Fastnet

Our Director Mariana Conde and Casting Director Louisa Andrea traveled to idilic Schull in West Cork Ireland, to represent C.T.R.L at the Fastnet Short Film Festival. The festival was immense and the Best Arthouse Nomination, a very welcome plus!

Fastnet is a very unique festival. It screens each short film several times a day in different venues all around Schull. Wherever you walk into, be it a café, pub, or even someone’s house, the chances are, you’re in the right place to catch a few films. Even when there isn’t a big screen nearby, you can login to the festival’s intranet and watch a film on your mobile or iPad.

Alongside the competing shorts, Fastnet also programmes guest features, presented by the filmmakers and followed by a Q&A. There are also plenty of talks, workshops and… parties.

It’s totally worth it.

Have a sneak-peek at Mariana and Louisa’s adventures in Schull:
