Irish Film Series an Engrossing Trip Through the Music, Customs, Culture Irish Film Series An engrossing trip through the music, customs, culture, politics, religion and history of Ireland as told in a series of films made about, Ireland and her people. The featured films span 200 years of the Irish experience. Series host: Frank Howe, Professor Emeritus, Longwood University WHEN IRELAND STARVED (1992) Saturday, February 28 2:00 – 4:00 PM "The ruin is great and complete. They are prostrate and helpless. The once frolicsome people, the saucy beggars...have disappeared and given place to wan and haggard objects who are so resigned to their doom that they no longer expect relief. One beholds only shrunken frames, scarcely covered with flesh, crawling skeletons, who appear to have risen from their graves." These are the words of a doctor writing at the height of the Great Irish Famine—undoubtedly an event with the most far-flung effects in Irish history. This film traces the causes of An Gorta Mór (The Great Hunger), follows its unfolding, and examines its results. It lays the groundwork for contextualizing the remainder of the film series. Director/Screenplay: Joseph Dunn THE BLODDY IRISH (2016) Saturday, March 7 2:00 – 4:00 PM A unique musical based on the events of the 1916 Easter Rising. The production combines traditional Irish music and song with a compelling script that examines the causes and results of the failed rebellion that ultimately led to Irish independence. Director: Michael Barker-Cavan Composer/Musical Director: David Downes Screenplay: Barry Devlin THE WIND THAT SHAKES THE BARLEY (2007) Saturday, March 14 2:00 – 4:00 PM Set during the Irish War of Independence in the early 1920s. Damien, an Irish medical student, is about to leave Ireland to complete his training in London, but before doing so, he witnesses atrocious brutalities carried out by the Black and Tans, which leads him to join his brother Teddy in the Irish Republican Army. Soon however, the peace treaty is signed, and the brothers are pitted against each other. This is the first such film made in Ireland to address the terrible consequences of the Irish civil war (1922– 1923) Director: Ken Loach Screenplay: Paul Laverty THE SECRET OF ROAN INISH (1995) Saturday, March 31 2:00 – 4:00 PM Fiona (Jeni Courtney) is a young Irish girl with an unusual family history, including a missing baby brother. With her family reeling from the effects of post war economic woes and the more personal tragedy of the loss of her mother and brother, she goes to live with her grandparents on the west coast of Ireland, Fiona hears stories about her ancestors, tales that involve mythical creatures called selkies, who can shift from seal to human form. After Fiona ends up on the small island of Roan Inish, her family's ancestral home, she believes she may have found her, long missed, little brother living by the sea. Director: John Sayles Screenplay: John Sayles (adapted from Rosalie K. Fry’s: The Secret of Ron Mor Skerry) EVELYN (2002) Saturday, March 28 2:00 – 4:00 PM Set in Dublin, 1953, when the mother of young Evelyn Doyle abandons her family, her devastated father, Desmond, is left to care for Evelyn and her brothers on his own. The children are soon taken into custody by the Irish child welfare authorities and sent to two separate orphanages. To recover his children Desmond must not only demonstrate financial solvency and social responsibility, he must have the written consent of his wife who has abandoned the family and is nowhere to be found. This true story tells how a desperate working class father challenges Irish law in its Cúirt Uachtarach na hÉirea (Supreme Court) to reunite his family. Director / Screenplay: Bruce Beresford IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER (1993) Saturday, April 4 2:00 – 4:00 PM Unemployed young Irishman Gerry Conlon (Daniel Day-Lewis) gets by as a petty thief in 1970s Belfast. When local IRA leaders get fed up with him, he flees to England and meets up with his friend Paul Hill (John Lynch). On the same night that the IRA bombs a nearby pub, the friends get kicked out of their communal digs and are forced to sleep in a park. Conlon returns to Belfast, but is arrested as the prime suspect in the bombing and is wrongfully imprisoned, where he spends 15 years trying to clear his name. Director: Jim Sheridan The film is based on Conlon's autobiography. IN AMERICA (2003) Saturday, April 11 2:00 – 4:00 PM This is the moving and hopeful story of the Sullivan family who, emigrate from Ireland to New York City, via Canada, as father Johnny (Paddy Considine) chases his dream of being an actor. Living in a small Hell's Kitchen apartment, the