Fiche blian ag fas. Some of our many friends, old and new, may have thoughts of Maurice O’Sullivan’s Twenty Years A-Growing or even of A. E. Housman’s lines on the twenty that will not come again. In fact our thoughts are not on time past at all. but on our Festival this year which you will find, I trust, local as always in flavour and universal in interest and importance. Cork is the occasion for the coming together of many nations and in a troubled world the occa­ sion is of paramount importance. We are concerned with films of high technical qualities because we believe that the technician, whether cameraman or writer, is contributing more to the film industry than is generally ack­ nowledged. Last year we introduced a special Film Techniques Course for teenagers which was a tremendous success, so much so that we have extended it this year. Once again, this year, Cork International is the only festival in the world that presents awards for technical collaboration in the Features Section. Awards will be made by an International Jury of five members to the outstanding Scriptwriter. Director of Photography, Music Composer. Editor and Art Director of the Feature Films shown during the Festival. Certificates of Merit will also be awarded. 4 �In the Short Films Section the competition under Category D will continue to include films made specifically for television. The International Film Critics’ Award will be made to the best Irish film. Each year Cork honours an outstanding Direc­ tor and this year we are proud to pay tribute to Richard Lester. A warm welcome then to you all to Cork 1975 and my sincere thanks to you all for your un­ faltering support. As always Bord Failte Eireann continues to be the main sponsor of our Festival, but Cork has had many good benefactors, and this year I would like to mention, in particular, the newly formed The London Friends of Cork who in two years have provided generous financial support. You may well ask why Cork is honoured by such magnificent support from this London Group which includes an Australian, an American and a Dutchman. We honestly do not know; but we feel that their work and enthusiasm is in recogni­ tion for what Cork is doing for Cinema and for Ireland’s prestige abroad. Is it not a pity, then, that many Irish firms who could help, do not think in the same way? My thanks to the Directors and Staff of the Southern Regional Tourist Board and to the many friends and sponsors who make Cork an impor­ tant and joyous occasion for so many. A special word of welcome to our friends of the Press. May your stay in Cork be worthwhile and enjoyable. I wish to express my personal thanks to the Lord Mayor and Corporation of Cork and the Business Publicity Association for the decoration of the City during the Festival. DERMOT H.

A Funny Thing Happened On The IVny To the Forum and more recently The Three Musketeers and Juggernaut. Richard Lester was born in January 1932 in Philadelphia, and after a spell studying clinical psychology he entered television; later he embar­ ked on a tour of Europe and North Africa as a folk singer and jazz musician before making a name for himself in British T.V. through the “Goon” show with Spike Milligan and Peter Sellers. The unexpected success in 1959 of his slapstick short The Running, Jumping and Standing Still Film — shot as a Sunday lark — with Sellers and other friends, eventually contributed to his being signed on by Walter Shenson to direct a quickie musical about the Beatles, who had seen the short and had recommended Lester. In the interval he had begun making commercials and directed It's Trad Dad, a pop musical which attracted the attention of some cinema connoisseurs. Lester takes pains with interviewers to declare that he is not primarily a comedy director. “Comedy films are desperately serious to me.” he once stated, and Joseph McBride in a profile of Lester in the International Film Guide 1975. emphasises that this talented director’s films have almost always worked on two levels: the super­ ficial “pop” level of light hearted smartness, rest­ less movement and unremitting audience titilla­ tion; the second, a recondite, almost nerve-wrack­ ing density of texture which does not allow the cinemagoers a moment’s rest if he is to extract from the film, half of what Lester crams into it. Films by Richard Lester to be screened in the Tribute Programme are: 91 HARD DAY’S NIGHT 92 THE KNACK 93 HELP 94 PETULIA 95 HOW I WON THE WAR 96 THE THREE MUSKETEERS 29 �84 U.S.A. - CITY OUT OF THE WILDERNESS : WASHINGTON Production : Francis Thompson, Inc.

