on the occasion of the 24th

DONAL LEHANE, Chairman of Committee
Our sincere thanks to the Guardian and
Community of St. Francis Church who have made
this occasion possible
�The Festival Director
introduces the 24th
Cork Film Festival . .
For the first time the Cork Festival is to be
held without the guidance and inspiration of its
founding director, Dermot Breen. His tragically
early death last October has deprived his adopted
city, the Film Industry and most of all, the
Festival, of a man whose imagination, courage
and dedication combined to make Cork a recog
nised venue for a very important event in the
international film calendar.
Writing in the Programme for the first Festi
val in 1956, Dermot Breen had this to say:
“The Cork Film Festival is in its first year but
as a result of the excellent support given by the
various national associations and production
companies, it promises to be unique in the
history of Cinema. The Council has endea
voured to ensure that the quality and technique
of the films will be the primary interest; that the
international representatives who have honou
red us by their presence will be afforted an
opportunity of discussing each other’s problems
in an atmosphere of cheerfulness and goodwill;
and that the Jury is representative not alone of
experts in the Cinema but experts also in the
assessment of high-quality entertainment films.”
4
�And in his last message in the programme for
the 23rd Festival last year, he picked up that
theme again:
“When the International Federation of Film
Producers’ Association granted our application
for the First Cork Festival in 1956 we asked our
selves 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 outstanding thought was that since film
had become the greatest medium of mass com
munication 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 possible 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.
“This year, in the full maturity of the ideals
that guided us in the beginning, we welcome you
all to Cork again.”
Those ideals are our ideals and what has made
this Festival possible is a determination that the
ideals which he expressed, and through which he
gathered to himself a dedicated group of people
to help in the organisation and running of the
Festival, will continue to be an inspiration. Addi
tionally, here in Cork, throughout Ireland and
overseas, we had evidence of a determination
that the Festival should build on his work for 23
years to become a memorial to him. The name
of Dermot Breen will be forever associated with
the world of film in Ireland and overseas.
At every Festival he paid tribute to all the
many people whom he led. It is most heartening
to be able to record that all those people have
shown the commitment to the Festival which
they showed under his leadership and the same
determination to make it succeed. That is will
do so. is a tribute to their commitment and most
of all, to their hard work. Our friends overseas,
particularly the committee known as “The
London Friends Of Cork” and their sister com
mittee “The Dublin Friends Of Cork” have
again given us magnificent support, and indeed
in some ways their encouragement was even
more important than the money they raised as
we faced the daunting task of building for the
24th Festival.
5
�One again, as they have been from the very
first Festival. Bord Failte Eireann are our major
sponsors. We greatly value their support and the
report which they commissioned on last year’s
Festival has proved to be a great source of en
couragement to us. It also provided a number of
ideas which we are putting into practice this
year. For the first time we have a promise of a
major grant from the Arts Council. We are
deeply indebted to them for this as it came at a
time when our finances were not in a very
healthy situation. Our many long-standing
friends and sponsors have, as always, rallied
round and their vital financial contributions have
enabled us to plan for an ambitious Festival.
The big change this year is that our principal
location is the Cork Opera House. This is some
thing which has been discussed on and off for a
number of years, particularly since the closure of
our old home, the Savoy Cinema. We are deligh
ted that, thanks to the technical expertise made
available to us by our friends in London and the
total co-operation of the Board of the Cork
Opera House, it has proved possible to move the
Festival to this magnificent new venue.
You will notice from the Programme that we
have not, of. course, abandoned the city cinemas.
We are as ever extremely grateful to their man
agements and staffs and particularly to Messrs.
Leo Ward and Kevin Anderson of Abbey Films
who have been tremendous supporters over the
years and who, once again, have placed their
city-centre cinemas at our disposal for the
various programmes of the Festival. This type
of co-operation epitomises what is best about
the Cork Festival, the friendly Festival, which
Dermot Breen always wanted it to be and which
we are determined to retain.
Thank you for your support. I trust that our
programme will have many features to interest
you and we look forward to a succesful 24th
Festival and further ahead to a star-studded
Silver Jubilee next year.
ROBIN O’SULLIVAN,
Director

