Director Katrina Costello with Cormac McGinley on Mullaghmore for the two-part Heart of Stone series.
Lyrical new Burren documentary to air on RTÉ
April 10, 2021
HEART of Stone is the title of a visually stunning two-part series to air on RTÉ One at 6.30pm next Sunday.
The Burren is a place full of intrigue and mystery to Lahinch-based film-maker Katrina Costello, who has been working there for over 13 years. “It is not a landscape that gives up her secrets easily, but in every fold of rock and around every corner there is always a new surprise,” she remarked.
Heart of Stone captures the raw and complicated beauty of the Burren using intimate natural history photography and the spontaneous insights of a cast of local contributors.
Clare County Council is partnering on a new short film development and production scheme for emerging talent based in Clare, Limerick and Tipperary.
Run by Innovate Limerick through Film in Limerick, ‘Engine Shorts’ is a partnership between the local authority Arts Offices in Clare, Limerick and Tipperary, and Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board (LCETB).
The new scheme aims to inspire and support up-and-coming writers, directors and producers to create inspiring, engaging world-class short films that resonate with a wide international audience.
It will also offer the opportunity for emerging local crew to gain real-world experience on funded productions and to receive industry guidance.