As Dr. Pettit states in his Retrospective View of Cork Film International. 21 is a time to celebrate and a time to go back in memory. When the International Federation of Film Producers’ Associations granted our application for the First Cork Film International in 1956 we asked ourselves not only what we expected to gain but also what we had to offer in return. In our approach to the two questions the most sustaining thought was that since film had become the greatest medium of mass communication and mass entertainment the world had ever known it was of crucial importance that an appreciation of film as an art form should be made as widespread as pos­ sible among the public and that film makers should be provided with a Festival that would help them to achieve the technical and artistic potentialities that film offered. We were sustained also in that first year as we have been in the years since then, by the extent of the sacri­ fices that so many have been prepared to make in order to provide films in which they intensely believe. What may have appeared a dream in 1956 we now celebrate. Cork Film International faces the future in the full maturity of the ideals that guided us in the beginning — the more widespread appreciation of film as an art-form and the encouragement of film makers to explore the opportunities that that appreciation and technical developments open up to them. We too are ever ready to experiment and to change in order to promote those ideals. For instance, this year we are not offering awards for feature films. We have so decided because competition for these awards did not give us the results we expected. This year we are honoured to pay tribute to Satyajit Ray. the great Indian producer. By a happy coincidence his first film Father Panchali was completed 21 years ago. in 1956. And we introduce the first of our SALUTE programmes — to 20th Century-FOX — in which we will honour each year a leading world production company. This year. also, sees our Films Technique Course firmly established and going from strength to strength. A warm welcome then to you all to Cork 1976 and my sincere thanks to you all for your unfaltering support. As always. Bord Failte Eireann continues to be our main sponsor but Cork has many friends and benefactors and this year again I would like to mention in particular The London Friends of Cork, inspiring in their interest and support. My thanks to the Directors and Staff of Cork — Kerry Tourism and to the many friends and sponsors who make Cork a worthwhile and joyous occasion. A special word of thanks to the Press. My personal thanks to the Lord Mayor and Corporation of Cork and the Business Publicity Association for the decoration of the City during the Festival. DERMOT H. BREEN. Director. Cork Film International 4 �OOrk/ES I Recalling those early days of 1955 when he first mooted the idea, the Director in an interview in 1967 paid a glowing tribute to the stalwart support he re­ ceived from the then Lord Mayor of Cork, the late Mr. P. McGrath, T.D. Not that the right honourable gentle­ man had any special insights into the making of what was proposed; with masterly simplicity he had asked “what in the name of goodness is a Film Festival?” Mr. Breen himself readily admits to being then far from sure of the answer. But with the Lord Mayor's support he lost no time in the pursuit of his dream. As he set out for London to make contact with the high priests of the film industry, he was fortunate to have guidelines and introductions from two valued friends. Father Cormac Daly. O.F.M.. Chaplain to the Irish Stage Guild, and Mr. Elliman. General Manager of the Rank Organization in Ireland. In London he won the support of Sir Henry French, Director General of the British Film Producers’ Association, and of Mr. K. Windles, Joint Assistant Managing Director of Rank. The auspices looked propitious. The final step in the making of the Festival was an application for approval to the International Federation of Film Producers’ Associations. When in October. 