A Trio of Irish Finalists Make It through to The Immortal Awards European Round

The Immortal Awards landed in Ireland last week, hosting the first in-person jury session of the year at Screen Scene on Thursday 5th October. 

The day, supported by The Brill Building, Motherland and Screen Scene, saw Ireland’s finest creative minds gather to decide which projects, if any, were to through to the regional European round of judging as Irish Finalists.

Ultimately, three projects made the cut and qualified for the next round. 

The session saw a shortlist of 17 projects, which scored highest in the first round of online judging, discussed and debated by a jury from the market.

The Immortal Awards 2023 Irish Finalists are:

The three projects will go up against the Finalists from the other European jury days - including the Netherlands, UK, Germany, France, Spain and the Nordics - as well as the best work from around the region at the European round of judging on Friday 20th October.
