This evening, tune in to RTÉ2 and RTÉ Player at 7pm as we reveal Ireland’s Young Filmmaker of the Year!
The 26th Annual Ireland's Young Filmmaker of the Year, presented by Fresh International Film Festival, is hosted by Gemma Bradley and RTÉ's Stephen Byrne.
The big night celebrates all the amazing work from young creatives who took part in the senior section (ages 13 to 18) of the Fresh International Film Festival.
Each year the festival provides an opportunity for these young filmmakers to have their work seen on a cinema and TV screen for the first time, and to compete for the title of Ireland’s Young Filmmaker of the Year.
And on Thursday, the wait will be over to see who takes home the top prize and €1,000!!
