GALWAY FILM FLEADH QUANTITY NOT QUALITY?

Apart from the two Mark O'Connor films none of the other Irish features look interesting. Nothing up to the standards of say Snap or even Charlie Casanova? They're mostly bland, genre stuff that look like they were made a decade ago. The kind of films that will no doubt find a sales agent but will be quickly forgotten. Will be checking out as many of these titles over the next year but they don't look the best. As for the FIVE Irish horror films at the festival, this is a bad sign. Surely these should be shown at Horrorthon in October?
Where are the non-funded features made by new Irish filmmakers who haven't licked arse in the IFB office? Where are the films about the recession and the effects this has had on Irish people? Where is the new style of filmmaking that only Irish people can do? It seems that we have to produce lots of muck and every so often a quality film appears?
