  • The Role of Irish-Language Film in Irish National Cinema Heather
    Finding a Voice: The Role of Irish-Language Film in Irish National Cinema Heather Macdougall A Thesis in the PhD Humanities Program Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada August 2012 © Heather Macdougall, 2012 ABSTRACT Finding a Voice: The Role of Irish-Language Film in Irish National Cinema Heather Macdougall, Ph.D. Concordia University, 2012 This dissertation investigates the history of film production in the minority language of Irish Gaelic. The objective is to determine what this history reveals about the changing roles of both the national language and national cinema in Ireland. The study of Irish- language film provides an illustrative and significant example of the participation of a minority perspective within a small national cinema. It is also illustrates the potential role of cinema in language maintenance and revitalization. Research is focused on policies and practices of filmmaking, with additional consideration given to film distribution, exhibition, and reception. Furthermore, films are analysed based on the strategies used by filmmakers to integrate the traditional Irish language with the modern medium of film, as well as their motivations for doing so. Research methods included archival work, textual analysis, personal interviews, and review of scholarly, popular, and trade publications. Case studies are offered on three movements in Irish-language film. First, the Irish- language organization Gael Linn produced documentaries in the 1950s and 1960s that promoted a strongly nationalist version of Irish history while also exacerbating the view of Irish as a “private discourse” of nationalism. Second, independent filmmaker Bob Quinn operated in the Irish-speaking area of Connemara in the 1970s; his fiction films from that era situated the regional affiliations of the language within the national context.

  • Introduction: Intuition/Image/Event: 'Beckett's Peephole' As Audio
    Notes Introduction: Intuition/Image/Event: ‘Beckett’s Peephole’ as Audio- Visual Rhizome 1. The quote is from Beckett’s The Unnamable. 2. Beckett first outlines this concept in his 1932 novel, Dream of Fair to Middling Women, where the character Belacqua desires to write a book whereby ‘The experience of my reader shall be between the phrases, in the silence, communicated by the intervals, not the terms, of the statement.’ Beckett (1992), p. 138. 3. I will discuss this distinction in Chapter 1. 4. See Uhlmann (1999), specifically chapter 2; (2004), pp. 90–106; and (2006). 1 Thinking the Unthinkable: Time, Cinema and the Incommensurable 1. They could thus be said to be more ‘thallic’ than ‘phallic’, horizontally fugitive rather than vertically hierarchical, molecular rather than molar. On the ‘ thallic’, see Weber (1982), pp. 65–83. 2. The Proustian implications of this temporal multiplicity are obvious, although Proust, like Beckett, is less concerned with duration, the past-present’s ability to ‘move on’ as becoming- future, than with the role of memory as a means of destroying the pernicious influence of habit. His distinction between voluntary and involuntary memory is predicated on a desire to preserve lost time as it survives in itself, the better to regain it for ourselves as art. 3. See Bellour (1977), pp. 66–91; (1986), pp. 66–101. 4. The reference to Wim Wender’s Falsche Bewegung (1975) is not uncoincidental. Wenders is paradigmatic of one aspect of the crystal- image in Cinema 2. See pp. 76–8. 5. For Nietzsche’s eternal return as an affirmation of difference, see Deleuze (1983).

  • Filmography V6.Indd
    a filmography Foreword by The Irish Film Institute For over 60 years, the Irish Film Institute has been dedicated to the promotion of film culture in Ireland and therefore is proud to present this filmography of Samuel Beckett’s work. Beckett remains one of Ireland’s most important and influential artists and Samuel Beckett – A Filmography provides a snapshot of the worldwide reach and enduring nature of his creativity. As part of the Beckett centenary celebrations held in April 2006, the Irish Film Institute organised a diverse programme of films relating to the work of Beckett, including a tour of the line-up to cinemas around the country. Prior to this, the Irish Film Institute provided the unique opportunity to view all 19 films in the ‘Beckett on Film’ series by screening the entire selection in February 2001. This filmography provides the perfect accompaniment to these previous programmes and it illustrates that Beckett’s work will continue to be adapted for film and television worldwide for years to come. Photograph by Richard Avedon Samuel Beckett – A Filmography was made possible though the kind support of the Department of Arts, Sport and Tourism and the Beckett Centenary Council and Festival Committee. Mark Mulqueen Director, The Irish Film Institute An Introduction Compiling a filmography of Beckett’s work is both a challenging and daunting prospect. It was important, from the outset, to set some parameters for this filmography. Therefore, to this end, I decided to focus on the key area of direct adaptations of Beckett’s work filmed for cinema or television.
