And how did any of this happen in the immediate aftermath of a devastating famine and a cholera epidemic? Also featuring Dr Alicia St Leger, RCYC archivist Paul McCarthy, and some echoes of history scripted by playwright Katie Holly. In and Out of Empire was commissioned by SIRIUS and researched and produced with support from Cork County Council's Commemorations Grant Scheme 2021 and the Heritage Council's Community Heritage Grant Scheme 2022.

Ahead of the Irish cinema release this weekend of the highly anticipated cycling movie, The Racer, Paul Webster spoke to the film's director, Kieron J. Walsh. Kieron is a hugely experienced Irish director who has had a rich and varied career working in Film, TV and Advertising. He is well known as one of the founders of Blinder Films, the Irish company that has brought us some of the coolest projects of the last decade. The Racer is a technical marvel, an engrossing portrayal of a fictionalised version the Irish stages of the 1998 Tour De France. This tour was seen as a low point as regards drug cheats in cycling and became known as the Tour du Dopage and the Tour of Shame. The film is completely immersive with its awe-inspiring race sequences and the amazing, pulsing techno soundtrack that drives them along. In this conversation, Kieron details how they managed to pull this off with only 28 days of filming. This film was due to premiere at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas but unfortunately, it was pulled because of Covid. This film deserves to be seen on the big screen, go see it and support your local cinema this weekend. Screen Daily review: As James Mather’s camera delves into the peloton, flying above and amongst the swarm of riders while they battle for position, it’s also clear that this is also part of the addiction. Close-ups of gritted teeth and sweat-drenched bodies are markers of considerable stress, but they pale in comparison with the sheer elation felt at the podium. That’s underscored by Hannes De Maeyer’s excellent, nuanced score, which mixes frantic beats and gentler Irish strings. And, in the background, there’s often the relentless tick of bicycle spokes which act as an effective metronome for Dom’s narrowing chances of glory. Kieron J. Walsh In 2005, Kieron set up Bl!nder Ltd, a commercials production company and in 2006 he founded Bl!nder Films to develop and produce Irish drama and documentary for a domestic and international audience. For Bl!nder Films, Kieron directed The Savage Eye, Series 1 & 2, a comedy sketch show for RTÉ starring David McSavage.  The show was nominated for an Irish Film and Television Award for Best Entertainment Series and for won a Celtic Media Award in 2012 for Best Entertainment Series. It continues to be one of the most successful comedy shows on Irish domestic TV. With his business partner Katie Holly, Kieron has also produced two features: Sensation directed by Tom Hall and Come on Eileen – both films have been screened globally at film festivals; Sensation had a cinema, DVD and VOD release and Come on Eileen was released on DVD in late 2011. Kieron recently finished Vexed, a television series for BBC and completed his latest feature film Jump, a Hotshot/Bl!nder Films production, starring Nichola Burley and Martin McCann. This saw him return once again to the Toronto International Film Festival where Jump had its International Premiere, and later to Palm Springs International Film Festival where it picked up the Bridging The Borders award. Jump was released in 2013. THIS DECEMBER CINEMA IS BACKKKK!!!

