Gael Linn was established in 1953 to promote and revitalise Irish language and culture through a variety of means – which would eventually include music, film and educational initiatives. A most successful and accessible early venture was the establishment in 1956 of the Amharc Éireann newsreel, the first regular indigenous cinema newsreel since the Irish Events series of the 1920s.  The series was seeded in 1955 when Ernest Blythe, then Chairman of Comdháil Násiúnta na Gaelige (the national Irish language council), lent Gael Linn £100 to produce a short film for cinema. This “pilot” would become the first of a long-running newsreel series – Gael Linn’s Amharc Éireann. From 1956 to mid-1957, the series consisted of short single-story films that were distributed to cinemas throughout the country on a monthly basis. Their popularity was immediate, and by 1959 the series had evolved into a more traditional newsreel with each issue containing three or four separate stories from around the country. The series continued until 1964, when the immediacy of television as a means of delivering daily news to the Irish public lead to a marked decline in the relevance and popularity of the cinema newsreel.  A total of 267 editions of the Amharc Éireann series were produced. The key production team comprised: Colm Ó Laoghaire (producer); Vincent Corcoran and Jim Mulkerns (camera); Peter Hunt (sound); Breandán Ó hEithir and Máirtín Ó Cadhain (scriptwriter); Pádraic Ó Raghallaigh (voiceover) and Gerard Victory (composer). Other crew members included George Morrisson, Nick O’Neill, Val Ennis and Morgan O’Sullivan.   Although Gael Linn’s Amharc Éireann production ceased in late 1964, its impact on Irish cultural identity still resonates today. The range of Irish interest subjects covered (from hard news stories to magazine-style items) provides vivid snapshots of the rapid development of modern Ireland during a particularly progressive period under the stewardship of T.K. Whitaker, Secretary of the Department of Finance, and Taoiseach Seán Lemass.  Economic and industrial progress is documented through a broad array of stories such as the introduction of innovative prefabrication in schools; the opening of a chewing gum factory; and the launch of Ireland’s first oil-fired power-station. Urban development is seen in the demolition of the Theatre Royal and the old Abbey Theatre, and the building of the Adelphi Cinema. International visitors such as Louis Armstrong, Margaret Rutherford and Princess Grace are captured, while ordinary folk enjoy ploughing championships, fleadhanna cheoil, sporting events, ballroom dancing, hunting, shooting and lovely legs competitions.  IFI is delighted to present 250 stories from the Amharc Éireann series, with the support and partnership of Gael Linn and our app provider, Axonista. Viewers are invited to explore the collection, search using our new interactive map or browse by decade to reveal stories connected to places of personal or historical significance. The films in the Amharc Éireann collection provide a visual record of Ireland in the 1950s and 1960s.   The films reflect the sensibility and sensitivities of the periods in which they were made.  The commentary within some of the films may include language and attitudes which were prevalent and socially acceptable at the time of production but which may less so by today’s more enlightened standards.   Irish subtitles and descriptions kindly provided by Gael Linn, with thanks to Réamonn Ó Ciaráin, Eve Nic an Phapa, Jane O’Connor, and Máire Harris.  Bunaíodh Gael Linn sa bhliain 1953 chun an teanga agus an cultúr Gaelach a chur chun cinn agus a athbheochan trí réimse bealaí – lena n-áirítear ceol, scannáin agus tionscnaimh oideachais de réir a chéile. Ba é bunú nuachtríleanna Amharc Éireann sa bhliain 1956 an chéad nuachtríl dhúchasach rialta do phictiúrlanna ó Irish Events sna 1920idí. Bhí Amharc Éireann ar cheann de na tionscadail luatha ba rathúla agus ab inrochtana de chuid Gael Linn ag an am. Cuireadh tús leis an tsraith sa bhliain 1955 nuair a thug Ernest Blythe, Cathaoirleach Chomhdháil Náisiúnta na Gaeilge (comhairle náisiúnta na Gaeilge) £100 ar iasacht do Gael Linn chun gearrscannán a léiriú don phictiúrlann. Ba é an “píolóta” seo an chéad cheann de shraith fhada nuachtríleanna – Amharc Éireann de chuid Gael Linn. Ó 1956 go lár 1957, bhíodh scannáin ghearra aon-scéil sa tsraith a dháiltí ar phictiúrlanna ar fud na tíre gach mí. Bhí an-tóir orthu láithreach, agus faoi 1959 bhí an tsraith tagtha chun cinn ina nuachtscannán seachtainiúil níos traidisiúnta agus de ghnáth bhíodh trí nó ceithre scéal ar leith ó gach cearn den tír i ngach eagrán. Lean an tsraith ar aghaidh go dtí 1964, nuair a tháinig laghdú suntasac

