Sarah Gavron was awarded the ‘Best International Short’ for the short film, ‘Losing Touch’, and the ‘Best Irish Short’ award went to Ian Power for ‘Buskers’. The ‘Best Animation’ Award was given to Billy O’Brien for his humorous film, ‘The Tale of the Rat that Wrote’, and the award for ‘Best Feature’ went to Khaled El Hager, ‘Room To Rent’.