�DERMOT BREEN
I
The following tribute
written by
Mrs. Nancy A Hitt, long a member of the
Festival's Organising Committee.
When an International Film Festival was first
mooted, the reaction was one of incredulity; a
Film Festival in Cork! with all it would entail
in money, organisation, the absurdities associa
ted with so many International Film Festivals
all over the world. The Organiser, a young man,
Dermot Breen, almost unknown in the film
world of that time. People said he was a good
organiser. Time proved him a superb one. He
had determination, charm, a quick wit and rich
humour which soothed many a stormy interlude.
He had a shrewd appraisal of people; and gathe
red around him a band of loyal workers. They
threw themselves wholeheartedly into all his
plans. No crowd of paid workers would have
spent day and night, as they did. He was always
the one who paid them tribute; in public and in
private as they all knew that they were doing it
for him.
The hurler on the ditch sees most of the game
and being on the periphery of the organisation
for years, the writer had a good idea of the work
done by Dermot Breen. He drove himself and
them to exhaustion at times, yet the ready quip
7
�relieved the tension always. He was very con
siderate and appreciative of all who worked for
him no matter how important or unimportant
the worker. There was always laughter and ex
asperation at the many crises that arose. It is a
great pity that he never had time to write the
hilarious best-seller of “How to Direct a Film
Festival”. Above all. is the deep sense of per
sonal loss at his sudden death. The friendly
greeting and amused grin which made the loads
light for e/eryone.
It would be true to say that behind every great
man is a great woman. He could not have mana
ged all he did without the support of his wife
Vida. Her charm and unaffected dealings with
the famous and the less famous were his greatest
asset. She was always there to entertain and look
after the comforts of the many guests who came
year after year to enjoy our serious but goodhumoured and important Festival.
What Dermot Breen envisaged and created for
Cork was remarkable. As a city we were not
accustomed to the impact of serious film work
nor indeed did we realise the importance of the
media. Nothing exceeds it as a communicator. It
is worldwide. Der Breen hoped to inculcate a
critical approach to this important subject. We
were accustomed to let it wash over us. The Film
Festival altered that. Being a Festival of short
films we were able to see and evaluate films
from all over the world. Short films gave the
potential artistic director a chance to make films
according to his genius and his pocket. It was
always the beginning. For others like the short
story, it was their perfect medium. Der Breen
realised this and the list of short films shown in
Cork in the last twenty-three years is astounding.
Some bad, as in all other arts; some mediocre,
some magical. He introduced us to films from all
over the world.
It was Der Breen who started all this, who con
trolled it, who inspired the magnificent band of
workers to carry out his ideas, who left behind
him skilled, appreciative workers who are pre
pared. under Robin O’Sullivan, to carry on the
tremendous work he started.
When our friends die in Ireland we say- “May
God's blessing be with his soul” and it is a fitting
wish to our late beloved Dermot.

�RETROSPECTIVE PROGRAMME
“CORK —THE FIRST
TWENTY-THREE YEARS”
Of the many memorials to Dermot Breen, none
seems more appropriate than a film programme
to highlight some of the great work which he did
in creating and running the Cork Film Festival.
In this year’s Retrospective Season may be seen
a few of the many films which be brought to the
Festival and it is hoped in future years to con
tinue this look back at the Festival under his
direction.

the Palace Cinema, home of the Festival for a
number of years, on Monday morning. June 25th
at 10.45 a.m. by the Chairman of the Festival
Council. Mr. A. A. Healy, who has been associa
ted with the event since it began in 1956. The
programme for the first morning includes two
prize winning shorts from the beginning and the
very first feature film shown at the first Cork
festival in 1956. ‘A Town Like Alice’. The retro
spective season will continue each morning up
to and including Saturday, at 11 o’clock.
Films to be screened in this programme will
include:

