UCC students will feature in festival programme alongside Domhnall Gleeson, Nicola Coughlan and Barry Keoghan.

Film & Screen Media students were treated to a special performance by cast members of Hundreds of Beavers the, critically acclaimed and commercially successful indie hit that has been creating 'Beaver Fever' amongst a growing fan base across the world. Students also participated in a Q&A with the film's star and co-creator Ryland Brickson Cole Tews, ahead of its screening at the Triskel Arts Centre, the 44^th on a UK/Ireland tour. 

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.
