Title

Cork International Film Festival programme cover from 2006

Subject

Cork Film Festival, Patrick Morrison

Description

The image on the front of the 2006 festival programme is by Patrick Morrison, who was an LA-based Cork-born artist (1945-2013). It is a detail from his painting Metropolis. The picture, which wraps around the spine of the programme, shows a cinema scene with the heads of the audience looking up towards a large screen that fills the page. The lush interior of the Savoy cinema in Cork is referenced by the golden sheen of the bannister and the rich red-gold colours of the furnishings. A figure is standing up – facing towards us – lighting a cigarette. The screen image fills the page – it depicts a female figure lying prostrate, eyes shut, and wired up to a technology that we are not familiar with. We recognise the scene from the 1927 science-fiction drama Metropolis directed by Fritz Lang.

The back cover is a dark grey colour. There is limited text and at the centre of the page, there is a logo for the Cork Film Festival. A male figure, outlined in white, and reminiscent of the Russian workers' art movement style, appears to be running whilst holding up a large red flag in his left hand. As he runs he looks back at the long red flag fluttering behind him.

The 2006 Cork Film Festival programme is a soft glue-bound programme measuring 21cm x 29.5cm with 120 numbered pages.
