Hundreds of Beavers follows a 19th Century applejack salesman (played by Ryland Brickson Cole Tews) who, to survive in a cold, North American landscape, must hunt hundreds of beavers. The film is a slapstick comedy which uses classic cinematic techniques infused with a modern twist to produce one of the funniest movies in recent years. 

Students of the BA in Film & Screen Media recently participated in a masterclass with Chinese director Lin Jianjie who screened his first feature film Brief History of a Family as part of the East Asian Film Festival at the Triskel Arts Centre, Cork. 

This is the first screening of the 2023-2025 Lord Puttnam Scholarship film, in partnership with Cork International Film Festival in the Aula Maxima on 9th April at 6.30pm.

Eight UCC students have been awarded the prestigious title of Puttnam Scholar.
