Abstract

“Movie Memories” is a Creative Ireland/ UCC funded project that records cinema-going memories of those living in small towns, villages and rural areas of Cork County from the 1940s to the present.

Participants from all parts of rural Cork, from Bantry to Youghal and from Coachford to Clonakilty, have answered the call to share their memories and so far we’ve had stories of village halls transformed into picture palaces; evenings of entertainments in the travelling Cinemobile; school excursions to “holy pictures”; fighting off fleas and amorous suitors in the dark; and falling under the spell of movie stars, from Hopalong Cassidy to Johnny Depp.

These interviews will form the basis of a short documentary that will be premiered at the Fastnet Film Festival in Schull in May 2018 and then screened in various locations across the county.
