Film Festival DONAL LEHANE, Chairman of Committee

Our sincere thanks to the Guardian and

Community of St. Francis Church who have made this occasion possible


The Festival Director introduces the 23rd Cork Film Festival When the International Federation of Film Producers’ Association granted our application for the First Cork Film Festival in 1956 we asked ourselves not only what we expected to gain but also what we had to offer in return. In our approach to the two questions the most outstand­ ing thought was that since film had become the greatest medium of mass communication and mass entertainment the world had ever known, it was of crucial importance that an appreciation of film as an art form should be made as wide­ spread as possible among the public and that film makers should be provided with a Festival that would help them to achieve the technical and artistic potentialities that film offered. This year, in the full maturity of the ideals that guided us in the beginning, we welcome you all to Cork 1978. and my sincere thanks to all of you for your unfaltering support. We have films from 27 countries and some special programmes for your interest and entertainment. During the course of the last Film Festival a spontaneous group came together and formed themselves into a Working Party to promote and develop the Cork Film Festival as one of the major festivals in the world. These people were not Irish, in fact they were all from overseas and is was good for us psychologically and otherwise to know that our many friends from all parts of the world were anxious that Cork should remain and should be developed as one of the great festivals of the present time. In accordance with

4


the discussions we had with this Working Party we have devised a three-year plan which we hope will culminate in 1980. which incidentally will be our Silver Jubilee, in one of the most effective and successful events in the world of Cinema. “The London Friends Of Cork” was established a number of years ago to raise funds towards the Cork Film Festival and this they have done magnificently. In 1976 a "Dublin Friends of Cork” was established and they also have raised considerable funds towards the development of the Cork Film Festival. So. it is obvious, that our international friends are determined that the Cork Film Festival will remain as one of the major friendly festivals in the world. Surely this is an example of what we in Ireland should be doing to develop the Cork Film Festival.

We have indeed many friends in Ireland and my thanks go to Bord Failte Eireann who con­ tinue to be our main sponsors but while we thank Bord Failte we must not forget the numerous business organisations who are backing us, the numerous people who take advertising in our pro­ gramme and most important of all you our patrons who have continued to support us over the last 23 years. We are grateful to the Directors and Staff of Cork Kerry Tourism and to the many travel organisations who have always been ready to help us. In this context I would particularly like to mention British Airways who have shown their interest in Cork in a most practical way on this occasion and on many previous occasions. Cork is truly international, it has many inter­ national friends, it has much support from the Film Industry and it has much support from the Press but without the many many voluntary workers who labour so hard to keep the Festival going we would not achieve the success we have attained over the last 23 years.

Bhardwaj started his own production unit along with his wife Shashi Ganta Bhardwaj. In the year 1964 a docu­ mentary titled “The Fifth Eye" was released and caught the attention of the Press. Bhardwaj was taken on the panel of approved producers of Films Division, Government of India, a major produc­ tion and distribution organisation. Apart from ambitious award-winning ventures.

No matter what your own place is 9 HGW have the paint for it. From their modest beginnings in 1885 at Shandon Works, Cork, Harringtons and Goodlass Wall have grown to-day into Ireland’s largest paintmakers.

Backed by extensive technical resources and research facilities, HGW produce such well-known paints for the home as Uno, Valspar anl Dulux. If your own place needs timber protection there's always Cuprinol; or if your own place is a farm, then Galoxide is he paint specially developed for all farm uildings — and safe for animals too! Even more specialised paints are sometimes required — and so HGW are proud that they provided these for many major contracts including the Whiddy Island complex, the Pfizer Chemical plant at Ringaskiddy and Irish Distillers Ltd. at Midleton. An associate company. Irish Industrial Finishes Ltd., supplies industrial and automotive paints made by HGW to many large Irish manufacturers including Henry Ford & Son Ltd., Cork.

So when your own place neels decoration or protection — think of the locals who are Ireland’s largest paintmakers. Harringtons & Goodlass Wall. They have what it takes.

CONSERVATION To provide the power which is essential to our civilisation generation stations must be built, transmission lines must be erected, rivers must be harnessed. In doing these things the ESB keeps the environment constantly in mind. Care is taken to restore areas which have been disturbed. New amenities and new beauty are created, new lakes are formed.

Landscaping, tree and flower planting at ESB stations, rearing and planting out young salmon and trout in rivers anl lakes — these are just some of the ways in which the ESB conserves and improves the environment for the people whom it serves.
