Brendan O’Sullivan All Ireland Winner A fictional story of a young man's ghost still haunted by the loss of his young friend by Mollie McConaghy and Jack Thompson ‘Anna’ won the N.I. Tourist Board trophy for a sequence on a Northern Ireland Theme. Once again all the Festival sessions were well attended. Although the majority of the audience do not participate in AV they support and enjoy the medium. The attendance of so many of our friends from the IPF in the Republic of Ireland and continued support of the Mayor and Newtownabbey Borough Council is greatly appreciated. Nothing left to do now but start again, the 2016 Festival is only 51 weeks away!
