Chris Gueffroy, was the last person to be shot dead at the Berlin Wall and a new short film called “Whispers of Freedom” portrays his story. I speak with the film's director Brandon Ashplant who shares the challenges of accurately portraying real individuals with deep personal histories. Actors Cameron Ashplant (Chris) and Wendy Makkena (Karin) reflect on research they undertook to authentically represent life in East Germany. The discussion also touches on the emotional impact of visiting key locations including Chris's grave and the site of his death, and the delicate process of obtaining consent from his family to tell this story. Episode extras https://coldwarconversations.com/episode399/ Where can I see the film? There's been various updates since we recorded. The trailer has been released and is available on the Golden Goat Films Facebook and Instagram pages (@goldengoatfilms). The World Premier is at the Sunderland Shorts Film Festival at 18:00 on Friday 16th May at the Omniplex, Sunderland. Cast and crew in attendance. So if you are in the area, do join them. The  Canadian premiere is in September at Toronto International Nollywood Film Festival (TINFF) - which makes the film Canadian Screen Award Qualifying, opening up its route to the Academy Awards (if we're lucky enough!) The Guernsey premier is on September 12th and the Berlin premiere is on October 2nd at the DDR Museum.

I was being such a baby—and I had never been so upset to have actually gotten what I wanted. The handsome man was a distraction— a welcome one. I didn't want to ask his age, but I knew he was older than me, and he was beautiful. I didn't want to scare him away, but to be honest with myself or anything else, this was the first one I might have wanted in a long time—the first real one, anyway, or, somewhat real. Closer to normal along the spectrum, not some famous celebrity or a delusion of grandeur, but seemingly normal, smart, and handsome. Remember my imaginary friend RiffRaff?

Omniplex will soon open the first cinema Rathfarnham has seen in 60 years. And this, when we've long heard the death of movie theatres was / is nigh. So, how has "going to the pictures" survived into 2024, and what can we expect from our cinemas in the future? Newstalk's Sarah Madden reports:

Long forecast to be going the way of the home movie rental business, cinemas have stayed the course and traversed some rocky waters in recent years.Indeed, the sector has remained a cornerstone in our social lives despite all the doomsayers and continues to work its way back to pre-Covid levels.Joining Bobby to give him some of their insights into just how our big screens are faring is:Karl Geraghty, Head of Stella CinemasMark Doherty, Owner, Century Cinemas Letterkenny Mark Anderson, Director of Omniplex

Have you noticed new films getting a shorter theatrical window of just 2 weeks, and then straight to a streaming platform? Will this kill off cinema, with many of us waiting for the film to drop online, or do you still love the magic of going to the pictures? Henry McKean visited the Omniplex in Rathmines Dublin and met film lovers and the industry.

Scott Savage: Lefty, the Checkers Playing Robot "Lefty" was the name of the world's first checker-playing robot, which was located at the Omniplex science museum in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The robot arm would play games of checkers against museum visitors, picking up and moving pieces on a physical checkerboard. Lefty's game logic ran on an Atari 800 computer, which controlled the robot through the joystick port. Lefty was programmed by Scott Savage, the subject of today's interview. Before the interview, Scott digitized his Atari cassette tape with the code for Lefty. The tape had some problems, but Atari community member "atarigrub" successfully recovered the data. Scott also provided scans of several newspaper and magazine articles about Lefty. Both the Lefty program and those articles are available at Internet Archive. Also, be sure to watch the only known video of Lefty in action: Scott and Lefty appeared on the TV show "Dannysday" which aired on KOCO TV in spring 1984. This interview took place on April 14, 2022.

Gemma Winchester was born and raised in Singapore until she was 15-years-old and then she moved to Australia – although most of her 15 years there was spent travelling the world by sea or air.  But two things brought the newly-appointed general manager of Armagh Omniplex to our shores - one sad, the other happy.  Gemma's younger brother has Down's Syndrome. He lived with their mother in Bournemouth and because of his condition they discovered he wasn't allowed to move to Australia to join the rest of the family.  Rightly outraged, Gemma decided to leave Oz and move somewhere in the UK so the family could be together. She stuck a pin in a map and it landed on Armagh.  For this week's podcast, Gemma tells us all about her jam-packed life...

Ready for some semi-recent nostalgia? (We like to think it's semi-recent since the era we're covering is technically in this millennium, but GOD, just humor us..) This week at the Omniplex, we're covering the strange transitional era between 1996 and 2006. We examine the trends as well as the ups and downs of each. So strap in for this wild Disney ride (a few of which were made into movies) through an age of sequels, remakes, book films, and tv adaptations. Visit our website at theomniplex.org!

There's finally.. FINALLY... a light at the end of the tunnel. The Omniplex is open, welcome to our 4th.. and hopefully final.. Quarantine watch cast. This is a special one, as it denotes the one-year anniversary of when the quarantine (in America, anyways) started. And since the vaccines are rolling out and gaining speed, we finally a year later have some hope for some semblance of normalcy in the near future. Until then, Zephyr, Albert, and Austin present what they have watched in the final days of the mass quarantine, some some spectacular, some horribly, horribly bad. Because Albert couldn't remember the link to the MBMBaM TV show link, here it is and have fun! https://vrv.co/series/GRMGZ124R/My-Brother-My-Brother-and-Me Be sure to check out the debut episode of Albert's other podcast, The Order of the Snoot!

Welcome, friends. The Omniplex is open. We aren't normally this heavy on the political side, but the last four years has been tumultuous. Each piece of media produced, whether directly or indirectly, is a product of its time. Now that the horse has officially left the hospital (thank you John Mulaney, for the brilliant and hilarious extended metaphor), we can begin to look at what impact Trump's presidency has had on our film, tv, and music. If media is society holding a mirror up to itself, what we've seen has been very bleak. But in the chaos, we also look for hope and growth at the end of the tunnel.

The Omniplex is open! This week, Austin, Albert, and Zephyr talk the dark comedy musical classic Little Shop of Horrors.

The Omniplex is open! This week we discuss a bygone era. Think back. Back to a long lost time in movie history. Alllllll the way back to the Fall and Winter of the yesteryear of 2007. Think of the greats. Juno. Michael Clayton. Sweeney Todd. No Country For Old Men. And more! Relive these classics with us, and discover why late 2007 era frozen in time for the three of us, and a special time for movies as an artform. QUICK NOTE: We at The Omniplex believe that each episode we release out into the world is a time capsule of the time of its recording. At such, this episode was recorded and released about a month before Elliot Page came out as trans and thus we accidentally deadname and misgender him in this episode. It's presented here as-is because at the time we, like the world, didn't know. But now that Elliot is out, he will be correctly named and gendered from this point forward. We are very proud and celebrate his coming out. Poster Art by Christopher Smith Visit our website at theomniplex.org!
