Cork International Film Festival programme cover from 2005

Cork Film Festival, Patrick Morrison

The image on the 2005 festival programme cover is by the artist Patrick Morrison, who was an LA-based Cork-born artist (1945-2013). It is a detail from his painting Mambo Negro which is in the collection of the actor Peter Weller. (The full painting is shown on page 7 of the programme.) The detail, which wraps around the spine of the programme, shows a scene from the Savoy cinema with the heads of the audience, on the left of the programme, looking up to a large screen which fills the page of the programme. The lush interior of the Savoy is referenced by the golden sheen of the bannister and the rich red-gold colours of the furnishing. The screen image fills the page – it depicts a rather louche couple gazing at each other intently. He has his arm around her waist as she sits close to him – head slightly lowered – her long eyelashes shielding her eyes.

The back cover is a deep maroon colour. There is limited text and, at the centre of the page, there is a logo for the Cork Film Festival. A male figure appears to be running, holding up a flag in his left hand. As he runs he looks back at the long red flag fluttering behind him. The programme is a soft glue-bound programme measuring 21cm x 29.5cm with 136 numbered pages.
