În acest episod, vorbesc despre alegerile locale și parlamentare din 2008, dar și despre prezidențialele din 2009. Procentele obținute de partidele politice se încăpățânează să rămână la fel de echilibrate, continuând criza politică și incapacitatea de a forma o majoritate clară în Parlament. La începutul crizei economice și la cererea FNI, guvernul Boc ia primele măsuri economice neplăcute. Campania electorală pentru prezidențialele din 2009 se remarcă printr-un discurs politic josnic. După rezultatele primului tur, liderii PNL și PSD se aliază împotriva lui Traian Băsescu. Are loc "faza meciului" la dezbaterea finală dinaintea alegerilor prezidențiale.

Uniunea Europeană începe o colaborare strânsă cu România, în scopul unei viitoare aderări. Are loc prăbușirea Fondului Național de Investiții, într-un scandal ce pare să amenințe întregul sistem bancar și financiar. Un alt scandal, centrat în jurul lui Costea îi va...

Cu "dreapta" fragmentată și în derivă, PDSR recucerește o parte din electorat. Dar marea surpriză o constituie PRM și Vadim Tudor, care reușesc să capteze atenția și voturile românilor printr-o atitudine frapantă, inflamatorie și extremistă.

Shane (Patrick Kielty) has exiled himself in Ballywalter following the break-up of his marriage, but now he's trying to get his life back on track by enrolling in a stand-up comedy course. When Shane calls a taxi to get him to his classes, Eileen answers and a surprising connection is made. As the two spend time together shuttling back and forth, a beautiful friendship develops, leading them both to a moment of realisation. Shane reintegrates, and Eileen makes peace with herself and who she really is. Finally, she can stop running and just drive.

He directed Moth at the HighTide Festival, and at the Bush Theatre, where it was a TimeOut Critics' Choice in the summer of 2013. In 2019 he directed Venice Preserved at the Royal Shakespeare Company. His production of The Reluctant Fundamentalist was nominated for The Carol Tambor Award and the Amnesty International Freedom of Expressions Award at the 2018 Edinburgh Fringe, with lead actor Akshay Sharan winning The Stage Debut Award. Eileen (Seana Kerslake) is a caustic, unrepentant university drop-out whose dreams of a successful life in London have fallen by the wayside. Back at home with her mum, she makes ends meet by working as an unlicensed driver in her ex-boyfriend's minicab. Shane (Patrick Kielty) has exiled himself in Ballywalter following the break-up of his marriage, but now he's trying to get his life back on track by enrolling in a stand-up comedy course. When Shane calls a taxi to get him to his classes, Eileen answers and a surprising connection is made. As the two spend time together shuttling back and forth, a beautiful friendship develops, leading them both to a moment of realisation. Shane reintegrates, and Eileen makes peace with herself and who she really is. Finally, she can stop running and just drive. Ballywalter is a life-affirming story about the unexpected connections that can change the course of our lives. We're proud to support Minding Creative Minds here at Film Network Ireland.

A huge thank you to Frank Kelly and his team for accommodating FNI and allowing us to delve into the world of The Boyne Valley International film Festival and the fantastic movies that were screened. The standard of the shorts this year has been nothing short of incredible. Guests include: Kellie Blaise - Writer and lead actress of "Women in Retrograde." This fascinating short film tackles mental health, hope, and motherhood, weaving a touching story around Zelda Fitzgerald, a forgotten figure from the 1920s. Mo O'Connell - Multi-talented writer, director, producer, and actress. We discussed her powerful projects "Brusie" and "Mask." "Brusie" is an intense and raw depiction of domestic violence through interpretive dance, while "Mask" is a suspenseful short with a captivating twist. Highly recommended viewing! Johnathan Hughes - Writer and director of "La Tumba" and "The Talk." "The Talk" is a hilarious queer film that cleverly surprises viewers, while "La Tumba" humorously portrays the language barrier between a Spanish woman and a park ranger during a traditional Spanish burial. Garret Daly - Director, writer, and producer of "Nothing to Declare" and "Personal Space." "Nothing to Declare" is a wild documentary that recounts the incredible journey of two kids venturing to New York alone. Meanwhile, "Personal Space" is a documentary about a determined 16-year-old aspiring to become a Formula One driver. Zoe Brennan - Producer of "Baby Steps," a heartwarming short film directed by renowned award-winning director Hannah Mamalis. The film beautifully explores the joys and challenges of first-time motherhood with a delightful visual presentation. Rob Earley and Mark Griffin - Producers of "Double Yellow." This intense and thrilling short, funded through the actors as creator scheme with Bow Street, keeps viewers on the edge of their seats as two brothers embark on a bank heist.

Veranderende Rol van de Verpleegkundige (10 juni 2023)