Flora Kerrigan: Dream Maker

Filmmaker Flora Kerrigan, born in Cork in 1940, attended Crawford Art College before becoming an active member of the Cork Cine Club in the late 1950s and 1960s. Over eight years, she crafted remarkable animation and live-action shorts on 8mm film, earning international accolades and an airing on RTÉ. The surreal playfulness of her animations belies the painstaking meticulousness of their production, while her live-action films, featuring friends and family, are absurd, comedic, haunting and, most strikingly, explore female sexuality and desire. Many of her live-action films are located on the recognisable streets of Cork city. Speaking to ‘The Cork Examiner’ in 1961, Kerrigan explained that “it takes almost 2,000 cut-outs for a two-minute cartoon … it’s work that requires infinite patience but it is very satisfying and less expensive than ordinary filmmaking.” Kerrigan’s filmmaking life appears to have ended when she moved to London in the late 1960s. However, she pursued a creative life, taking photographs and becoming involved in activism through the Women’s Liberation Movement. She also wrote poetry under the pseudonym Eamer O’Keefe, where some of her earlier themes and her interest in graphics and typography elements were carried through from her filmmaking. Kerrigan’s work was recently rediscovered through a collaboration between the IFI Irish Film Archive and Maynooth University. Flora looked after her films minding them carefully in Cork and London and bringing them home when she returned to Ireland some years ago to the care of her family. Her films came to the attention of Dr Sarah Arnold (MU) and Kasandra O’Connell (IFI) during their collaboration on the Women in Focus research project. The films are now preserved in the IFI Irish Film Archive. We have presented this collection with a new music accompaniment by renowned avant-garde free-improvisational pianist Paul G. Smyth and double bass virtuoso John Edwards. Restored with support from ACE – Association des Cinémathèques Européennes and the EU Creative Europe MEDIA programme as part of A Season of Classic Films 2024. This presentation was funded through the Research Ireland New Foundations Grant Number NF/2024/11760. Flora Kerrigan: Dream Maker was identified as part of the Women In Focus project, which was funded by Research Ireland and the Arts and Humanities Research Council as part of the UK-Ireland Digital Humanities scheme. The project was a collaboration between the University of East Anglia, Maynooth University and the University of Sussex, with the IFI Irish Film Archive and East Anglian Film Archive as archive partners.

A Hard Day's Knight

‘A supercilious chess-player becomes obsessed with his white pawn as he sees her getting closer to becoming a queen. In his efforts to catch her, he enters into the game himself, with disastrous results.’ (Flora Kerrigan) In this playful exploration of hierarchy and power as manifested in the game of chess, Kerrigan experiments with film technique and applies emulsion washes to the film strip itself.

The Seventh Day

The Seventh Day is a stop-motion animation depicting the dawn of time and the gradual evolution of the concept of time, through images of hourglasses, clock faces and time-based mechanisms like cogs and pulleys. Eventually, time becomes so omnipotent that humans become enslaved to its demands, acting as time-based mechanisms themselves, harassed and harried across the screen by time’s fussy technology. This title is also featured, without musical accompaniment, in the Women in Focus collection.

Discord

A gothic-infused escapade where slapstick visual gags are playfully tested.

Two men enter a tunnel seconds before a train, only to exit a few moments later, visibly injured. Kerrigan flexes her filmmaking skills, masterfully playing with narratives and story telling techniques. As she explains, it’s a ‘discordant epic, culminating in an execution."

