We are delighted to announce the recipients of the New Voices Short Film Fund 2026, supporting original, new storytelling from emerging filmmakers in County Wexford.
New Voices 2026 Awardees:
i dtrípháirt
Writer & Director Muirinn Ní Chárthaigh
Producer Jodie Fearon
i dtrípháirt is an Irish-language short film that follows three sisters as they navigate an unspoken grief, each in their own way, and together as a fragile harmony. While they struggle to cope with the emotional weight of their loss, they find solace in music and in each other’s company.
Ghost Tracks
Writer & Director John Higgins
Producer Elizabeth McKiernan
Ghost Tracks is a psychological horror which has elements of supernatural horror in its storytelling. Snatched glimpses of darkly malevolent shapes and shadows, fleeting movements across the frame and even jump scares will all play a part, but at its core, the director wishes to convey a sense of growing dread, the uncanny feeling that the characters, and indeed the audience, are not alone in this apartment.
Congratulations to both winners and teams – we can’t wait to see these films come to the screen!

We’re thrilled to share the recipients of two incredible initiatives aimed at empowering emerging filmmakers in County Wexford:
Finishing Fund 2024
Congratulations to Dr. Leslie George and Michael Benson for receiving the Finishing Fund to support their festival entry for the short film ‘Kathleen’.
Shot in the picturesque town of Enniscorthy, ‘Kathleen’ captures the essence of Irish rural life – its landscapes, folklores, and traditional houses – while also reflecting a universal family narrative. The film follows Kathleen, an elderly woman who, isolated from her community and grieving the loss of her dog, struggles to find joy and connection in a life increasingly overshadowed by neglect from her daughter.
The Finishing Fund initiative was designed to assist filmmakers with an already completed short drama, documentary, or animation film, providing the resources needed to finish their work and share unique, original stories from Wexford with the world.
Shadowing Fund 2024

The Shadowing Fund is dedicated to supporting Wexford-based film crews, offering opportunities to shadow and learn from experienced filmmakers on set. This fund is designed to boost skills across all departments, including Director, Producer, DOP, Art Dept, Gaffer, Editor, Scriptwriter, and more!
Both funds continue to nurture the vibrant and diverse filmmaking talent in our region, and we can’t wait to see where these opportunities take them!
