Description

This is a black and white photo of the festival director Dermot Breen and festival friend Tom Nicholas in front of a poster advertising the American horror film The Exorcist (William Friedkin, 1973), starring Ellen Burstyn and Max von Sydow. Breen and Nicholas are turned towards each other in mid conversation as Breen gesticulates towards the poster. Tom Nicholas was a founding member of the London Friends of Cork and often hosted events in London for the festival. The 1973 release date of The Exorcist helps us provisionally date this photo.
