Melbourne short wins Irish Film Festival award
[Wed 15/09/2010 01:40:42]
Press release from Chris Tomkins
Melbourne short film ‘Rain For Morgan’ has been awarded the ‘Best International Short under 50 minutes’ prize at the 2010 International Film Festival of Ireland.
The award ceremony took place on Saturday night in Tipperary after a week of screenings of over 300 films from all over the world.
Based on the Celtic myth ‘Johnny Croy and the Mermaid’ and set in post World War II drought-stricken Australia, ‘Rain for Morgan’ was produced and directed by Melbourne filmmaker, Marisa Brown.
On receiving the award, Brown commented that presenting a Celtic myth retold in an Australian setting to a Irish audience was a nerve-wracking experience.
Festival director Will Nugent, described the film as “a beautiful piece of cinema.”
‘Rain For Morgan’ was shot near Shepparton, the home town of the film’s writer/lead actress, Fleur Murphy, and stars Erin Dewar, Geordie Taylor and Chris Saxton.
The film made its Irish debut on Friday evening following screenings in Ohio (USA) and Wales and is soon to be screened in Los Angeles, Egypt and South Africa.
