We are thrilled to be partnering with the Catalyst International Film Festival for this event to discuss the importance of the short film script as a calling card and how writers can break through into longer forms.

Putting the Screenwriter into the Picture Panel features Jennifer Davidson Chair WGI (Fair City; Waiting for Tom), Ursula Rani Sarma Screenwriter/ Playwright (Smother; Bodkin) Carl Austin Screenwriter (Operation Cobra; Fair City), Aisling Walsh Screenwriter/ Director (Song for a Raggy Boy; Maudie; Elizabeth is Missing), Robert Higgins Screen- writer, director, producer (Lakeland; Angels Guard Thee).

Catalyst International Film Festival presents a film programme that prioritises stories and storytellers currently under-represented on screen and behind the camera. We want to create a more inclusive industry and films screened here will promote gender equality, diversity and inclusion whether in content, key creative roles or crew.

The session will also introduce the 5 selected finalists in the festival’s Short Screenplay Award, 2023.

Catalyst International Film Festival takes place 30th March to 1st April, Limerick City.
