The American I Was Never: A Photographic Exhibition by Rob Smits

Chris Keuleman is a Third Culture Kid - he grew up in countries all over the world but always imagined that he was really American. When he finally arrives in New Jersey his 'homecoming' is documented by photographer Rob Smits. Keuleman's documentary, which will screen during the festival, consists of a series of these photographs accompanied by music and text. Rob Smits' original photographs will be exhibited in the Triskel Arts Centre for the duration of the festival.

Coming Soon - The Strange World Of Irish Cinema Trailers

For many years film enthusiast Paul Balbirnie has been collecting Irish film memorabilia, both in Ireland and in Los Angeles where he worked for many years with the American Cinematheque. Paul has an extensive archive of Irish related film prints, posters, lobby cards and trailers.

In 2002 Cork Film Festival screened a print of the 1959 Walter Macken drama, Home Is The Hero from the Balbirnie Collection This year we are delighted to present a novel and entertaining pro-gramme of Irish film trailers selected by Paul from his collection.

These include trailers for Shake Hands With The Devil, Nightfighters, Johnny Nobody, Ulysses, Jacqueline, Rooney, Paddy, Wedding Night, Flight of the Doves, Quackser Fortune Has A Cousin In The Bronx, The Fighting Prince Of Donegal, Where's Jack?, I Thank A Fool, The Purple Taxi, Excalibur, High Spirits, Rattle and Hum and, worth the price of admission alone, the trailer for Rawhead Rex!

Paul will be present to introduce what promises to be a fascinating programme.
