Irish Examiner 'Made In Cork' Award: "Torture Is Us"
Directed By: Noel Twomey
Jury Statement:
It's not an exaggeration to say that the standard in the 'Made In Cork' category this year was higher than ever. And that made for a long and protracted discussion among the Jury members. So, after much horse-trading, it came down to two films. Sliding into a convincing second is Trails, Ciara Kennedy's well-crafted, memorable and charming boy meets snail story. And for its significant accomplishment, we'd like to give Trails a special mention. A special mention also goes to Mosquito Bites.

However, the overall prize goes to a film depicting the questionable entrepreneurial skill of one Scooter Twomey. For its humorous approach to a serious subject - Ireland's role in international torture through US 'extraordinary rendition' - this year's Irish Examiner 'Made In Cork' award goes to Noel Twomey, for Torture Is Us.

'Made In Cork' Jury: Emma Bowell, Ian McDonagh, Ian Kilroy

Directed By: Jens Assur, (Sweden)
Jury Statement:
Firstly we would like to thank Cork Film Festival, our parents and our schools for this great opportunity. We selected this film for its evocative, powerful and disturbing narrative. This is a story of two nihilistic men, their passion for war in their quest for glory and fame.
