CORK FILM INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT FUND

GRATITUDE This is yet another unique occasion. The promotion of this Gala Evening is another firm indication of the great enthusiasm of “The London Friends of Cork” to ensure that Cork Film International, despite its many difficulties of the past and the ever present financial problems it faces, will continue to play its part in promoting one of the greatest entertainment mediums of our time. But there is more to it than that. The organisation and the final presentation of this evening’s programme is a practical vote of confidence in Cork Film International as an event worthy of the film industry and the significance of the importance cinema plays in our day-to-day lives. I would ask our readers to consider also, the impact Cork Film International has made on the prestige of Cork and on Ireland in particular.

To think that a group of London-based friends, with no Irish connections of any kind, can get together for a third year in succession to provide substantial sums of money to our organisation, must surely fill all of us with amazement. Why they do it, one cannot really say. Maybe it is because they realise that Cork Film International has always endeavoured to play its part in maintaining the prestige of cinema in a way that is peculiar to Cork, namely, in an atmosphere of friendship towards those engaged in film and without any pretension in our acknowledgment of the work they do to provide a panorama of life and people through the medium of cinema. To Mr Tom Nicholas, Managing Director of Columbia-Warner Distributors, London, who provided us with tonight’s film, “The Man Who Would Be King” to Mr George Baker, the eminent actor, who co-ordinated the function and to Mr Eddie Patman, who organised the publication of this most profitable brochure and to all the other members of the “London Friends” group, I, on behalf of Cork Film Inter national, say a sincere Thank You.

Cork Film International will celebrate its 21st Birthday from June 5 to 12 this year an occasion that can only be assured by the support of our “London Friends” and the many advertisers who contributed to this programme. A final word of appreciation must go to Mr Leo Ward and Mr Kevin Anderson of Abbey Films Ltd who kindly placed the Capitol Cinema at our disposal without charge.

The people of Cork must surely realise that no event of great national and, indeed, international importance can boast of having such a hard working group of friends whose support and sincerity is so clearly indicated as it is by this evening’s presentation.

It hardly seems possible that twelve months have lapsed since our last Cork Gala Performance and once again we, the "London Friends of Cork", are delighted to be able to assist in tonight's performance.

Tonight's Gala is the first event in the all-important Twenty-First Anniversary year of The Cork International

Film Festival and we offer our sincere congratulations on your achievements and warmest wishes for the years to

come.

The Cork International Film Festival symbolizes fellowship and goodwill and we pay tribute to the Director and the

organizing committee and all who work so diligently to make the Festival successful.

We believe strongly in your Festival, and we hope the

monies raised by tonight’s Gaia Performance will help to ease the burdens in financing the upcoming Twenty-First

Cork International Film Festival.

We do hope you enjoy tonight's performance. Sincerely,

Tom Nicholas

Any true festival encourages a dialogue between the people taking part, and controversy is the life-blood of such dialogues. Cork knows this to her gain, and to her cost. Some visitors went home from last year's Cork Film International moved to bite the hand that fed, housed and entertained them. But the fears they expressed were real ones, their concern for the future of the festival was genuine. This is Cork's twenty-first year, but she has already come of age. Nothing could be more mature or level-headed than her way of listening to all criticisms, weighing them and, if they are sound, acting upon them. Few are the film festivals that can be stung into action this way.

The changes and amendments to be introduced this year will, I am confident, guarantee a new level of interest and appreciation. The selection committee will limit the number of entries, it will be quality rather than quantity. Perhaps with less trees to confuse us, we shall be able to see the wood in perspective: Cork's retro spectives, her lectures, her Film Techniques course, have all been given less than theirdue in the past. But it is for its pioneering work in short films that Cork is best respected. At film festivals in either hemisphere, talk of short films invariably brings the conversation round to Cork. It is said that the prophet is without honour in his own land and, within Ireland, one senses less awareness of the festival's unique features. Less credit is given.

The Commission of the European Communities have chosen to mark Cork's twenty-first birthday by presenting here a special prize for the short film that contributes most to the mutual under standing between people of different European countries and of the common problems of contemporary society. Certainly it is a timely award, and I can think of no better place than Cork to bestow it.

Academy Award-winning writerand director I John Huston first became excited about the movie possibilities of Rudyard Kipling's "The Man Who Would Be King" well over 20 years ago. But every studio he approached turned it down as too ambitious and expensive. Until, about three years ago, producer John Foreman became infected by the same enthusiasm and got the project under way, financed jointly by two major companies.

;•

L It was made entirely on locations in Morocco with Sean Connery and Michael Caine as Kipling’s shrewd, tough and inseparable rogue-adventurers and Christopher Plummer as the author—the first time he has been portrayed on the screen. "The Man Who Would Be King" is a story to fire the imagination and a film of extraordinary power enriched by warm humour and breathtaking background scenery. Long live adventure... and adventurers!
