Drumshanbo final call for poetry films
I am really pleased to put in a final call for poetry films for what promises to be a really memorable event in this beautiful, watery lakeland town (with extraordinary floating boardwalk across Acres lake) in County Leitrim 22nd to the 25th August.
As they say on the website: the festival ‘brings together some of Irelands finest writers and poets to celebrate the written word. As part of this we host an annual Poetry Film competition open to filmmakers and poets from everywhere. Each year we have an evening where we screen the shortlisted films as part of the festivals opening ceremony.’ They have a substantial First Prize of €500.

You can see the scenery, culture and friendliness alone are worth the visit, so why not organise a trip?
