MY BATTLE WITH BLUE

Director: Abbi Henderson
My Battle with Blue is the story of Luna, a young woman who has a tantalising addiction to the colour blue. So much so that she hasn’t left her home in months out of fear of the other colours in the real world. That is until her boyfriend Reggie convinces her to go to the place, she’s been dreaming of going for so long: the ocean.

STARDOG

Director: Chloe Forde
Stella is an astronaut. Stella is also a dog. These things cannot, and should not, go together. When Stella’s ship (which isn’t actually hers) crash lands on an unknown, desolate planet, she makes it out unscathed, as per cartoon logic, but she is left stranded. Journeying across the wastelands, Stella finds another ship and must ‘liberate’ it from its owner to continue her voyage through the stars.

HEARTLESS

Director: Eóin Harrison
A caricature artist is approached by a strange man, who insists that he tell her the story of his dying mother, her family home and a supernatural occurrence. Upon hearing his ghostly tale, she must decide whether or not to do one small favour for him.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT TENNIS

Director: Erin Geraghty
After dropping out of her dream college course, budding musician Alice joins a local tennis club to try escape a creative rut.

NORTH STAR

Director: Fiachra Cotter O’Culachain
In this a heartfelt coming-of-age drama, 19-year-old Réaltín must navigate love, loss, and self-discovery. As a young child raised by her grandfather, she learns about the symbolic importance of the North Star as a constant guide. As Réaltín grows up, she must rediscover her inner strength and find guidance in the memory of her grandfather and the North Star to regain hope and purpose.

THE GOOD LIST

Director: Mia Donnelly
Fuelled by an unwavering belief in the magic of Christmas, a grown man confronts his office’s Santa Claus actor in an attempt to get himself back onto the good list so that he can receive presents again.

MY WAY

Director: Olivia Curto
In this modern fairytale, a 9-year-old girl with dyscalculia, desperate for her father’s approval, discovers the secret patterns of math in nature. Her new perspective challenges everything she’s been taught, proving success is about more than numbers – it’s about seeing the world in your own way.

AN SPIOTHÓG

Director: William Mulligan
A nonverbal girl is about to start school, and in a desperate last attempt to get her to speak, her parents send her to spend a few days with her grandfather, who only speaks Irish. At first daunted and nervous, Éabha connects with her grandfather and with the natural world around her, and succeeds in finding her true voice.
