20th CORK FILM INTERNATIONAL 1975

SATURDAY, 7 JUNE TO

SATURDAY, 14 JUNE

Programme 20p

The Festival Director introduces the 20th Cork Film International. .. Fiche blian ag fas. Some of our many friends, old and new, may have thoughts of Maurice O’Sullivan’s Twenty Years A-Growing or even of A. E. Housman’s lines on the twenty that will not come again. In fact our thoughts are not on time past at all. but on our Festival this year which you will find, I trust, local as always in flavour and universal in interest and importance. Cork is the occasion for the coming together of many nations and in a troubled world the occa sion is of paramount importance. We are concerned with films of high technical qualities because we believe that the technician, whether cameraman or writer, is contributing more to the film industry than is generally ack nowledged. Last year we introduced a special Film Techniques Course for teenagers which was a tremendous success, so much so that we have extended it this year.

Once again, this year, Cork International is the only festival in the world that presents awards for technical collaboration in the Features Section. Awards will be made by an International Jury of five members to the outstanding Scriptwriter. Director of Photography, Music Composer. Editor and Art Director of the Feature Films shown during the Festival. Certificates of Merit will also be awarded. 4

In the Short Films Section the competition under Category D will continue to include films made specifically for television. The International Film Critics’ Award will be made to the best Irish film. Each year Cork honours an outstanding Direc tor and this year we are proud to pay tribute to Richard Lester. A warm welcome then to you all to Cork 1975 and my sincere thanks to you all for your un faltering support. As always Bord Failte Eireann continues to be the main sponsor of our Festival, but Cork has had many good benefactors, and this year I would like to mention, in particular, the newly formed The London Friends of Cork who in two years have provided generous financial support.

You may well ask why Cork is honoured by such magnificent support from this London Group which includes an Australian, an American and a Dutchman. We honestly do not know; but we feel that their work and enthusiasm is in recogni tion for what Cork is doing for Cinema and for Ireland’s prestige abroad. Is it not a pity, then, that many Irish firms who could help, do not think in the same way? My thanks to the Directors and Staff of the Southern Regional Tourist Board and to the many friends and sponsors who make Cork an impor tant and joyous occasion for so many.

A special word of welcome to our friends of the Press. May your stay in Cork be worthwhile and enjoyable. I wish to express my personal thanks to the Lord Mayor and Corporation of Cork and the Business Publicity Association for the decoration of the City during the Festival.

Director, Cork Film International

A TRIBUTE TO RICHARD LESTER The spotlight at this year’s Festival is on Richard Lester, the noted U.S. born director, who was responsible for such films as Help, How 1 1Fo,i The War, Petulia, Hard Day’s Night, The Knack, The Bed Sitting Room, Mouse On The Moon. A Funny Thing Happened On The IVny To the Forum and more recently The Three Musketeers and Juggernaut. Richard Lester was born in January 1932 in Philadelphia, and after a spell studying clinical psychology he entered television; later he embar ked on a tour of Europe and North Africa as a folk singer and jazz musician before making a name for himself in British T.V. through the “Goon” show with Spike Milligan and Peter Sellers. The unexpected success in 1959 of his slapstick short The Running, Jumping and Standing Still Film — shot as a Sunday lark — with Sellers and other friends, eventually contributed to his being signed on by Walter Shenson to direct a quickie musical about the Beatles, who had seen the short and had recommended Lester. In the interval he had begun making commercials and directed It's Trad Dad, a pop musical which attracted the attention of some cinema connoisseurs. Lester takes pains with interviewers to declare that he is not primarily a comedy director. “Comedy films are desperately serious to me.” he once stated, and Joseph McBride in a profile of Lester in the International Film Guide 1975. emphasises that this talented director’s films have almost always worked on two levels: the super ficial “pop” level of light hearted smartness, rest less movement and unremitting audience titilla tion; the second, a recondite, almost nerve-wrack ing density of texture which does not allow the cinemagoers a moment’s rest if he is to extract from the film, half of what Lester crams into it. Films by Richard Lester to be screened in the Tribute Programme are:
