NI Film Receives Oscar Nomination
The Shore, written and produced by Belfast film-maker Terry George, has been nominated for an Oscar.
The short film has been nominated under the 'Best Short Film' category.
The Shore, set on the beautiful County Down coast in Northern Ireland, portrays in stunning cinematography, the incredible natural beauty of the location. The two-time Oscar-nominated director, Terry George, used the best local acting talent and a world-renowned crew to bring to life this compelling human story of divided friendship, misunderstanding and eventual reconciliation.
The short film is the inspiring story of two boyhood best friends - Joe (Ciarán Hinds) and Paddy (Conleth Hill) - divided by 25 years of misunderstanding. Their world and their friendship is shattered by the conflict escalating in Northern Ireland, the two boys' lives take very different paths until, 25 years later, Joe returns for the first time to his homeland with his 24-year-old daughter, Patricia.
