Radical science guide to Dublin wins €10,000 prize

The competition was launched earlier this year asking filmmakers, musicians and artists to produce their vision of what makes the city the way it is. You can check out some more of the entries here and here.

A public vote chose the overall winner – this film by Oisín Byrne and Gary Farrelly:
