SHORTS PROGRAMME

Irish shorts exploring power, place and belonging. From asylum seekers in Dublin to farmers fighting to hold onto the land, Roma families reclaiming space in Donegal to an intergenerational South Armagh reflection on conflict and memory, a drag artist seeks acceptance and a haunting oceanic reckoning with history. Selected from the 2025 Galway Film Fleadh Shorts Programme, curated by Holly Buckley: The New Policy Regarding Homeless Asylum Seekers (Dennis Harvey); Hole in the Stone (Holly Marie Parnell); Anziety (David O’ Carroll); Aggregat (MJ Whelan); Sam Rom (Katie-Ruby McLaughlin Robinson); Dragon’s Teeth (Lennart Soberon).