family settles into American life despite their deplorable living conditions. Wife Sarah (Samantha Morton) works at an ice cream parlor while Johnny looks for work as an actor. Both are haunted by memories of their dead son, Frankie. Daughter Christie (Sarah Bolger) documents the family's American journey with a video camera. It's not the typical story of turn-of-the-century immigrants facing prejudice and struggle, but a modern story, set in the 1980s and involving new sets of problems, such as racism and the drug addiction in the building and the neighborhood. It is also about the way poverty humiliates those who have always prided themselves on being able to cope. Director : Jim Sheridan Screenplay : Jim Sheridan and his daughters Naomi and Kirsten THE GUARD (2011) Saturday, April 18 2:00 – 4:00 PM A vulgar Irish cop (Brendan Gleeson) and a straight-laced American FBI agent (Don Cheadle) uncover police corruption among the former's superiors while probing a drug-trafficking ring. Brendan Gleeson as a tall, shaggy, somewhat corrupt, somewhat lazy Guard and Don Cheadle as a consulting F.B.I. agent, tell the tale of two very different men who end up reluctantly working together on a drug smuggling case set on the west coast of Ireland. The film is fierce, funny and fascinating. Director / Screenplay: John Michael McDonagh WAKING NED DEVINE (1998) Saturday, April 25 2:00 – 4:00 PM When best friends Jackie O'Shea (Ian Bannen) and Michael O'Sullivan (David Kelly) discover someone in their small Irish village has won the lottery, they immediately set off to see if the winner is in a sharing mood. Deducing that Ned Devine is the lucky man, O'Shea and O'Sullivan pay him a visit, only to find him dead from the shock. Since Devine is the only one who can claim the prize, the townsfolk band together to convince the claim inspector that O'Sullivan is really Devine, and thereby split the cash. Hilarity ensues! Directo / Screenplay: Kirk Jones THE QUIET MAN (1952) Saturday, May 2 2:00 – 4:00 PM After accidentally killing an opponent in the ring, boxer Sean Thornton (John Wayne) leaves America and returns to his native Ireland, hoping buy his family's homestead and live in peace. In doing so, he runs afoul of Will Danaher (Victor McLaglen), who long coveted the property. Spitefully, Will objects when his fiery sister, Mary Kate (Maureen O'Hara), begins a romance with Sean, and refuses to hand over her dowry. Mary Kate refuses to consummate the marriage until Sean retrieves the money. The basic plot is simply the vehicle director John Ford uses to compose his love letter to Ireland. The film is a classic and a delight. Director: John Ford Screenplay: Frank S. Nugent, Richard Llewellyn Adapted from Story by: Maurice Walsh .

  • Working-Class Cinema in the Age of Digital Capitalism
    WORKING-CLASS CINEMA IN THE AGE OF DIGITAL CAPITALISM MASSIMILIANO MOLLONA he story of cinema starts with workers. The film Workers Leaving The TLumière Factory In Lyon (La Sortie des Usines Lumière à Lyon, 1895) by the brothers Louis and Auguste Lumière, 45 seconds long, shows the approximately 100 workers at a factory for photographic goods in Lyon- Montplaisir leaving through two gates and exiting the frame to both sides. But why does the story of cinema begin with the end of work? Is it because, as has been suggested, it is impossible to represent work from the perspective of labour but only from the point of view of capital, because the revolutionary horizon of the working class coincides with the end of work?1 After all, the early revolutionary art avant-garde had an ambiguous relationship with capitalism: it provided both a critique of commodification whilst also reproducing the commodity form.2 Even the cinema of Eisenstein, which so subverted the bourgeois sense of space, time, and personhood, at the same time standardized and commodified working-class reality with techniques of framing and editing that moulded images on the commodity form.3 Such dialectics between art and the commodity form continue to be played out in today’s digital capitalism, as exemplified by so-called ‘debt- artists’, like the hackers collective, Robin Hood, who appropriate the techniques and modes of sociality of financial capitalism to generate spaces of reciprocity and cooperation with the aim of disrupting their commodity logic, but which in fact end up reproducing it.4 The tension between critique and commodification is no less in play as the digital medium erases the specificity of cinema, the relation between its material bases and its poetics, opening up as it does to other relations – intertextual, lateral, and cross-media – that recall the synchronic aesthetics of the avant-garde.

