It’s that time of year again when the seaside village of Gortahork in the heart of the Donegal Gaeltacht turns into a film Mecca for the Guth Gafa International Documentary Film Festival (11th to 13th June). Having been lucky enough to have worked at Guth Gafa for the last four years (The Octonauts and Olivia the Pig stole me this year!), I have watched it grow from humble roots to one of the main film events in the Irish calendar.
This year, in addition to the documentaries, Guth Gafa are screening a series of short animations as part of their special family programmes: Tricks for Kids. Presented by Heinz Hermanns (the man behind Interfilm Berlin’s “Going Underground Festival’ held in the trains of the Berlin subway), Tricks for Kids will be showing a series of short animations told through different animation techniques.
