Dark Hedges Short Film Competition

Join the Dark Hedges Film Festival at Accidental in Belfast as they showcase the 20 finalists for this year’s short film competition.

They’ll be screening both the Irish and International finalists on one night, starting with the Irish entries from 7pm, then the international selection (9:30pm). There’ll be a short interval between the two showcases.

Audience members will be asked to vote for their favourites (Irish/International) on the night with a Grand jury prize also available in both categories.

There’s also the ‘First Blood’  & ‘Bloody Women’ awards  up for grabs as they celebrate first-time filmmakers and female directors respectively.

The venue is BYOB so come on down and enjoy an eclectic mix of shorts made by filmmakers from around the world.
