Give Me Direction



I've just signed up for the Give Me Direction screenwriting conference that will be held as part of the Jameson Dublin Film Festival next month.

The mail-out from IPSG states:

Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board (IFB) in partnership with the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival (JDIFF) have announced a new screenwriting conference entitled Give Me Direction.

Attended by a mix of Irish and international guests, Give Me Direction will be an opportunity to champion great and original writing for the screen and to deepen the IFB's engagement in addressing industry concerns. The conference will follow an informal, mixed format of sessions and interviews: plus a rehearsed read-through and a preview screening.

Confirmed Guests:

  • Shane Black (Lethal Weapon)
  • Shane Meadows and Paul Fraser (A Room for Romeo Brass, SomersTown)
  • Eran Kolirin (The Band's Visit)
  • Conor McPherson (The Eclipse)

More guests and further details on the sessions will be announced shortly

Its on 4th and 5th of June at the Lighthouse Cinema and the Chester Beatty Library.
Fingers crossed there will be more guests of note announced, but looking forward to this.

Oh, and it 40 bats...
