aspects. This year we bring you the opportunity to experience
High Definition Workshops,Writing for the Screen and we will
discuss Kerry as a film location and launch the Kerry Screen

the industry has to offer. B+ will fly in from L.A. and introduce
his very own, Keepen' time: A Musical Journey’. We bring
you the Ramones: End of the Century in the sublime venue, St.
John's Arts Centre. Festival Express, featuring The Grateful
Dead, Janis Joplin and The Band will play in our successful
Polytunnel on Gortbrack Farm. Also in documentary we bring you

Our awards are brought to you by Ardmore Studios and are made
possible by Kevin Moriarty’s belief in the Kerry Film
Festival. Kevin has been a strong supporter of the festival
from the beginning and we are very grateful for this support
and encouragement. The Festival would also like to thank our
adjudicators for their commitment to the festival and for travelling
to Kerry.
Welcome to each of the film makers and thank you for choosing
the Kerry Film Festival. Your work will bring joy and inspiration
to our audiences and it is because of you that we in Samhlaíocht
do what we do. I look forward to meeting you all in the theatres,
art centres, polytunnel, galleries and clubs.
