Séasúir Shorts is a quarterly screening event, bringing short films back into the cinema at Pálás.Our Autumn programme is full of the symbolism that the season brings with it; colour, transformation and change. And of course, to celebrate the spooky season, we’ve got a diversity of shorts made in the horror genre to keep you on the edge of your cinema seat!

Séasúir Shorts is made possible with the support of Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland.