1955. the telegram of recognition arrived the Cork Film International existed at least on paper. international A Retrospective View By Dr. S. F. Pettit. University College. Cork The good citizens of the city got their first intimation of what was afoot with a report in the Cork Examiner of November 8th, 1955. headed “Cork to have a Film Festival next year.” The story ran as follows : “The International Federation of Film Producers’ Associa­ tions. meeting in Washington yesterday, approved of the holding of a Film Festival in Cork in 1956. It was emphasised they would not support an application in 1957. Senor Renato Gualino. President of the Federa­ tion. told a press conference that the Federation does not want the Cork Festival to become a regular institu­ tion like the Cannes and Venice Festivals.” The first sniff of the cosmopolitan air came to Cork with the arrival of a wise man from the East in the person of an Egyptian reporter. Mr. George Wasseff, direct from Cannes, the first foreign reporter for the Festival. It was with full pomp and circumstance that the first Film Festival was opened in the Savoy Cinema on the 21st May, 1956, with an address by the then Minister for External Affairs, Mr. Liam Cosgrave. The feature film was “A Town Like Alice”, and large crowds gathered in Patrick Street to savour the glamour of the stars. Mr. Cosgrave had told the packed audience that “the cinema is almost an international language”, and he went on to envisage an Irish film industry. The local paper reported that “traffic was halted as crowds greet screen celebrities”. A “Star Special” had come from Dublin bringing bringing top Rank executives. Mr. Elliman and Mr. Windles, together with screen celebri- Twenty-one is a time to celebrate, a time, also, to evoke with affection the memory of some of the steps and stumbles on the way to maturity. For the Cork Film International the first step taken in 1956 was at once the most imaginative and the most hazardous, in­ volving two baffling imponderables. How would an Irish provincial city muster the expertise to play host to a Flm Festival and, more dauntingly, how would the sophisticated world film community respond to the proposition? True, the founder and Director. Dermot Breen, had experience in organising the Irish tourist festival. An Tostal. displaying a flair for stage-manag­ ing a medley of events ranging from cycling competi­ tions to symphony concerts. He had also been the foun­ der-organizer of Cork International Choral Festival from 1953 and was to see it through its first seven for­ mative years. But a Film Festival conjured up the gloss, the skills and the great expectations of Cannes, Venice and Berlin. If Mr. Breen’s suggestion met with a prudent reserve from the Cork Tostal Council it was not altogether surprising. 5 �ties Maureen Swanson. June Thornburn. John Gregson, Noel Purcell. Josephine Griffin and Tony Wright. At the station “the party were escorted to a fleet of Rolls Royce cars, gaily beflagged.” When the President of Ireland. Mr. S. T. O'Kelly, officiated at the closing cere­ monies eight days later the Director and his band of voluntary associates had every reason to feel a quiet satisfaction. Sixteen countries had participated with 32 documentary and feature films. The jury had included Paul Rotha and Denis Johnston. Irish charm without any irresponsible blarney. If I sound too laudatory I note that there were delects, the most notable being the standard of the films shown. This, I think, was because of the half-hearted appro­ val of many film companies. The Rank Organization, the Italians, Herbert Wilcox, these and a few others were the only ones who seemed to think the Festival worthy of enthusiastic showmanship to back up the product screened. I predict that this Festival could be­ come very powerful, especially for trade personalities who would like a little serious discussion away from the distractions of bikinis and beaches”. What was the critical reaction? The Irish Tinies re­ ported Mr. G. G. Martin, Publicity Controller for Arthur Rank Ltd., in a most benign mood; asked how Cork had rated with Cannes and Venice, he replied: “Absolutely no comparison, here everything is so well organised”. But film festivals have a habit of throwing up sensations, contrived or spontaneous, and the Irish Press in describing the Cork event as “a triumph of organisation” went on as follows: “some of the Cork organisers’ satisfaction was diminished yesterday when an English Sunday newspaper carried a report that the Festival Executive Committee of twelve people, in­ cluding the Lord Mayor, his deputy, a member of the Senate. Mrs. J. Dowdall. and other leading personalities in the city and county were facing prosecution because none of the 25 films shown had been submitted to the Censor”. But the awesome spectre of the law never materialised! The same paper expanded more fully on the reality of what happened: “It was the Film Festival which brought the crowds, the car loads of youngsters from Kanturk and Clonakilty. the cynics from Dublin, and the impressionables from Wardour and Fleet Streets”. Writing in the same journal regarding the 1957 Festi­ val the veteran critic, Francis Koval, saw the perspec­ tive as follows: "although it would be quite unfair to compare Cork s