Category Rules

Filmmakers in the ArtHouse (Over 18) category must be over 18 on the final date of late accepted entries, 14th February 2016.

Your film MUST be uploaded to our Technical Director, Martin Levis for judging. It is also very important to upload your press-kit to WAB, with photos and information, as we try to choose the festival's poster and programme image from the competition films' artwork, with the filmmaker's permission. Please include a short synopsis of your film (between 10-15 words ONLY) for use in our programme.

We will contact filmmakers whose films have been selected for viewing at our festival before 30th April 2016.

Please ENSURE you fill in a full postal address. We don't want to have to guess what country you are from!

Filmmakers who enter their film into the "ArtHouse" category and have their film selected are automatically entered into the Best of Festival International competition, which carries a prize of € 2,000.

If the director of the film is Irish, or if the film was shot in Ireland with an Irish production company, the film will be considered for the Best Irish Short Film prize, which also carries a prize of €1,250.

Please make sure you tell us if your film was either Shot, Written or Produced in CORK.
