And now the winners:
The Grand Jury's New Talent Award: 'Under the Sky' by Christopher Stoeckle.

The festival had a pretty good day on Friday when we featured on the second page of the Irish Times's ‘The Ticket’, in a feature written by Donald Clarke. We are also lucky enough to have Mr Clarke, as well as fellow Irish Times film critic, former Jameson's Dublin Festival Jury member, and president of The Dublin Film Critics Circle Tara Brady on the jury for our very own New Talent Award 2013.

Good news keep on coming in!
We are thrilled to announce that one of this year's guest speakers will be Estonian animator Priit Pärn, who is one of the world's leading experimental animators with over 30 years of industry experience. He is the director of such widely acclaimed films such as 'Breakfast on the Grass', '1895' and 'Night of the Carrots'. He is visiting Ireland especially for us, and it is a truly unique opportunity for all to hear about his work and artistic development!