modestly budgeted Film Week with the mammout festivals of the Continental holiday resorts it can be said without hesitation that it has a number of assets which give the event a standing of its own and a promise for the future. The atmosphere of warm­ hearted hospitality is recognised as one of Cork’s chief attractions; the enthusiasm of the organisers is another; while the whole-hearted support of the truly cinemaminded public, the best behaved cinema public I have seen, is most encouraging. Among those who have been watching the proceedings with a critical eye there are many who maintain that these assiduous audiences were not offered, as it were, their money’s worth be­ cause most countries did not send their best produc­ tions to Cork. There is a grain of truth in it. A dispas­ sionate observer, however, must admit that such com­ plaints are vastly exaggerated. After all, even at the old-established festivals masterpieces do not emerge in large numbers and. as for the 40 or more competing shorts the proportion of these distinguished by aboveaverage quality was roughly the same in Cork as in Cannes or Venice”. From Fleet Street there came a generous and percep­ tive comment when the distinguished film critic, Dilys Powell, wrote in the Sunday Tinies that “Cork was a model of efficiency. Cork has begun and is bound to continue on a scale that can make hospitality personal. The city has the surroundings, the organisation and the taste for cinema”. The trade journal. Kinematograph Weekly, reflected on the first Festival as follows: “Now the problem for the organisers of this under-publicised, pint-sized affair is: will the International Federation of Film Producers’ Associations recognise us next year? That recognition would be the reward for the local efforts that brought the Festival into being. Dermot Breen, the organiser, told me: ‘We worked hard to start it. We were told we hadn’t a hope of getting IFF PA approval this time, but we did. Do you think we deserve it next year?’ I do. This was a Festival of charm. And Cannes and Venice could take serious les­ sons from this newcomer on how to conduct a Film Festival. The films started on time; the officials were readily accessible to the press; the atmosphere was of If the Festival evoked much favourable comment it also had its taste of jouralistic acid, with the now­ defunct Dublin Evening Mail previewing the 1958 event with tart irritation: “I must confess,” wrote its film critic, "to a slight feeling of irritation when that pro­ vincial fixture, the Cork Film Festival, thrusts itself upon my notice. This week they have reminded me that their little fling will take place from September 22nd until the 28th. Speak softly, you common Dubliner. Remove your hat. You are in the presence of something aristocratic!” The Manchester Guardian saw it otherwise: “Dr. John Grierson, who is president of this year’s jury, made the point in London yesterday that at festivals such as Cork the unexpected can always happen. Two highlights this year will be a tribute to Robert Bresson, the brilliant French director, whose film ‘A Man Escaped’ won the Richard Winning6 �ton Award last year, and a visit by Mrs. Frances Flaherty who will present excerpts from a talk about the work of her late husband, Robert Flaherty, whose ‘Man of Aran’ is well remembered”. Specialising as it does in the documentary film, it was altogether appro­ priate that John Grierson came to Cork; it was he who coined the term “documentary” in 1925. makers and the people into one. They watch films to­ gether. browse in each other’s company in bars, and when they need to rest their eyes they take each other on long trips into the softly dreaming countryside. Mr. Breen commands his irregulars with a benign auto­ cracy, and there are 50 or 60 of them: professors of music and post office clerks, brewers and lady pharma­ cists and a journalist or two. Then the regular Army obligingly lends a captain and couple of colonels”. In an interview in Films and Filming in 1959 Direc­ tor Dermot Breen outlined the thinking behind the Festival’s speciality: “We have competitions for short films and we hold an exhibition of feature films. In the first year, 1956. it was a competition festival for fea­ tures as well. But we decided after that to develop this idea of a prestige festival where we would only show good-quality feature films without any competition of any kind. That year's jury included the Dutch director, Bert Haanstra and Charles Frend of Britain who had directed "The Cruel Sea” and “Scott of the Antarctic.” The tribute was to the Italian, Vittorio de Sica, who was present at the Festival. That year, too, saw the