1983 Cork Festival of Film programme content

Cork Film Festival, Festival of Film, Robin O’Sullivan, Ronnie Saunders, Liam O’Leary, Rainer Fassbinder

The original 1983 Festival of Film programme is plain white with black text across its front. The rear of the programme is blank. The programme is a slim soft card-bound issue measuring 21cm x 10cm. The bind is stapled and it has 40 numbered pages. We note the title - Festival of Film - which was introduced in 1982 to reflect limited programming due to financial difficulties at the time.

The pdf version includes an introduction by directors Robin O’Sullivan and Ronnie Saunders where they reference the clearing of financial debts and the support of the Irish Film Board. Festival listings include Edna O’Brien’s The Country Girls (Desmond Davis, 1983) with Sam Neil, Maeve Germaine, and Nail Tóibín; and At The Cinema Palace (Donald Taylor Black, 1983) – a tribute to the theatre impresario, actor, film critic, and archivist Liam O’Leary. We note Fassbinder’s final ground-breaking film Querelle (Rainer Fassbinder, 1982) came to Cork in 1982 via the London Film Festival.
