Cork Cineclub Kicks off!

Dan — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 12:03:40 +0000

Hey everyone,
Just letting ye all know there is a screening this Thursday (8th April 2010) night at 8pm, get there earlier as seats are limited. The nights feature is The Shout:

Idyllic Devon locations. Hot, liquid afternoons; a game of cricket watched by ‘mad’ trees, the air punctuated by the cries of peacocks and a terrifying story of a man from the outback, who exercised the right to kill his children and who can kill anyone with the Terror Shout. A man (Alan Bates) who infiltrates the lives of a couple who live in a remote cottage by a rocky coast. A man who takes the wife (Susannah York) as his own property leaving the husband (John Hurt) utterly powerless, until he finds the man’s soul trapped in a pebble. The shout itself …truly disturbing. The ending brings both the story and the the cricket game together in spectacular fashion. At the close of play, you realize you’ve witnessed a straight horror story that is grounded in mundane reality.

Should be a good one.

Christmas Screener

Dan — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 12:21:46 +0000

Hello Again !!

This year has certainly been a difficult one, especially for film. Recession, depression doom and gloom have dominated. In Cork however the trend was bucked and a great selection of top quality shorts were made.

The standard in the Made in Cork Section of the Cork Film Festival was very high this year, and a number of egomotion members had films screened in it. A number of filmmakers with equally good films missed out though. For that reason we decided a screening night should be held, to celebrate the quality , talent and diversity of Cork films.
That night is the 19th of December, the venue is the Pavilion (Corks oldest cinema and now an excellent night venue) the programme includes:
Mr Blue Sky Flash Mob,
Breakfast,
The Tunnel,
Kissing Rachel,
The Park,
Weekend Warriors,
and many more!
The time is 7.30. The cost is €5. The craic will be mighty and the club after is free for all who attend the screening. It has to be over 18’s though, because it’s a bar and because some of the films might not be suitable for younger viewers.

We hope to see as many of you as possible for this one, it’s Christmas, and it’s going to be a cracker. If you don’t make it though, Happy Christmas and a prosperous New year, and hopefully we’ll see you at the next one.
