Breen is smiling up at the camera while seated at a large desk in front of an equally large poster advertising 'Tostal Corcai 1957' (Cork Pageant or Festival of Cork). The poster depicts the Cork coat of arms with a ship sailing between two towers. The arms represent the City as a safe harbour for shipping. To the right of the towers we see three birds in relief, one of which has a strip of film in its beak and the other a traditional Irish harp. The Irish harp has been used as a symbol of Irish life for centuries. At the lower edge of the poster, we can make out the stenciled names of countries from all around the world including Australia, Canada, France, GB, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Malaya, Pakistan, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, and USA.

Title A name given to the resource Dermot Breen in front of a poster for An Tóstal Subject The topic of the resource Cork Film Festival, Dermot Breen, Tóstal, Poster, Joan Denise Moriarty, Cork Ballet Company, Frank Sanquest, Cork Symphony Orchestra Description An account of the resource This is an undated black and white photo of a young Dermot Breen, customary cigarette in hand, posing in front of a large poster advertising the various aspects of the Tóstal festival. Tóstal was a pageant held around Ireland to celebrate Ireland’s national image through song, dance, and film. It was inaugurated in Cork in 1953, during which time Breen was on the Tóstal committee before he went on to found the film festival in 1956, running it until his death in 1978. The poster has an image of a ballet dancer which references the Cork Ballet Company founded by Joan Denise Moriarty in 1947. The ballet gave its first performance in June 1947 at the Cork Opera house under the baton of Aloys Fleischmann and the Cork Symphony Orchestra. The stage scenery was by Marshall Huston and Frank Sanquest whose image also features in the festival archive. The pictorial reference to film on the left of the picture, with a ribbon of film negative topped with Shandon Tower, helps us date this picture to at least the late-fifties when Breen founded the film festival.

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 Dermot Breen presenting an award Subject The topic of the resource Cork Film Festival, Dermot Breen, Award Description An account of the resource This black and white photo shows the festival director presenting a St Finbarr statuette to an unidentified recipient.  The St Finbarr statuette was designed by the Cork-born sculptor Seamus Murphy RHA. A small number of festival programmes (eg <a href="https://corkfilmfest.ucc.ie/items/show/630">1970</a>) have a short history of the legend of St Finbarr. They note that St Finbarr is the patron saint of the Diocese of Cork; born in the sixth century at Raithleann near Bandon, he was the son of Amergin, a metal worker. Finnbarr founded a monastic settlement at Lough Irce, which we know as Gougane Barra – the source of the River Lee in Cork.
