In this episode we have the pleasure of speaking to the co- founder of the prestigious London Short Film Festival, Phillip Ilson.Phillip co-founded LSFF with Kate Taylor in 2003 under its original moniker Halloween Short Film Festival, following ten years of running its predecessor The Halloween Society.Phillip is also a vastly experienced short film programmer. He's currently the Short Film Programmer for @BFI London Film Festival and has previously programmed for East End Film Festival, Cork Film Festival, Branchage Festival, Latitude and Curzon Soho.In short (pun intended), there's not much Phillip Ilson doesn't know about short films.We talk about all sorts, including his journey with LSFF, what filmmakers have to gain from submitting to a festival, what makes a short film stand out, how the festival runs its selection process, as well as the process by which they come up with their film strands.This was a fresh perspective for us (we haven't interviewed a festival founder before), and it was fascinating for us to get this insight. We've spoken before on the podcast about how we absolutely love LSFF, and were blown away when we went last January.Links:You can find out more about LSFF here:https://shortfilms.org.uk/about/Some of Phillip's favourite short films:Wasp- dir.

We can't believe we've done 200 episodes of the podcast, but here we are. We got to celebrate this milestone in front of an amazing crowd at the FNI Fast Fest screening in The Lighthouse Cinema in Dublin last week. We sat down with Cathy Brady and Mark O'Connor and had a wonderful chat about the life of a filmmaker in Ireland today. Cathy Brady is a two-time IFTA-winning director, having won Best Short in 2011 for her first film Small Change and again in 2013 for Morning, which was also selected for the BFI London Film Festival 2012 and won the Short Film Nominee prize for the European Film Awards at Cork Film Festival.

Mark O' Connor is a graduate of Film Operations and Production from Ballyfermot College and directing from The New York Film Academy. He also holds a masters in screenwriting from IADT. Mark made over 60 short films, before writing and directing his debut feature film ‘Between the Canals'.

It was the acting debut for Barry Keoghan and many of the cast went on to star in leading roles in the hit RTE television series ‘Love Hate'. Mark's second feature film ‘King of the travellers' was selected for festivals around the world and received a UK and Irish cinema and DVD release and was released in 150 territories worldwide on VOD. ‘Stalker', Mark's third feature film won the Underground Film Festival and Runner up Prize at the Galway Film festival.

It won 6 awards at the Manchester Film Festival including Best Film, Best Actor, Outstanding Cinematography, Outstanding Screenplay, Outstanding Director, and Film of the Festival. It also won Best Film at The Newport Beach Film Festival in Los Angeles. Worldwide rights to the film were bought by Netflix. Mark then wrote and directed a six-part crime drama for Virgin Media UK/Ireland called ‘Darklands'. It received critical acclaim and an average of 450,000 viewers per episode and was recently sold to Australian television network SBS.

In this episode of The Directors' Take podcast, your hosts Oz Arshad and Marcus Anthony Thomas are joined by Philip Ilson, the Co-Founder and Co-Director of the BAFTA and BIFA Qualifying London Short Film Festival. As a director looking to break into the industry, you need to get your film into reputable film festivals to platform your work and gain industry attention. The rejection and lack of feedback associated with this process can be disheartening to many, so we brought Philip on to help break down their decision-making process for you all. This conversation covers:   -What are film festivals? -How he created LSFF. -What makes a good short film? -What is the ideal length for a short film? -Is there unconscious bias in the selection process? -Why don't film festivals provide feedback on the shorts submitted? -What does the festival programming process look like? -Do film festivals have an agenda? -What does he think about the film festival pathway?   Philip co-founded LSFF with Kate Taylor in 2003 under its original moniker Halloween Short Film Festival, following ten years of running its predecessor The Halloween Society through its various guises as a film and club night. Philip has previously programmed for BFI London Film Festival, East End Film Festival, Cork Film Festival, Branchage Festival, Latitude and Curzon Soho.   Nuggets of the week   Oz: The Making of Rocky vs Drago by Sylvester Stallone Marcus: Arnold - Netflix TV Mini Series Philip: Whatever happened to the C86 Kids?: An Indie Odyssey by Nige Tassell    Credits Music by Oliver Wegmüller   Socials Instagram: @TheDirectorsTakePodcast Twitter: @DirectorsTake LSFF socials: https://shortfilms.org.uk/   If you have any questions relating to the episode or have topics you would like covering in future releases, reach out to us at TheDirectorsTake@Outlook.com.

Programme 1 charts the development of the suffrage movement in Ireland and the role of the Irish Citizen newspaper, the mouthpiece of the Irish Women's Suffrage League. The programme assesses the influence of Britain's Emily Pankhurst and her more militant suffragette movement, the Women's Social and Political Union, on the more pacifist Irish suffragists. Discussion points for this programme include the effects of the 1913 Lockout on the attitude of many key figures such as the poet W.B. Yeats, and the dramatist Sean O'Casey- to Irish politics and the influence of the socialist thinker, James Connolly- on the Irish suffrage movement. Also the opposition of John Redmond's Irish Parliamentary Party to women's suffrage, provides a challenging field of discussion. Dr Doyle O'Neill is a Board member of the Cork Film Festival, as well as being an active committee member of IFUT. She is also a member of The Women's History Association, the National Union of Journalists, as well as being a patron of the UCC Journalism Society.

She has also written an award winning radio series, The Road to the Vote: The fight for female suffrage in Ireland, which is currently available on the Oireachtas website in Dail Éireann.
