THE Golden Globes may have been the focus of attention last night but a short movie by two Killarney filmmakers is to enjoy the limelight next week.

Edesia, by Noreen Bingham and Dennis Earlie, will be shown on the forthcoming new series entitled "The Short Film Show" and is in the running for one of its major prizes. “Edesia is a quirky interpretative film using Edesia the Roman Goddess of food as a title to evoke a young girls understanding of a food disorder as seen through her eyes,” said Noreen.

The Short Film Show series will broadcast its first show next Monday, January 15, at 10pm on Sky 212 and Freesat 161 and will broadcast weekly for 10 weeks. The episodes will also be available on Amazon Prime shortly after they are broadcast on Sky; see https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=5&v=M6v7up8xogw

Edesia was nominated for best cinematography in the Southampton International Film Festival last year. “It didn't win but it was nice to be nominated and recognized by the British Film Industry,” said Dennis. He and Noreen completed Edesia as their first short in 2015 and filmed it on location in Killarney.

Spa GAA and the Kerry Parents & Friends Association are among the Kerry organisations to benefit from the SE Systems Community Fund Programme 2025.

Both groups have been announced as successful applicants for the national energy grant funding scheme, which supports community and sports organisations in delivering sustainable, energy-efficient projects that help reduce running costs.
The fund, launched in 2022, provides financial assistance, technical resources, and expert guidance to not-for-profit organisations working to improve energy efficiency and sustainability.
For Spa GAA, the funding will go towards a full insulation retrofit of the club’s Sports Hall and Clubhouse, as well as upgrading existing floodlights to new energy-efficient LED fittings. The project follows the installation of a Solar PV system earlier this year, continuing the club’s move toward greater energy conservation.
Speaking at the official funding announcement in Cork, James Cahill of Spa GAA thanked SE Systems “for supporting the power of sport and recreation to bring people together, promote healthy lifestyles and build connections in the community.”
Spa GAA has also been selected as one of three clubs nationally to feature in SE Systems’ print media campaign promoting the Community Fund.
