Many congratulations to 17 year old Olivia Louise Curto on her success in winning second place at Fresh Films Ireland 2024, out of 13,648 entrants from 150 countries. Olivia’s film, ‘Freequencies’ depicts the life of a ten-year-old boy who suffers with electrohypersensitivity (EHS).

Olivia Louise Curto is a young movie director and SFX artist living between Dublin and Milan. “Ten year old Oliver experiences life differently due to electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS). This rare condition makes everyday technology a challenge: he feels the buzz of electronic devices more intensely than others. Oliver’s journey sheds light on the often-overlooked effects of our technological footprint and inspires a quest for more genuine human connections.”

ES-Ireland appreciate the making of this film and thank Olivia for giving people with EHS a voice and highlighting their existence. We wish her every success in the future.