screening of the full-length Irish historical documentary, "Mise Eire”, directed by George Morrison for Gael Linn and "The Silent Art” by Louis Marcus, dealing with the noted Cork sculptor, the late Seamus Murphy. Referring to the "Mise Eire” premiere the Times Educational Supplement noted that “similar compila­ tions have so far been attempted only in Russia and in the United States, but neither of them is comparable to the Irish effort in size and scope”. The exigencies of space do not allow of more than a sample of impres­ sions from 1960 to 1975. But any notion that Cork and its audiences were wallowing in complacent turpitude must take account of the report put out by the United Press International regarding the 1967 event: “Angry spectators at the Cork Film Festival shook their fists and shouted ‘Down with the Festival’ on Saturday when the British avant garde film ‘Separation’ was banned at the last minute as not up to standard”. Personalities attending included Trevor Howard. Dame Flora Robson and David Tomlinson. I Again reverting to criticism of the standard of fea­ ture films, in 1970 the Financial Times correspondent, David Robinson, gave his assessment: “In my own ex­ perience of festivals the efficiency of its organisation, jointly subsidised by the Irish Tourist Board and Player-Wills, is unmatched anywhere in the world. There are technical reasons for the disappointing level at Cork. For a start, coming so late in the festival calen­ dar it is near the end of the queue for the best films of the year. Registered as a shorts festival, the regulations of the International Federation of Film Producers do not permit Cork to award for feature films, and feature film producers, by and large, will not exert themselves to send films without at least the prospect of some orna­ ment of the boardroom chimneypiece.” In 1974 Francois Truffaut came to Cork for the re­ trospective tribute to his work, described by the Irish Timts critic, Fergus Linehan, as being “predictably the plum of this year’s Cork Film International”. Complaints of cinematograph indigestion were voiced by the distinguished critic, Matthew Norgate, in 1975. In Films and Filming he advocated the showing of “far fewer films. The closing of the Savoy seems to indicate a drawing in of horns in 1976. and if this pro­ cess includes greater severity on the part of the selec­ tion committee, and a reduction not only in the num­ ber of films shown but in the number of daily sessions, that may be no bad thing”. A familiar figure over many years has been Father J. A. V. Burke from Britain; his retrospective assessment published in the Tablet might fittingly conclude this evocation of Cork and its Festival: “Having attended 19 of the Cork Film Festivals I look back with interest to the past. Since 1956 it has gone from strength to strength. It is obvious that no festival can be a collection of masterpieces, each one is an amalgam of good, bad and indifferent. So with Cork. The fact that 35 countries this year felt it worth­ while to send their films for viewing is testimony enough that it is taken seriously by the film world. Seriously, but not sadly. Cork remains the friendly festival”. That same year the London Times carried a tribute to the Festival organisers which would seem to express a prevailing sentiment among delegates, actors and the general public across the twenty-one years of the Festi­ val’s >ife: “The reason why the Cork Film Festival, just ended, counts more in these islands than Edinburgh or London is a matter of personal engagement. Everyone joins in. With a tiny paid staff and a large private army of volunteers Mr. Dermot Breen, the Director, has crea­ ted the best of festivals, that which draws the film - 7 �FESTIVAL JURY The International Jury for the Short Film Competition is SHEAMUS SMITH (Ireland) ROGER MANVELL (Gt.

So the citizens took the opportunity to devote their energies to the development of trade. Among those citizens were a Mr. Beamish and a Mr. Crawford. Together they started a brewery. By 1792 people in the Cork area were enjoying their first pints of Beamish & Crawford porter. At less than a penny a pint! That was nearly two hundred years ago. Cork has since emerged as a huge trading city, vital to the country’s economy. The passing of time also brought about a change of tastes, a demand for a greater range of beers. c iZ1 _ ■'S g ili^Eg j TIT BEAMISH &CR/^ORDLOTTgL= ■J’WI Today, Bass ale, Carling Black Label lager, Beamish stout and Carlsberg lager are all brewed at Beamish & Crawford’s ultra­ modern brewery in Cork... on the same site as the original brewery which produced that first pint of porter in 1792.

