleges, producers, directors, broadcasters and distributors, and to bring them together in the intimate setting of the Donegal Gaeltacht.."

The hugely talented Johan Söderberg. Director & Editor extraordinaire!

inspirational work such as..

Lucky People Center
The Voice
Read My Lips

Atmo make great moving images.. the "Read my Lips" videos are cool but a classic is The Voice.. not availble on the site.. but see ... it here

Oliver's Stone's 'W' is to be made at a rapid pace...
ABC had a look at the screenplay. Should be interesting.

From the page: "Bush's early relationship with his father is depicted as problematic at best. When his father confronts him about his drinking after he crashes his car, the younger George Bush replies: "Mr Perfect. Mr War Hero. Mr Fucking God Almighty." The father also features heavily in the latter half of the screenplay, by which time Dubya has entered the world of politics."

this looks like a great film.

a surreal and strange little short..
