'Endgame' wins Critics Award at Chicago Irish Film Festival
The Chicago Irish Film Festival welcomed new partners and awarded prizes for short films in its seventh year of celebrating Irish film.
Among highlights of the Festival was a fascinating discussion after Shockin’ Shorts Programme, led by the American Conference for Irish Studies. The programme included Andrew Greener’s 'Endgame', Jason Forde’s 'Never Judge a Book' and Gary McKendry’s 'Everything in this Country Must'.
Congratulations are also due to director Terry Loane, whose film 'Mickybo & Me' was selected as the centrepiece of Chicago Magazine’s citywide cultural guide for March.
This year the festival established two awards, a Critics Award and an Audience Award, both for short films, and the winner of the 2006 Critics Award was Endgame directed by Andrew Greener.