India, like Japan, had been producing hundreds of films a year since 1920, the total output outnumbered that of Hollywood. But the artistic and technical qualities of these Indian films were abysmally low, and there was no interest in them in the international markets. Then with the screening of "Father Panchali" at Cannes the Indian film made its mark, and Satyajit Ray (pronounced Shotachit-Rye) emerged as one of the new and inter­ esting breed of directors. Ray had been drawn to the cinema by many influences. A ravenous film bull, even at the age of six he was proclaiming ‘Til go to Germany and come back and make films". He was one of the founders of the Calcutta Film Society, and he was fortunate enough to meet Renoir when he was shooting "The River". Ray's own family background engendered a deep love of the arts: he was the son of a famous author, artist and musi­ cian. he studied graphic art with Rabindranath Tagore, then was employed as a designer in an advertis­ ing firm. But it was not until 1950 when his firm sent him to Europe that Ray’s drcam assumed actuality. As soon as he arrived in London he contacted Lindsay Anderson and Gavin Lambert and joined the London Film Club. ’In four and a half months’, he later recalled ‘I saw ninety-nine films’. The past-war neo-rcalist movement had a great interest for him and he tells us that De Sica and "Bicycle Thieves" left an indelible impression. But not "La Dolce Vita"; as he put it ‘I don’t like the sordid, and I'm not part of the New Wave trend of to-day.’ When Ray returned to India in 1951 he resigned his job and embarked on his first film. "Father Panchali", the first part of a trilogy tracing the life and fortunes of a Bengali family. After five years of work, setbacks, crises, at the age of thirty-four Ray completed the film which took its place with "Shoe Shine". "Zero de Conduit" and "Les Quatre Cents Coups" as one of the most moving evocations of a boy’s world. When Ray was seven years old his mother took him to Tagore's university at Shantiniketan and asked Tagore to sign the child's autograph book. Tagore wrote: ‘I have travelled all round the world to see just rivers and the mountains ... I have seen everything, but I forgot to see just outside my house a dewdrop on a little blade of grass, a dewdrop which reflects in its convexity the whole universe around you’. Ray’s films also try to catch the presence of the essential thing in a very small detail. Ivo Jarosy said of Ray that ‘his vision is so luminous and intense that nothing appears insignificant, and even the smallest details of his characters’ daily lives become dramatic and engrossing’. Speaking of the Indian cinema Renoir once said to Ray: ‘If you could only shake Hollywood out of your system and evolve your own style, you would be mak­ ing great films here’. Ray has done just that. His filmic vision is a narrow one. his themes are the eternal ones of the old and the new, life and death; there is no portrayal of evil in the Christian sense, and he has jettisoned the staple ingredients of the Indian film — lust, murder and rape. His characters are mostly quiet sensitive people who become vulnerable to poverty and suffering. Many of them, all recognisably of the same type, move from film to film — Amal in "Charulata", the boy in “Kanchenjunga", the husband in "Devi'" — all eternal students, drunk on literature but overwhelmed by life. ‘Trofimovs in a ragged dhoti’ as Penelope Houston described them.

Title A name given to the resource Francis Koval and Dick Beamish Subject The topic of the resource Cork Film Festival, Francis Koval, Richard Beamish, London Friends of the Festival, Martini Terrace, London Description An account of the resource This is a black and white photo of the German journalist and film critic Francis Koval in conversation with the Cork businessman and vice-chairman of the festival committee, Richard (aka Dick) Beamish. Koval, standing on the right with a martini glass in his hand, had a positive impact on the public representation of the festival during the 1960s and was instrumental in keeping Cork on the radar of the international press until his death in 1970. This picture was taken in London at an event hosted by the London Friends of the Festival held at the Martini International Club whose logo is printed on the front of these promotional photographs. The Martini Terrace is an iconic landmark that sits on the top floor of the 18-storey New Zealand House located at the corner of Haymarket and the Pall Mall in London. Built in 1959 the building has attracted controversy for being the only skyscraper in this locality.
