t The Junior Galway Film Fleadh has come of age. For more than two decades we have endeavored

to provide young people with not only an understanding of cinema but a sense of how it can

communicate and challenge complex and important concepts. Above all else, however, we wanted to

capture something of the magic and wonder that cinema can inspire in all of us, children and adults

alike, through a programme that entertains, engages, educates and enchants.

21 years on and we’re a little bit older, wiser and more mature but, like most 21 year olds, that doesn’t

mean we’ve grown up. If anything we have more of a youthful energy. This is in large part due to our Youth

Council whose zest, passion and love of cinema keep us focused on what’s important: The Future.

Our audience and the filmmakers in our shorts programme represent the future of filmmaking

and, when they in turn come of age, we will be proud to have been there at the start. So join us as

we present a showcase of the best work for, from and about young people, alongside workshops,

screenings and events that celebrate the Future of Film.

15AGirlhood F

Mariame (an incendiary, star-making performance from Karidja

Touré) is a shy 16-year-old who lives with her mostly absent

mother, a domineering older brother, and two younger sisters

whom she takes the burden of caring for. Left behind at high

school where she’s told her grades are too poor to continue,

Mariame is soon lured out of her shell by three vivacious

neighborhood teens. Enthralled by their bravado and brash

energy, Mariame quickly adopts their flashier look and adapts to

their bolder and often reckless behavior, making both foolish and

brave choices as she struggles towards independence.

Depicting a side of Paris rarely explored on screen, Girlhood

finds irresistible energy in these young characters for whom

attitude is everything. Featuring sumptuous cinematography

and a jubilant soundtrack, the film builds momentum with every

scene, and exudes life from every frame.

Landfill Harmonic follows the Recycled Orchestra of Cateura, a

Paraguayan musical youth group of kids that live next to one of

South America’s largest landfills. This unlikely orchestra plays

music on instruments made entirely out of recycled rubbish.

When their story goes viral, the orchestra is catapulted into the

global spotlight. With the guidance of their music director, they

must navigate this new world of arenas and sold out concerts.

However, when a natural disaster devastates their community,

the orchestra provides a source of hope for the town. The film is a

testament to the transformative power of music and the resilience

of the human spirit.

Award winner at SxSW Film Festival and Sheffield International Documentary Film Festival.

STwenty-four students, twenty-four nationalities, one classroom.

Hailing from Ireland, Senegal, Brazil, Morocco, Chinese and more

these students are between eleven and fifteen years old and

have just arrived in France. For a year they will be together in the

same ‘reception class’ of a Parisian secondary school, under the

supervision of their inspirational teacher. In this multicultural

arena, we see the innocence, the enthusiasm and inner turmoil of

these teenagers who must face the challenges of beginning a new

life, learning a new language and adapting to a different culture.

In doing so they challenge our preconceived notions and give us

hope for a better world and a better future.

15A13 Minutes

The director of Downfall returns with this drama, based on true

events, about Carpenter Georg Elser who tried to assassinate

Der Fuhrer as he was addressing a Nazi Party meeting. The

film depicts some scenes of torture and violence as Elser is

interrogated as well as presenting his motivation. Its English title

– 13 Minutes – comes from the mistiming of an explosive device

that would have undoubtedly changed history if its detonation

had been accurate.
