Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board (IFB) will have a stand at the festival, which is located at Irish Stand #9 at the Short Film Market, Clermont Ferrand
Produced by Academy Award®-nominated studio Cartoon Saloon, Somewhere Down the Line was directed by Julien Regnard and examines a man's life, loves and losses which are shown through the exchanges he has with the passengers in his car.
