The Public Enemy showcases James Cagney’s powerful 1931 breakthrough performance as a streetwise tough guy Tom Powers. When shooting began Cagney had a secondary part but Darryl F. Zanuck spotted Cagney’s screen dominance and gave him the starring role. Martin Scorsese screened this film to several cast and crew before beginning ‘The Aviator’. Cagney’s performance today is considered the beginning of modern screen acting.
Bristling with‘20’s style dialogue and desperation under the masterful directional eye of William A. Wellman, this is a virtual time capsule of the prohibition era: taut, gritty and hard-hitting. The famous scene where Cagney crams a grapefruit into the face of Mae Clarke’s face is still quite shocking.
Have fun and come dressed as a Gangster or Moll!

Many consider the world’s toughest physical challenge to be climbing 8,000-meter peaks - in the notorious “death zone” - without the aid of bottled oxygen. Yet it’s a challenge willingly undertaken by a small fraternity of ski mountaineers who tackle the highest peaks in this pure Alpine style. They then lock into their skis and descend the most dangerous slopes on Earth, navigating hidden crevasses, sheer 10,000- foot drops, and perilous weather. In this freshly edited, fast-paced profile of this elite group, filmmaker Mike Marolt, his brothers Steve and Roger, and their intrepid friends passionately push the limits of skiing to its highest frontier. Fourth generation Aspenites whose father was on the 1960 Olympic ski team, the Marolts take us for thrilling rides on Mustagh Ata, on the China-Pakistan border; Ojos del Salado, the world’s highest volcano, in Chile; and a Himalayan trio of renowned peaks, including Mount Everest.

Eight years ago, film makers Damani Baker and Alex Vlack had what seemed like a simple idea: make a film about Bill Withers. Little was known about Withers since he’d left the business of music behind, and his music, which includes the classics “Ain’t No Sunshine”, “Lean On Me”, and “Just the Two of Us”, had left its mark on the world in general and these two filmmakers in particular. But they soon found that access to Withers was not freely granted, and that many doors would open, only to slam back shut. With such limited access, their attentions shifted to trying to produce a concert of his music, which would provide a narrative thread for a discussion of his influence. Then things changed. His door cracked slightly open. First, a four hour interview! Then a trip to his home town of SlabFork, WestVirginia, the place to which he swore he’d never return. Four hours became forty. Forty is now three hundred hours, filmed over two years, a personal journey into the life of a complex, fascinating, and profound man.

As part of this year’s nod to the Irish in the Gangster Genre the festival is proud to present a print of I Went Down and to welcome Paddy and Rob to Dingle.
Man loves woman. Woman doesn't love man. Man goes to jail defending his woman's lover. Man gets out of jail. Gang boss sends him on a mission that he can't get out of. Man gets paired with a not so-bright partner in crime, who has more to him than meets the eye. The two try to complete their mission while man still holds love for woman.
Followed by a Q&A with the film director and producer Paddy Breathnach and Rob Walpole
Paddy Breathnach co-founded Treasure Films with Robert Walpole in 1992. In the intervening time Breathnach (director) and Walpole (producer) have completed numerous projects including shorts, TV series, documentaries and award-winning features. Both progressed successfully from his first fiction short, ‘A Stone of the Heart’ to feature length projects beginning with the documentaries ‘The Road to America’ and ‘The Charlton Years’. Both dealing with the Irish soccer team, they became the most successful Irish sell-through videos ever. Breathnach and Walpole again worked together on ‘WRH’ a six-part documentary series for RTE set in the regional hospital in Waterford.
Breathnach’s first feature film, ‘Ailsa’, produced by Ed Guiney, won the Euskal Media Award for best new director at the San Sebastian Film Festival.
Perhaps Paddy & Rob are best known for ‘I Went Down’. Released in 1997 ‘I Went Down’ won the Best New Director and the Jury Prize at the San Sebastian Film Festival and won Best Director at Thessalonica 1997 and Best Film at Bogota International Film Festival 1998.
Rob produced the successful ‘The Eclipse’ and was the executive producer on ‘The Running Mate’ which was shot here in Dingle. Their feature 'Man About Dog', from a script by Pearse Elliott took over €2.1 million at the Irish Box Office.

Nominated for Best Film, Best Screen Play and Best Actress in a Lead Role at this year’s IFTAs
The film follows Eamon, a quietly disturbed six-year old (Robert Donnelly), on a disastrously dysfunctional ‘staycation' with his narcissistic mother Grace (Amy Kirwan) and his well-meaning but dead-beat father Daniel (Darren Healy). Eamon's monopoly on his mother's affections rules out any revival of fortunes for Daniel - the sexually frustrated spare tyre in the trio. In the meantime Amy only has eyes for a Daniel Craig-like vision of masculinity in Speedos on the local beach. Corkery's stylishly assured writing and direction lay the groundwork for the ensuing debacle; a train of events set off by Amy and Daniel's wandering eyes and hyperactive Eamon's consumption of just one glass of coke...

The Irish Film Board has recently set up a group to look at developing a strategy for the future of the Irish Film and Audiovisual Industry. This group is drawn from the industry itself and the relevant Government Departments and agencies. It is hoped that the group will chart a strategy to double the size of the sector over a period of about five years with an increased emphasis on exports.
The panel will discuss the issue and, along with suggestions from the audience, it will make recommendations to the group charged with developing the strategy.

No one knew exactly what to expect at the National Theatre on June the 7th 2009. There was no doubting the stunning range and quality of the performers or the skill of Ian Rickson, the director, but what would Harold Pinter - A Celebration actually be?
Within two or three scenes, it was evident that everyone was witnessing a performance they’d remember for the rest of their lives. It was exquisitely structured by Ian Rickson. Every actor desperately wanted to take part - Jude Law and Penelope Wilton came straight from their matinee of Hamlet. Collectively the cast delivered a fabulous tribute to Pinter’s genius.
