About the screenings:

Screening at 7:00pm

"Heroes" - Festival alumni and contributors from past editions get together to think of the artists who inspire them most from any field (recent curators were record label skinny wolves) and invite them to curate a session in the festival.

DC "hero" is - David O'Reilly, a Berlin-based animator whose talents cannot be confined to a mere biography. David has declared his film line up - named MIXTAPE OF DOOM - top secret and has forbidden Solas Nua from releasing the details but we can tell you that it will be a collection of logic bending neuro-masochistic short films from the past, present and future.

Screening at 9:00pm

"State of the Nation" - Darklight festival's artistic director, Nicky Gogan, has hand picked 15 short films (some music video's and excerpts) that she thinks reflects ireland's current social climate as well as the state of independent Irish film-making today. in an interactive session that will include input from fellow producer and director, Paul Rowley, as well as a live video link up with irish guerrilla musician (and director of the entry nun's fight club), Declan de Barra, Nicky will lead us through her perspective on what constitutes the definition of irish cinema and where its future lies.
