Continuing Ireland’s strong run in the Short Film category of the Oscars two live action short films; Terry George’s ‘The Shore’ and Peter McDonald’s ‘Pentecost’ have both been nominated in the Short Film (Live Action) category. ‘Pentecost’ director Peter McDonald said he was "really proud" of the nomination for the entire cast and crew. "The film I had in my head is the film that I made and I know from my experience as an actor that doesn’t happen unless you have a talent cast and crew to help you achieve this. I hope that the nomination will create new opportunities for all involved. It is great that the film has connected at such a universal level." Managing Director of Network Ireland TV Derry O Brien, who has ‘Pentecost’ in their catalogue also commented on the nomination saying, "In the football parlance of this short film, this is, indeed a great result. The international market place sees up to 6,000 short films each year embark on that glorious but highly elusive road to the Oscars. Producer Eimear O’Kane Director Peter McDonald are to be congratulated on their great success, purely in getting Pentecost selected as one of the 5 short films nominated in this highly competitive category. We are confident that strong sales will result for their film in the coming months." ‘Pentecost’ was supported by the Irish Film Board and was nominated for the Philips Short Film Award at the IFTAs in 2011, ‘The Shore’ received backing by Northern Ireland Screen and is in the running for the Short Film Award at the IFTAs next month.
