We're alsohoping to finish off the weekend with a chill out session on the Sunday completewith BBQ, smoothies and an acoustic set from Simon Fagan. ”

The festival is scheduled to start on Thursday with an open day/exhibition by CineElectric, TeamFX and Production Depot held up in Ardmore Studios. “We often findthat when people are starting out they feel a bit intimidated or something aboutcoming up here and talking to us about rentals.” says Jason Foran, Manager of CineElectric “The open day will provide those people with a great opportunity to come upand see what we have going on as well as being a chance for everyone else to see ournew toys.”

Details of the festival are still being announced but among the confirmed events is a workshop with editor Tony Kearns. Tony has edited some of the most iconic videosof all time such as Radiohead “Just”, The Prodigy “Firestarter” and Snow Patrol“Run”.

Among the musical acts confirmed for the weekend are Noise Control, Autoban, SweetJane, Scarecrow Disco and Le Galaxie. The festival's commitment to the musicians endof promo has been further cemented with the announcement of a new award for BestArtist.
