A very successful year for the State's film industry has continued this week with an Irish actress and film scooping awards at the prestigious Tribeca Film Festival in New York.

Eileen Walsh received the Best Actress award for her role in Eden, the film version of Eugene O'Brien's highly acclaimed stage play.

New Boy, which was directed by Steph Green, received the prize for Best Narrative Short Film.

The Tribeca jury said: "New Boy took us on a complete emotional journey. It was moving, funny, and powerful," the jury said.
