Cork International Film Festival programme cover from 2009

Cork Film Festival, Georges Schwizgebel

The 2009 festival programme cover features a painterly image of two creatures looking at each other in a glade or garden setting. The work is by the Swiss animation director and artist, Georges Schwizgebel (1944-), whose paint-on-glass-animated 2004 film L'Homme sans ombre (The Man With No Shadow) won various awards. This image is from his short 6 min. film The Year of the Deer which he made in 1995. The painting shows a doe and a dog squaring up. They circle each other on a green lawn flecked with brown leaves; the shadow of a tree falls over them. The upper quarter of the programme is deep green against which the festival information is printed.

The back cover is an advertisement for Corona Extra beer who were the main sponsors of the festival that year. The image of an ice-cold bottle of Corona Extra beer – with drops of condensation and a wedge of lime inserted in the neck – dominates the length of the blue-coloured page. Transparent film reel is wrapped around the gold beer-filled bottle in a loose circular fashion. The programme is a soft card-bound issue measuring 17cm x 24cm.