Elmarie was personally delighted to be able to meet up with Naomi Daly in the auditorium of the Everyman as it gets ready to reopen after it's longest shutdown it the theatre's history...and just being in the theatre was in itself a source of excitement! The Everyman Announces Programme of Live EventsThe Everyman, MacCurtain Street, Corkwww.everymancork.com The Everyman is delighted to announce a programme of live performance with a mix of rehearsed readings, comedy, and music. The re-opening heralds a new digital direction for the theatre with Play It By Ear, a programme of shows at The Everyman, which are also available live through audio broadcast to be experienced from wherever audiences are.Naomi Daly, Acting Programming Manager at the theatre says, “we are celebrating the voice as we focus on bringing Cork's wealth of local talent back to the stage along with some of our established favourites. It feels great to be turning the lights back on and throwing open the doors after our longest period of closure in over 30 years. We're really excited about this programme and I hope our audiences will agree that we've ‘knocked it out of the Pairc!'”Play it by Ear could be a synonym for ‘to improvise', ‘rise to the occasion' or ‘to think on one's feet'. The Everyman has adapted to the new experience of performance by creating an exciting and innovative programme that highlights the exceptional theatrical talent in Cork. As part of Play It By Ear, The Everyman presents a series of rehearsed readings, opening on October 15th with Marion, by Katie Holly who was this year's ambassador for Cork County Culture Night. Katie says “I am so pleased and proud to be involved in the reopening of The Everyman's programme; a gorgeous, atmospheric venue that encourages and inspires the people within its walls to make great, entertaining, thought-provoking theatre. I'm also delighted to be working with Laura O'Mahony, Tadhg Hickey and Eadaoin O'Donoghue on a reworking of my first professional play 'Marion', which was first produced in 2016 for Cork Midsummer Festival.” The Everyman continues to fly the flag for local theatre makers presenting The Whiteheaded Boy – a comedy in three acts, by Lennox Robinson and directed by Ger Fitzgibbon. Full of twists and turns, ups and downs, and families fighting each other, the play is as relevant today as when it was first performed in 1916. Not only does it reveal the dynamics of a family, but it is also a pointed analysis of Irish culture.Later in the month, Ger FitzGibbon returns with his play The Four Faced Liar, when the voices of the four faces of Shandon Steeple come alive with a commentary on the city's inhabitants below. The final rehearsed reading is the darkly chilling play The Seafarer, by Conor McPherson, directed by John McCarthy. For music lovers there are two spectacular live music shows to look forward to as part of Play It By Ear. Majella Cullagh, one of Ireland's foremost sopranos, returns to The Everyman with songs from the golden age of musical theatre from the genius collaboration of Rodgers and Hammerstein, accompanied on piano by John O'Brien. Feeling Good with Karen Underwood and John O'Brien brings us a night of heart-warming, and roof-raising jazz, soul, and blues with interpretations of the songs of Billie Holliday, Nina Simone, Dinah Washington, Whitney...

WFT Podcast Panel: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Crowd-Funding! As a special treat, for this month's WFT Podcast, we've delved deep into the archives. On Tuesday 17th November 2015, WFT held a very special event in O'Callaghan Hotel, St Stephens Green where Kathryn Kennedy, Katie Holly, Frankie Fenton and Aoife Kelly shared their crowdfunding advice and experiences with our members. Crowd-funding is increasingly becoming a key part of financing for independent film – with crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter, Indiegogo, and Ireland's Fund It experiencing huge growth spurts in recent years. There have been success stories, but in reality, it can be really challenging – only a few film & tv projects on Kickstarter reach their goal. This panel gave a warts-and-all picture of crowdfunding, via three Irish projects that successfully used crowd-funding to part-fund and raise awareness for their films. The projects are My Name is Emily, written and directed by Simon Fitzmaurice and produced by Kathryn Kennedy, and Lesley McKimm and Jackie Larkin. They achieved €120,000 in 30 days during the crowdfunding campaign for Simon Fitzmaurice's My Name is Emily. The original target was €200,000, and they raised €51,015 on Indiegogo, the rest being made through direct donations via post, bank transfer and online. Frankie Fenton's The Good Reactor successfully raised £50K on Kickstarter. Blinder Films' The Queen of Ireland raised just over EUR54,000 on Indiegogo, from a goal of EU50,000.

Our final podcast from our December 2015 trip to Dingle for Other Voices is with Conor Horgan and Katie Holly, the team behind The Queen of Ireland. This documentary film focuses on Rory O’Neill, better known as Panti Bliss, and was made in the lead-up to the referendum on marriage equality. Director Conor and producer Katie talk about the motivation and process behind the critically acclaimed film, as well as their own careers and upcoming projects. We think we even got a promise from Katie to bring Grace Jones to Dingle in 2016 so we might hold her to that one.
