I was deeply saddened to hear of the death of the film critic Michael Dwyer. Michael was so passionate and knowledgeable about film. He gave me much advice over the years that I knew him. He wrote often on the Dingle Film Festival in The Irish Times, always showing great support. Back when I was with the Kerry Film Festival Michael was an adjudicator one year for the shorts competition. He not only came to the screenings to watch each short but also requested a copy of each to watch again in his hotel room after the screenings, showing such commitment. My sincere sympathies to his family, I will miss him.
