Festival mascots outside the Cork Opera House
Subject
Cork Film Festival, Cork Opera House
Description
This is a black and white photograph of a street sweeper pushing his cleaning truck in front of the Cork Opera House and being escorted by two festival mascots. The mascots, dressed as film negatives, are holding balloons decorated with the 1996 festival logo which helps us date this photo to the 28th edition of the festival. They are promoting the festival in front of the Cork Opera House on Emmet Place. Beyond them we see the traffic heading towards Lavitts Quay and over to Camden Place across the River Lee. The façade of the Opera House has changed since this photo was taken and in 2003 renovation works on the façade of the building, and the surrounding Emmet Place, were completed. The festival mascots in this picture are standing at Emmet Place which has since been redeveloped into a plaza-like square.