Nu we in Nederland steeds ouder worden en nu de ziektebeelden van patiënten alleen maar complexer worden, neemt de druk op de ruim 220.000 verpleegkundigen die ons land telt alleen maar toe. Tegelijkertijd verlaat nog altijd 40 procent van de startende verpleegkundigen weer binnen twee jaar het beroep, en dat terwijl het personeelstekort in met name ziekenhuizen en verpleeghuizen de komende jaren alleen nog maar harder stijgt dan aanvankelijk gedacht. De uitdagingen in de zorg vragen de komende decennia meer dan ooit om verpleegkundige oplossingen, maar hoe zorgen we ervoor dat er niet alleen nu voldoende handen aan het bed komen, maar juist ook in de toekomst? Op verschillende plekken in het land is de rol van de verpleegkundige aan het veranderen. Waar de verpleegkundige voorheen vaak werd gezien als het hulpje van de arts, wordt er op steeds meer plekken geprobeerd om die hiërarchie in de zorg te bevechten en om verpleegkundigen meer zeggenschap te geven over hun werk. Maar hoe werkt dat in de praktijk? In De Publieke Tribune spreekt Coen Verbraak met verpleegkundigen over de ontwikkelingen in hun beroepsgroep. Hoe zorgen zij ervoor dat ze gehoord worden? Dat er van hun unieke kennis voldoende gebruik gemaakt wordt? En dat er in het belang van het welzijn van zowel de patiënt als de verpleegkundige niet alleen óver hen wordt beslist, maar ook dóór hen? Te gast:  * Susette Lataster werkt al tien jaar als verpleegkundige, eerst in de ouderenzorg in Limburg en sinds 2014 op de afdeling longgeneeskunde van het Groene Hart-ziekenhuis in Gouda. Sinds 2021 is ze als onderzoeker verbonden aan Nurses Know Better, wat een verandercultuur op ziekenhuisafdelingen teweeg wil brengen en dat als kernboodschap heeft: verbeter de zorg, luister naar de verpleegkundige; * Harm van Noort is lange tijd verpleegkundige geweest en sinds 2015 verpleegkundig wetenschapper op de chirurgische oncologie-afdeling van het Radboudumc in Nijmegen, waar hij patiëntenzorg met onderzoek combineert. In zijn onderzoek richt hij zich op verpleegkundige zorg voor optimaal herstel van voedingsinname met behulp van data en technologie; * Anita de Vette is al dertig jaar verbonden aan het Amsterdamse OLVG. Eerst binnen de Inservice A-opleiding, daarna als dialyseverpleegkundige, later nog als verpleegkundige specialist. Daarvoor houdt ze zich veel bezig met hemodialyse-patiënten en de screening voor niertransplantaties. Sinds 2021 zet ze zich als voorzitter van het verpleegkundig stafbestuur in voor meer zeggenschap voor verpleegkundigen; * Hugo Schalkwijk wil als historicus binnen beroepsgroep V&VN de geschiedenis van de verpleging beter in beeld brengen. Voor het online museum FNI, dook hij in de verhalen van de pioniers in de aidsverpleging in Nederland in de jaren '80 en '90. Momenteel doet hij promotieonderzoek naar de verpleegkundige beroepsontwikkeling (en de veranderende beeldvorming) in de afgelopen vijftig jaar. --- Presentatie: Coen Verbraak Redactie: Sjoerd Alders Eindredactie: Bram Vollaers ℹ️ Meer info over deze aflevering vind je hier (https://www.human.nl/de-publieke-tribune/luister/overzicht/2023/aflevering-101.html). ✉️ Reageren op deze aflevering?

We'd like to take a moment to mark the sad passing of two members of the Film and TV Community who tragically passed away in the last couple of weeks. Donal Courtney,  a wonderful actor, director and facilitator at the age of 52 and the marvel that was Michelle Forde, writer, producer and artist. Taken too soon after a brave battle with cancer at the young age of 38. Our deepest sympathies to all their loved ones.  On the show this time around is write/director, Colm Bairèad. Director of the stunninf  “An Cailín Ciúin." Still in cinemas and packing them in around the country. Go see it! Colm was born in Dublin and raised bilingually through Irish and English. Over the past fifteen years he has directed a number of multi-award-winning short films and many hours of documentary television for RTÉ, TG4 and TV3/Virgin Media. These include the four-part IFTA-nominated series The Joy (TV3), the award-winning feature-length drama documentary The Maamtrasna Murders (TG4), the IFTA award-winning docudrama Cumann na mBan – Women of the Revolution (TG4) and the IFTA-nominated documentary Frank O'Connor - Idir Dhá Shruth. Colm's 2013 fly-on-the-wall doc series An Ceoldráma (The Musical) was nominated for three IFTA Awards, including Best Director. In 2012, Colm received a distinction from the Screen Director's Guild of Ireland for his contribution to Irish-language film-making. Colm made his narrative feature debut with An Cailín Ciúin (The Quiet Girl), an adaptation of Irish author Claire Keegan's celebrated story, Foster. The film premiered at the 72nd Berlinale where it won the Grand Prix of the International Jury of the Generation Kplus programme. It opened the 2022 Dublin International Film Festival, winning the Audience Award and the Dublin Film Critics' Circle Award for Best Irish Film. Colm also received an Aer Lingus Discovery Award during the festival. The film scooped 7 Irish Film & Television Academy Awards including Best Film, Best Director and Best Actress.

Joining @paulwebsterfilms this week on Ireland's Film Industry Podcast FNI Wrapchat is super director Bob Gallagher. Bob Gallagher is a director, writer and cinematographer based in Dublin. He has been declared a ‘Good Soldier of Cinema' by Werner Herzog and has been described by Rough Trade's Geoff Travis as a filmmaker who ‘can be lyrical, as well as forensically evil'.  Bounding through styles and subjects, often in enthusiastic collaboration, his work traverses personal boundaries and teases out emotional soft spots.  His visual stories are marked by a polished absurdity and usually an element of the fantastic. With a passion for exploration, Bob's music video work has found him partaking in shamanic rituals, recreating Caravaggio's studio, walking 200km across Ireland, consulting a dominatrix, and cutting up a corpse. Amongst a prolific output of music videos, and commercial work, Bob has directed three short films to date, marrying striking visuals with deftly observed, character driven narratives.  Early in 2017 Bob was invited to Cuba to participate in a 10 day practical workshop with Werner Herzog, resulting in two short documentary films ‘The Impossible Flight of the Stone' and ‘Salon'.  Bob is also a photographer, specialising in 3D images shot on 35mm film . He has exhibited as an artist-in-residence at the Darkroom, and as part of Photo Ireland Festival. He recently completed an artist residency in D-Light Studios Dublin.
