Synopse
Fresh Horizons represents the changing face of young filmmaking in Ireland, showcasing the talent and innovation of a new generation of filmmakers aged 16 to 19. Now in its 28th year, the Fresh International Film Festival has witnessed a dynamic shift in both technical advancements and societal changes, and this collection reflects the zeitgeist of contemporary Ireland.
The films within «Fresh Horizons» serve as a mirror to the multifaceted perspectives of young Irish creatives, exploring diverse themes that resonate with their experiences and aspirations. These films provide audiences with an intimate look into their lives, ideas, and the issues that matter to them.This programme serves as a bridge between tradition and innovation, it explores Irish identity and at the same time it pushes boundaries.
The young filmmakers featured in this programme bring fresh perspectives and unique voices, creating a narrative that goes beyond traditional storytelling. They provide audiences with an immersive experience, allowing them to see the world through the eyes of young Irish people.
This collection of films is a journey through the minds of a generation that is unafraid to challenge norms, question conventions, and tell stories that resonate with authenticity.

However, the work not only reflects the present but also serves as a time capsule for future generations, providing a glimpse into the dreams, concerns, and creativity of young filmmakers who are shaping the cinematic landscape of Ireland and beyond.
