"I'd Bloody Love It If We Beat Them, I'd Bloody Love It...

....and they still got to go to Sundance next month and get something...." Martin McDonagh's In Bruges will open Sundance this year, but it won't be the only Irish entry to the festival...

Simon Fitzmaurice's short The Sound Of People has joined the 19 titles (whittled down from 5000) for the Dramatic Shorts selection. Produced by Noreen Donohoe and starring Martin McCann, the story sees an 18-year-old connect with both his past and his future while dealing with his own impending death. Fitzmaurice: "I am absolutely over the moon about getting into Sundance. Everyone worked heart and soul on this film and this is a wonderful response."

In the Documentary Shorts section, Ken Wardrop has two entries: 'Farewell Packets Of Ten' sees two women discuss the pros and cons of smoking and 'Scoring' documents the power of the kiss.

TToH are still waiting on word for their own documentary - Doggin' Into Some Young One Down The Back Of The Cinema. Hopes are still high.
