Following its world premiere at the International Film Festival Rotterdam, Joy won the Prix UIP Rotterdam award and is now nominated for the short film category of the 2008 European Film Awards. The jury said of Joy:

‘This is a wonderfully cinematic short film where content and form are in perfect balance. With its deliberate slow-motion and skillfully choreographed construction, Joy takes us on a journey not just across the public park of its setting, but on an intriguing imaginative journey.’

Our screenings of Joy at Rotterdam were generously supported by Culture Ireland.

We are very happy to announce that Joy was joint winner of the Best Short Live Action award at Darklight Festival 2008.