  • BBC Four Programme Information
    SOUND OF CINEMA: THE MUSIC THAT MADE THE MOVIES BBC Four Programme Information Neil Brand presenter and composer said, “It's so fantastic that the BBC, the biggest producer of music content, is showing how music works for films this autumn with Sound of Cinema. Film scores demand an extraordinary degree of both musicianship and dramatic understanding on the part of their composers. Whilst creating potent, original music to synchronise exactly with the images, composers are also making that music as discreet, accessible and communicative as possible, so that it can speak to each and every one of us. Film music demands the highest standards of its composers, the insight to 'see' what is needed and come up with something new and original. With my series and the other content across the BBC’s Sound of Cinema season I hope that people will hear more in their movies than they ever thought possible.” Part 1: The Big Score In the first episode of a new series celebrating film music for BBC Four as part of a wider Sound of Cinema Season on the BBC, Neil Brand explores how the classic orchestral film score emerged and why it’s still going strong today. Neil begins by analysing John Barry's title music for the 1965 thriller The Ipcress File. Demonstrating how Barry incorporated the sounds of east European instruments and even a coffee grinder to capture a down at heel Cold War feel, Neil highlights how a great composer can add a whole new dimension to film. Music has been inextricably linked with cinema even since the days of the "silent era", when movie houses employed accompanists ranging from pianists to small orchestras.

  • Adventures in Film Music Redux Composer Profiles
    Adventures in Film Music Redux - Composer Profiles ADVENTURES IN FILM MUSIC REDUX COMPOSER PROFILES A. R. RAHMAN Elizabeth: The Golden Age A.R. Rahman, in full Allah Rakha Rahman, original name A.S. Dileep Kumar, (born January 6, 1966, Madras [now Chennai], India), Indian composer whose extensive body of work for film and stage earned him the nickname “the Mozart of Madras.” Rahman continued his work for the screen, scoring films for Bollywood and, increasingly, Hollywood. He contributed a song to the soundtrack of Spike Lee’s Inside Man (2006) and co- wrote the score for Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007). However, his true breakthrough to Western audiences came with Danny Boyle’s rags-to-riches saga Slumdog Millionaire (2008). Rahman’s score, which captured the frenzied pace of life in Mumbai’s underclass, dominated the awards circuit in 2009. He collected a British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Award for best music as well as a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for best score. He also won the Academy Award for best song for “Jai Ho,” a Latin-infused dance track that accompanied the film’s closing Bollywood-style dance number. Rahman’s streak continued at the Grammy Awards in 2010, where he collected the prize for best soundtrack and “Jai Ho” was again honoured as best song appearing on a soundtrack. Rahman’s later notable scores included those for the films 127 Hours (2010)—for which he received another Academy Award nomination—and the Hindi-language movies Rockstar (2011), Raanjhanaa (2013), Highway (2014), and Beyond the Clouds (2017).

Home » The Commentary 20 films on politics and the media 29 December 2009 | Email This Post | Print This Post BY JOSEPH PLANTA VANCOUVER – A few weeks ago, Sean Holman, the talented and prodigious editor of Public Eye Online was on the program to discuss the year that was and the year to come in provincial politics. We got to talking movies, when I’d asked him if he’d seen State of Play, the fine American film based on the British miniseries of the same name. He suggested two other films: The Candidate and Shattered Glass. This got me thinking about what films had the best depictions of politics, media, journalism and the writing process. I came up with a few, and limited myself to twenty which seemed a workable number. Twenty favourites, as it were. Of course the list is subjective, and is in no particular order. I suspect if I ever get to watching Dr. Strangelove, or The Front Page, or Bob Roberts, or Silver City, they might be added to the list, perhaps even bumping off something already here. There’s nothing on this list that was made for television, otherwise the House of Cards trilogy would be here, as well as the original British miniseries State of Play, The Thick of It, The West Wing, and of course, the Yes, Minister/Yes, Prime Minister tandem. Perhaps Mr. Holman or others would like to add to or debate my choices.
