    BOSTON IRISH FILM FESTIVAL PRESENTS: Return with us to the early days of the cinema as we recreate the Nickelodeon experience with music, song, and film to celebrate the first ever fiction films made in Ireland. The Boston Irish Film Festival is proud to present this unique multimedia event that takes you back to the early 1910s when pioneering screenwriter/actress Gene Gauntier and director Sidney Olcott of the Kalem Film Company blazed a trail from New York to Killarney—and into history! Affectionately known as the “O’Kalems,” Gauntier, Olcott, and their crew became the first American filmmakers to shoot overseas and the first to produce films that reflected the realities of the Irish experience. A sentimental mix of rebel dramas, folk romances, and tales of exile and emigration, their films proved tremendously popular with the Irish in America and helped ease the ease the pangs of being so far from home. Blazing the Trail presents a selection of these rarely‐seen films with live musical accompaniment and interspersed with popular Irish parlor songs from the period. All films have been digitally restored, with some receiving their first public screening in almost a century! The event will also feature a series of originally produced short films, which draw upon the autobiography of Gene Gauntier’s to recount the adventures of the “O’Kalems” in Ireland. Featuring the music of pianist Peter Freisinger and vocalists Victoria Hayes & Liz Hayes, Blazing the Trail is directed by Peter Flynn and produced by Dawn Morrissey. 7pm Monday, November 23 | The Coolidge Corner Theatre, Brookline Tickets: $9.75 ABOUT THE “O’KALEMS”: 1895‐1909.

  • The Irish in American Cinema 1910 – 1930: Recurring Narratives and Characters
    The Irish in American Cinema 1910 – 1930: Recurring Narratives and Characters THOMAS JAMES SCOTT, University of Ulster ABSTRACT This paper will consider cinematic depictions of the Irish between 1910 and 1930. American cinema during these years, like those that preceded them, contained a range of stereotypical Irish characters. However, as cinema began to move away from short sketches and produce longer films, more complex plots and refined Irish characters began to appear. The onscreen Irish became vehicles for recurring themes, the majority of which had uplifting narratives. This paper will discuss common character types, such as the Irish cop and domestic servant, and subjects such as the migration narrative, the social reform narrative and the inter-ethnic comedy. It will also briefly consider how Irish depictions in the 1910s and 1920s compared to earlier representations. While the emphasis will be on films viewed at archives, including the University of California, Los Angeles Film and Television Archive, or acquired through private and commercial sellers, the paper will also reflect on some films that are currently considered lost. KEYWORDS Irish, cinema, representation, stereotypes, migrants. Introduction Feature Productions’ early ‘talkie’ Irish Fantasy (Orville O. Dull, 1929) should be considered important for two reasons. One, it is one of the earliest Irish-themed musicals to survive in its entirety. Two, it was produced by William Cameron Menzies, who would go on to win an Academy Award for his production design on MGM’s Gone With the Wind (Victor Fleming, 1939). The film centres on an old Irish man explaining the meaning of the three leaves of the shamrock to his uninformed grandson, who remarks ‘sure they’re only weeds.’ The first leaf signifies what the Irish are, ‘happy-go-lucky with warm blood in our hearts.’ The second symbolises the big hearts of the Irish who were forced to migrate to America.

  • A History of the Middle of Georgia 1
    Jackson: A History of the Middle of Georgia 1 In the southwestern section of town is a place that was once howling grounds for two packs of wolves. The two packs, one from Yellow Water and one from Sandy Creek, made that area their nocturnal meeting area and made nights frightful to early settlers due to the hideous howling. Before Jackson was created, the area where the downtown now stands was only two Indian trails that crossed where a 10’ by 12’ log cabin stood and was used as a post office. The first hanging in Jackson took place before the city was created in the middle of what would become Third Street between the Furlow and Slaughter residences. Two White men were hanged there on an old chestnut tree and were buried in the backyard of the Furlow place. 1818 In 1818, the first church services were held in what would become the City of Jackson. They were conducted by a Methodist, Mrs. Mary Williams Buttrill, in a log house erected by her slaves at what is now the east entrance to the Jackson Cemetery. Buttrill died in 1830, but for years she took her own seven boys, three daughters, slaves and local children into this log house one afternoon a week to hold religious services using her Bible and prayer book. 1822 The Southern Railway was built through the area that would soon become Butts County in 1822. A Western Union telegraph service came to the area soon after that. 1825 Butts County was created by an act of the Georgia General Assembly on December 24, 1825.

  • A Century of 'Cinematographing Ireland'
    A century of ‘cinematographing Ireland’ Published in History Ireland 20th-century / Contemporary History, Features, Issue 6 (Nov/Dec 2010), Volume 18, World War I http://www.historyireland.com/20th-century-contemporary-history/a-century-of- cinematographing-ireland/ In the Kalem Company’s Colleen Bawn (1911), Danny (Sidney Olcott), tormented with guilt after having attempted to drown the Colleen Bawn, is restrained by Father Tom (Arthur Donaldson). An intertitle states that ‘the bed used in this scene belonged to Daniel O’Connell and was occupied by him’. (Muckross House, Killarney) One hundred years ago, on the night of Saturday 13 August 1910, three passengers travelling from New York disembarked from the White Star Line’s steamer Baltic at what was then called Queenstown, now Cobh, with a device that was revolutionising how people viewed the world: the cinematograph or cine-camera. This device had existed for fifteen years by 1910, and had been used to record events and film short fiction subjects. At this point, film-makers were perfecting the techniques that would allow them to produce long fiction films for mass audiences and consequently make the cinema the twentieth century’s dominant medium. The arrival of the three-person film crew marked the beginning of the first serious effort to make Ireland not only a part of the international market for such films but also the location for their production. Kalem Sidney Olcott, Gene Gauntier and George Hollister were employees of the New York-based Kalem Company, a small film production company that made the most of its lack of studios by specialising in fiction films admired for the realism of their outdoor settings.
