The Shore (NI, 2011)

An American immigrant returns home with his daughter to Northern Ireland for the first time since leaving 25 years previously. The troubles are briefly alluded to but not dwelt upon.

Looking like it was shot on DV, it's a nice, homely tale and clearly struck a chord with some in the QFT audience. Can't say I've ever been aware of an Oscar for short films up til seeing this, but one thinks that that award may have been given in order to tie in with the NI2012 events (Titanic, Derry European City of Culturte 2012 etc) more so than its own merits.
