We have no information on Coomber but recognise Towb as the popular actor from Northern Ireland who was familiar on screen as well as stage. He began his acting career travelling with theatrical groups on both sides of the border and following a move to London in the early 1950s his presence on the British stage was cemented, in particular with his work at the National Theatre. The film critic Eric Shorter wrote of him: “Towb was one of the gentlest, most imaginative and thoughtful actors of his generation… He was always on the stage if he could afford it – taking television and film work to balance out his income.” (The Guardian, 30.07.2009.)

The press corps is seated in front of the main desk where the film festival director, Dermot Breen, sits at the microphone taking questions from them. An audience is gathered around at the back of the room listening to the proceedings and some are taking notes. The photo is dated ‘guess 1960s’ but we can see a poster for the 1977 American mystery film The Late Show (Robert Benton, 1977) taped to the wall of the press room next to a chalk-marked blackboard. This allows us to date the press conference to 1977 (or later). The Late Show was directed by Robert Benton and produced by the award-winning Robert Altman and starred Art Carney and Lily Tomlin whose names feature on the poster.

Title A name given to the resource Wolf Mankowitz at the Savoy Cinema, Cork Subject The topic of the resource Cork Film Festival, Wolf Mankowitz, Savoy Cinema, James Bond Description An account of the resource This is a black and white photo of the English screenwriter Wolf Mankowtiz and companions at the Savoy Cinema in Cork. The imposing figure of Mankowitz, dressed in all black, stands on the right of the photo, slightly turned to his left whilst in conversation with another man. To the left of the photo are two unidentified companions, a younger man with curly dark hair, wearing a velvet jacket accessorised with a scarf at his neck, and in front of him we can just make out the features of a young lady with similar dark curly hair, looking down with a smile on her lips. Mankowitz (1924-1998) was an award-winning English screenwriter and author known for his novels, plays, and screenplays. Mankowitz was of Jewish descent, born in the East End of London. However, following altercations with the English revenue, he moved to Ireland to avail of Charles Haughey’s generous tax policy towards artists and settled in Cork in 1971. He was a successful screenwriter in the 1950s and wrote screenplays for his own works and adapted others including A Kid for Two Farthings (Carol Reed, 1953) and The Millionairess (Anthony Asquith, 1960) starring Sophia Loren and Peter Sellers. He was one of the screenwriters on the first James Bond film Dr No (Terence Young, 1962) but asked for his name to be removed from the credits as he thought it poor; he also collaborated on the Bond movie Casino Royale (Martin Campbell, 1976). In 1972 Mankowitz wrote and directed The Hebrew Lesson starring Milo O’Shea, Patrick Dawson, and Harry Towb (who can also be found in this archive). The film is set in Cork in 1921 during the War of Independence and is about the friendship between an IRA man, escaping pursuit from the Black and Tans, and an elderly man at a synagogue. Mankowitz wrote the screenplay having being told the story about an IRA man hiding in a small synagogue in Dublin’s Lennox Street (TCD Irish Film and TV Research Online: tcd.ie/irishfilm).  It was shown at the Cork Film Festival in 1972 and, despite the photo being marked 1960s, might suggest that the photo was taken around then. Interestingly the Guardian reported that the British M15 kept a security file on Mankowitz for more than a decade suspecting that he was a possible communist agent following his marriage to Ann Seligmann, in 1944, as she was a communist party member. The investigation was dropped when the M15 informant insisted that Mankowitz’s leftwing sympathies had disappeared noting that “He comes to the college every morning with a copy of the Times.” (Alan Travis, The Guardian, 26.08.2010.)

Title A name given to the resource Dermot Breen and camera crew in Fitzgerald's Park Subject The topic of the resource Cork Film Festival, Dermot Breen, Fitzgerald's Park, BBC, Lord Mayor, Edward Fitzgerald, Arthur Hill, Cork Museum, Séamus Murphy Description An account of the resource This is a black and white photo of the festival director Dermot Breen in Fitzgerald’s Park giving an interview to a BBC television crew in the late 1960s. The interview is taking place on one of the tree-lined avenues that dot the park amidst its landscaped gardens. Breen is shown talking to the interviewer, hands in pockets with a cravat tied at his neck; the brass buttons on his jacket glint in the sunlight. We see the three-man television crew from behind and note the belted-jacket on one of the crew suggesting that the photo was taken in the late 1960s or early 1970s.  The park itself is one of Cork’s finest spaces. It originated with the 1902-03 Cork International Exhibition which took place on 8 hectares of reclaimed marshlands along the Mardyke area of Cork City. Organised by the then Lord Mayor of Cork, Edward Fitzgerald, the exhibition was visited by Edward VII and Queen Alexandra and no expense was spared constructing elaborate exhibits including a switchback railway, a water chute, and a pavilion for the park. A decision was made to donate the grounds to Cork Corporation after the exhibition and the new public space was named after Edward Fitzgerald. The legacy of the exhibition can still be seen in the park today in the shape of the President’s and Lord Mayor’s Pavilion (1902) at the entrance to the Park. It was probably designed by the architect Arthur Hill, who also designed the Metropole Hotel. Interestingly Hadji Bey launched their Turkish Delight at the Exhibition and had a shop front at the Metropole Hotel so we might guess that Arthur Hill had a hand in that collaboration too. The Shrubberies House, now Cork Municipal Museum, was used as municipal offices by the Cork Corporation as headquarters to co-ordinate the rebuilding of the City Hall after it was burnt down during the Burning of Cork, by the British Auxiliaries, in December 1920. Under the aegis of Aloys Fleischmann the park set up a Cork Sculpture Park Committee in the mid-1960s, and thanks to that we can see many examples of work by the sculptor Séamus Murphy, including Dreamline and Michael Collins, as well as work from other artists including Marshall Huston and Joseph Higgins.