�No matter what
your own place is,
HGW have the
paint for it.
From their modest beginnings in 1885 at
Shandon Works, Cork, Harringtons and
Goodlass Wall have grown to-day into Ireland s
largest paintmakers.
Backed by extensive technical resources
and research facilities, HGW produce such
well-known paints for the home as Uno,
Valspar and Dulux. If your own place needs
timber protection there’s always Cuprinol; or
if your own place is a farm, then Galoxide is
the paint specially developed for all farm
buildings — and safe for animals too!
Even more specialised paints are
sometimes required — and so HGW are proud
that they provided these for many major
contracts including the Whiddy Island
complex, the Pfizer Chemical plant at
Ringaskiddy and Irish Distillers Ltd. at
Midleton.
An associate company, Irish Industrial
Finishes Ltd., supplies industrial and
automotive paints made by HGW to many
large Irish manufacturers including Henry
Ford & Son Ltd., Cork.
So when your own place needs decoration
or protection — think of the locals who are
Ireland’s largest paintmakers. Harringtons &
Goodlass Wall. They have what it takes.

“In 1978 I was asked to make a film of New Zea

land theatre and I decid
decided that rather than cover the

field with an unsatisfactory ‘Magazine’ approach, I
would divide one film between two extremes. The first
would be about a successful, conventional theatre, say
Mercury or Downstage, and the second on a fringe
experimental group. For the latter I picked ‘Red Mole*.
I’d been attracted for some time by their energy, their
innovativeness, their incisive satire and their catholic
approach to theatre that involved, among other things,
puppets, mime, dance, acrobatics, poetry, music, bur
lesque and even fire-eating”—Sam Neill, director.

A small-time magician practises his act in a room
by himself. Night falls : he looks out through the win
dow and sees some events that may or may not in
volve him. This leads to his performing in a nightclub
which may or may not be a real event. His act turns
into a visionary experience which ends up back in his
own room. He finds that he is in a mirror image of
the room.

Although British farmers each year lose an area of

others, have ‘husbanded’ the land too, so that when

they are invisible a year later and crops are growing.

Flaherty moulded locations and local customs for his
purposes, Islanders who participated in the original

THE MAGIC FLUTE
JOHN WAYNE
The film world will remember, as indeed will,
the millions who watched him on screen, John
Wayne as one of the giants of cinema. Many'
tributes have been paid since his death, finally,
from the cancer which he fought so courageously
for so long and it is appropriate that we too re
member this epitome of the film ‘star’.
One of the American entries for the very first
Cork Film Festival in 1956 was a John Wayne
film . . . one of his hugely successful collabora
tions with John Ford — "The Searchers”. And
last year an invitation was sent, through the Irish
Embassy in Washington, to come to Cork where
it was intended to honour him for his service to
the cinema. Alas, he was not well enough to
undertake the journey and now we cannot honour
in person this man who more than any other
meant cinema to people all over the world.
At this time we send our sympathy to his
family, and especially to one of his sons. Pat,
who was such a popular visitor to the Festival'
himself a few years ago.
Ar dheis De go raibh a anam dhil . . . May

�INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF
THE CHILD
The Irish National Steering Committee for the
International Year of the Child commissioned
Cork sculptor. Mr. Patrick O’Sullivan, to design
a special award for the proposed children’s sec
tion of this year’s Festival. Mr. O’Sullivan, an
artist of international reputation, has used
polished Cork limestone and marble for this
work.
The children’s section means that for the first
time youngsters will have a special programme
at the Cork Film Festival, something which is
particularly appropriate because of the United
Nations designation of 1979 as the year of the
child. Special programmes will be held at the
Pavilion Cinema at 10 a.m. from Monday to
Friday inclusive during the Festival and those
attending will be brought from the city primary
schools, by arrangement with, and kind permis
sion of. the various school authorities. Please
note that no admission is possible except as mem
bers of school groups.
The Festival is pleased to be able to contribute
in some measure to Ireland’s ‘Year of the Child’
programme and records a special word of thanks
to the Cork Soroptimists Club for their initiative
in the matter. The support of the National Steer
ing Committee has been most welcome and their
fine gesture in commissioning the award is of
benefit both to the world of film and that of
sculpture.
Without the support of our promoters, Bord
Failte and our Sponsors and Advertisers, Cork
Film Festival could not be
organised.
The
Council and Director express their sincere grati
tude to them. Please ensure the Festival's con
