Northern Ireland will be seeing the arrival of its first independent film festival in August of 2009 when award winning film makers, YELLOW FEVER PRODUCTIONS, take on the challenge of playing host to local film making talent and other artists from around the country and the world. The festival will show case a large range of films over the two day event and bring local business together with a selection of stalls and workshops. The main aim of the festival is to expose new talent and give people a chance to show off their work to the public in a way that would have been otherwise unavailable before. Yellow Fever is a film company like no other in that we look for the people with spark, imagination and a passion for film making who either haven’t had the opportunity to gain the qualifications or experience needed to work in film, or have simply never been given the chance to just go for it. We believe the old cliché that ‘if you haven’t got experience we can’t give it to you,’ shouldn’t stop people from living their dreams.
The festival will feature 20 stalls from local businesses, Q & A’s with special guests, refreshments, a tattoo room (bringing 5 of the countries top tattoo artists together) and around 20 films (shorts and full length features) including the world premier of YELLOW FEVER PRODUCTIONS’ latest film and an award ceremony to close off the event.
There will be eight awards up for grabs including Best Film, Best Actor and Actress and the Audience Choice award. The event is sponsored by arts website; Culture NI, Video Monkeys and the prestigious Stormont Hotel, who have offered a reduced room rate for festival goers over the weekend of August 22nd and 23rd.
