1982 Cork Festival of Film programme content

The original 1982 Festival of Film programme is a slim soft card-bound issue measuring 20.5cm x 10cm. The bind is stapled and it has 24 numbered pages. The title Festival of Film was introduced to reflect the limited programming due to financial difficulties.

The pdf version includes an introduction by directors Robin O’Sullivan and Ronnie Saunders where they note that it was "not appropriate to talk of the 27th Cork Film Festival" that year. Festival listings include Angel (Neil Jordan, 1982) starring Stephen Rae and Marie Keane; The Outcasts (Robert Wynne-Simmons, 1982) starring Mary Ryan, Mick Lally and Cyril Cusack; and Fitzcarraldo (Werner Herzog, 1982) which won its director Best Director at that year’s Cannes Film Festival. The closing film was My Favourite Year (Richard Benjamin, 1982) starring Peter O’Toole who came to the festival in its early years.