Title A name given to the resource Dermot Breen on stage Subject The topic of the resource Cork Film Festival, Dermot Breen, Gus Healy, Ciaran Carty, Censor Description An account of the resource This is an atmospheric black and white photo of the festival director Dermot Breen speaking to a seated audience. We only see his back but recognise him from his distinctive side profile. A single spotlight throws its glare down towards the stage and flecks of dust can be made out in the light of the camera. Guests are seated behind Breen along the width of the large stage. We can make out the low profile of the Fianna Fail politician, and sometimes Lord Mayor of Cork, Gus Healy sitting at its centre. Dermot Breen (1924-1978) was the founder of the film festival when he proposed it under the umbrella of the Cork Tóstal Council where he was secretary. Under his auspices, the Cork Film Festival opened at the Savoy Cinema in 1956 with a showing of A Town Like Alice (Jack Lee, 1956) – itself a controversial film at the time because of being withdrawn from Cannes lest it give offence to Japan due to the nature of its World War II content. Breen was born in Waterford and educated in Cork at the Presentation Brothers College on the Mardyke. He was primarily a salesman until he became the manager (1956-1964) of the Palace Cinema in Cork. His greatest achievement however was the establishment of the Cork International Film Festival in 1956 which he ran until his untimely death in 1978. It was one of the first film festivals to earn the recognition of the International Federation of Film Producers Association in Washington in 1959 allowing it to become an annual event. Breen travelled the world attending festivals receiving honours from the 1964 Berlin Film Festival in recognition of his filmic work. He was a keen advocate of short and documentary films whose legacy can be still seen today in the Cork Film Festival ethos. Interestingly Breen also worked as the State film censor from 1972 following a stint on the film censorship board from 1970. The film commentator, Ciaran Carty, saw the appointment of Breen as a time of liberalisation for film in Ireland. Carty notes that Breen seemingly tried to appease the Catholic right with a reactionary stance whilst his actual decision-making contained fewer cuts than any other censor before. (Carty, Confessions of a Sewer Rat: A Personal History of Censorship and the Irish Cinema, New Island Books, 1995, 101.) On his death Breen was replaced by Frank Hall, of Hall’s Pictorial Weekly, who would serve as Irish film censor for the coming decade.

Title A name given to the resource Workshop with Donal Wilde and Pádraig Kennelly Subject The topic of the resource Cork Film Festival, Workshop, Donal Wilde, Pádraig Kennelly, Joan Kennelly Description An account of the resource This is a black and white photo of a workshop that appears to be demonstrating the intricacies of film editing to a small group of participants. The back of the photograph identifies two of the participants as Donal Wilde, sitting at the table, and the photographer Padraig Kennelly. There is little information on Donal Wilde but we know he was a cameraman who possibly worked on the film Patriots for a Man: Blue Shirts and their Times (RTÉ, Nick Coffey, 2000), a film on the history of Irish far-right organisations in the 1930s. A bearded Pádraig Kennelly, wearing a light-coloured jacket and dark trousers, is standing on the right, hands resting on the table and leaning down while he follows the demonstration on the table before him. Kennelly was an Irish journalist, cameraman and photographer, who co-founded and edited Kerry’s Eye newspaper. He is best known for pursuing photojournalism with his wife, the photojournalist Joan Kennelly, who died in 2007. The Kennelly's were a formidable team, achieving international recognition with their work documenting the 1969 visit of Charles de Gaulle to Ireland. De Gaulle had just resigned as President of France and his exile to Ireland caused consternation and avid interest back home so, armed with local knowledge and a long-lens camera, the Kennelly’s tracked the de Gaulle entourage around Kerry taking a number of pictures one of which made the cover of Paris Match. Frank McNally notes in his article on 'Capturing a General' that, for many years after. the Kennelly’s would raise a toast to the de Gaulles’ visit: “Up Kerry and vive la France!” (Irish Times, 29.05.2013).

