This is brilliant. I really hope you get the weather for it. The more of a success an event like this is, the more likelihood of a repeat performance!

Shandon Summer Screening

thank you skinfull.

I'd like to highlight that this event was organised by a local shandon resident with a love of cinema who grew up next to the park, Dominic O Callaghan. With the support of Cork Community Art Link, Rose-Ann Kidney of Goldie Fish events and Project Coordinator Aoife Potter-Cogan this event is now happening.

The event has been funded through relentless fundraising from local businesses and companies to whom we are very grateful.

We sincerely hope that this will be the first of many open air screenings in St. Anne's Park and Free family events in the city.

Here's the list from the link:
Pretty in Pink August 12th 13.00

Saw this earlier today. Though the sound and picture quality of the print wasn't great, it was still a very enjoyable film (I'd give it 8/10). I was surprised by the ending because I hadn't seen it in many a year and had got the plot mixed up in my head with Some Kind of Wonderful.

Orson Welles' playful, eccentric F For Fake is playing at the IFI for a week at the end of the month. A clever and entertaining slice of satire.

Sure its in the first post... Tall Ships Festival Schedule

Ant

My favourite thread on the Films forum seems to have been neglected over the past few weeks. I thought I'd better remedy the situation:

There was a great atmosphere down at the Grand Canal when I saw Jaws on the Saturday of the Tall Ships Festival. The screen wasn't huge but it was adequate for the task while the sound system was better than I had anticipated (they even had speakers from the Grand Canal Theatre to provide "surround sound"). Jaws was good fun; there were cheers from the large crowd when the shark was finally killed.

In the mean-time, the IFI has screened a number of classic films from the past 20 years as they're celebrating their 20th anniversary at Eustace Street. Unfortunately, I'm back studying at night so I only got to see one of them. For the last week of September, there's still the opportunity to see Persepolis, Pan's Labyrinth and Run Lola Run (I caught all of these in the cinema when they originally came out so I don't mind too much not being able to see them again on the big screen).

On the other hand, I was lucky to be able to catch a one-off screening of the 1996 restoration of Hitchcock's masterpiece, Vertigo at the IFI. It was displayed on Ireland's only 70mm projector and the film was introduction by one of the IFI's projectionists. Then, earlier this afternoon, I caught the immensely enjoyable spy thriller, North by Northwest in the Ligththouse who have just started their Hitchcock season.

Ant - posted this in the IFI20 thread fwiw.

I did like the idea of introductions before the screenings. Guy talking about Ugetsu was very much approaching it from the smug academic side, but some interesting and helpful observations. Spirited Away was introduced by an animator, who was more enthusiastic than insightful, but still a nice intro.

Not practical for every screening, and would surely piss many people, but was a pleasant bonus for these.

I thought it was great to see a real live projectionist - an increasingly rare species I found it interesting to learn that VistaVision was a higher definition format than regular 35mm film and they used 70mm when they restored the film in 1996 so they could replicate the original medium as close as possible.

Baraka is getting a digital restoration and re-release in the middle of October according to the new IFI brochure, along with John Cassavatte's Husbands. Looking forward to both - Cassavatte's has been cited as an influence on many directors I'm quite fond of, but have never actually seen one of his films

Awesome! Hopefully this new restoration will be included on the Blu-ray two-pack of Baraka & Samsara due out in December.

Ah sure I only stole them from the Lighthouse site.

Yeah well since the screen has dropped the ball I had to turn my attentions to the lighthouse. Glad someone kept the masses informed!