Language A language of the resource English, eng Description An account of the resource This undated black and white photo shows Billy Newman holding up a film reel while examining a strip of film against the light. He is dressed in a dapper glen-check tartan jacket accessorised with a flower on the left lapel and is shown in profile smiling as he examines the filmstrip. Billy Newman worked as a films officer for the festival since its inception in 1956. He was responsible for the logistics of film distribution from other festivals to Cork and would personally deliver and retrieve the film reels from the various venues around Cork. The films would be viewed by the festival jury in a studio situated over Paddy Barry’s pub (now Gallagher’s) on the corner of Bridge Street and McCurtain Street. Once the festival was over it was Newman’s job to send the film reels onto their next film festival destination. In the early days most of the organisers of the festival were amateurs and Billy Newman would use a week of his yearly holiday to work for the festival on a voluntary basis. This picture is of interest too because of the film reel itself. Thomas Edison is often credited with making the first camera in the 1890s and film reel was invented alongside the advent of motion-picture cameras. It is traditional to discuss the length of films in terms of ‘reels’ with each reel designed to hold 35-millimeter motion-picture film running approximately 1,000 feet which translates as approximately 11 minutes for sound film. The job of the projectionist was to ensure the smooth transition of a reel-to-reel changeover. The advent of a 'two-reeler' gave the projectionist 2,000 feet of film to play with before the transition. A standard Hollywood movie entailed five 'two-reelers' until of course the advent of digitisation meant the end of conventional movie projectors and the necessity of heavy rolls of film, much like the one that Billy Newman is holding up here. https://corkfilmfest.ucc.ie/files/original/13699b7a426c5560fcf822d902158cf7.jpg 284eeb1a7bc04b8f333a53963d6f1d5c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Towb, on the left, is looking down at his left wrist as if checking the time. The taller Twomey stands on the right, papers in hand, looking forward speaking into the microphone. Harry Towb (1925-2009) was a popular actor from Northern Ireland who was familiar on both screen and stage. He began his acting career travelling with theatrical groups on both sides of the border and following a move to London in the early 1950s his presence on the British stage was cemented. His work at the National Theatre was highly regarded including parts in Neil Simon’s Brighton Beach Memoirs (1986), Tom Stoppard’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (1996), and Nikolai Erdman’s Russian comedy The Mandate (2004). While his filmography is small but rich, it was his television work that brought his distinctive features to the television screens on a regular basis with credits including Dixon of Dock Green, Z Cars, Doctor Who, Holby City, and in 2008 - just a year before his death - EastEnders. Standing next to Towb in this image is the Cork-born actor, Michael Twomey, who was born in 1933. Twomey grew up on the Mardyke and attended the Presentation Brothers College before working in insurance, as did his friend and colleague Frank Duggan. Twomey worked with the playwright John B Keane, and acted in many of his productions including Many Young Men of Twenty, The Year of the Hiker' and Sharon’s Grave. Yet it was for his acting in the two-hander Cha and Miah, with Frank Duggan, that Twomey will be remembered. Wearing an old mac and scarf, Twomey would play Miah, with his friend Duggan in the part of Cha, and they would shoot the breeze about the politics of the day on the RTÉ television show Hall’s Pictorial Weekly. In 2013, along with Frank Duggan and Billa O’Connell, Twomey was awarded the Freedom of Cork City for his “unwavering lifetime contribution to professional and amateur theatre, arts, drama and song.” (The Irish Times, 09.09.2017) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource University College Cork, Cork Film Festival, Finbarr O'Connell Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource ©Finbarr O’Connell.

The thirteen guests, all of whom are smiling for the camera, sit on either side of a long table with the Fianna Fáil politician, Gus Healy, seated at its head. The wooden table is adorned with candlesticks and the guests are having soup and a roll served on patterned tableware.  The identified guest, Barbara Vance, was the wife of Douglas Vance, the manager of the Metropole Hotel located on MacCurtain Street, Cork. The Metropole was designed by the architect Arthur Hill and was opened in 1897. The hotel was originally run by Jimmy Musgrave, after whom Musgrave (now Irish Independent) Park was named for his dedication to Rugby. Until the mid-1950s it was known as Ireland's finest 'dry hotel' because the owners, the Musgraves, believed alcohol should not be served; the ban was lifted in 1956 at the behest of the manager Douglas Vance - just in time for the first Cork film festival. The hotel occupied the upper floors of the building with the ground floor and basement let out for retail. Two shops on either side of the entrance included the famous Turkish Delight sweet shop Hadji Bey run by Harutan Batmazian who came to Cork from Armenia in 1903. Lawson's Outfitters occupied the other unit and the name can still be seen on the hotel's façade today. Edward VII supposedly took high tea on the roof of the hotel when he visited Cork in 1903 for the Great Exhibition of Cork. Douglas Vance took over the running of Metropole Hotel in 1944 and made headlines around the world when he refused a request from the English actor Dawn Addams for a bath to be filled with milk, noting that the Cork people would be appalled since they found it hard to make ends meet at the time.