Dream Maker

Epitaph

‘How it feels to be dead! The senses are explored, one by one. Though dead, the spirit lives on; the ideas and ideals of a man live forever. The beginning is the end, and the end is just the beginning.’ (Flora Kerrigan) Meticulously crafted, paper cut-outs of coffins, headstones, eyes, candles, crosses, and psychedelic backgrounds dance across the screen. Sensory functions are gradually removed - an ear is broken by a hammer, a mouth is locked in a cage, a nose is put in a coffin, hands are pricked by a thorn, a heart is trapped inside a coffin – in an exploration of afterlife.

Looking for Lundy

Colonel Robert Lundy has become infamous as the archetypal traitor who betrayed the cause of the besieged Protestants in the walled city of Derry in 1688/89. Each December his effigy is ritually burned in memory of the victorious outcome of the battle between Protestant King William and Catholic King James II. It is also as a warning to all potential traitors. Ian Paisley, leader of the DUP, was especially vocal in popularising the term Lundy to defame all those who were deemed guilty of ‘selling out’ in the push for peace after decades of conflict in Northern Ireland. Gregory Campbell, DUP, sums up the depth of feeling when he says: “There is, within the Protestant psyche, deep contempt for people who betray their principles.” But who was the real Lundy and does his name carry the same potency today when compromise is a key component of the new political discourse? Unionist Roy Garland embarks on a personal journey to discover the reality behind the myth.

You Looking At Me?

Sparks fly in this upbeat and funny film about the lives of Mei, Kenny, Ciaran, and Niamh, four young people coping with a tangle of friendships, family life, and local politics in Belfast. Mei, a local Chinese girl, finds that falling in love with Kenny, a Protestant boy, is far from simple as they try to negotiate their way through their cultural differences. Complications arise for both of them when their relationship overlaps with that of Ciaran and Niamh from the Catholic Falls Road. Matters finally come to a head in a frightening confrontation which severely tests cross-community relations. This ‘made for schools’ drama explores the narrow ground of conflicting loyalties, identities and family traditions. Shining through is the Belfast humour – sometimes unforgiving, but more often full of warmth and humanity. The film is scored by John O’Neill of the Undertones.

Couples from mixed Protestant and Catholic marriages recount the difficulties they’ve encountered in a divided society, including rejection by their families, friction in the workplace, intimidation in their neighbourhoods, and the bullying suffered by their children for choices made by their parents.

NYPD Nude

When New York Police Department officer Carol Shaya posed nude for Playboy magazine, she drew the wrath of many of her female colleagues. They felt that her striptease in uniform knocked their progress back by twenty years. The debate about the crossover between work and private life had already arisen in 1983 when Sargeant Cibella Borges was sacked from the force for appearing in a hardcore men’s magazine. She took her case to the High Court where she was reinstated. NYPD Nude interviews Carol, Cibella, and senior colleagues within the NYPD to discuss the boundaries between private and professional life in the Carol Shaya case.

The Return of Columcille

The spectacle of The Return of Colmcille on the River Foyle in the summer of 2013 was the brainchild of writer Frank Cottrell Boyce, who delivered the stand-out moment of Derry-Londonderry’s year as the UK City of Culture. In a magical reworking of the story of St Columba, the story began on the Isle of Iona several weeks beforehand when the small community of 14 children created the gift of a book which was ferried across the Irish Sea by a 12-man currach, making the reverse journey that Derry’s patron saint travelled 1,500 years before. In a surprise, mythical twist the Lough Ness monster plans a showdown. The excitement and sense of wonder by the thousands who lined the banks of the river was the culmination of two days of colour, sound, dance, and music which engulfed the whole city – reaching a pyrotechnic climax as the Loch Ness monster sailed up the river to confront his nemesis, St Columba, once again.

Ocras

Made to mark the 25th anniversary of one of the most dramatic periods of Northern Ireland history when in 1981 ten men, including elected MP Bobby Sands, starved to death on hunger strike for the right to political status in prison. The events served as a unifying force for Irish nationalists and marked a watershed in the relationship between the British Government and Irish Republicans. The international standing of Margaret Thatcher was affected as condemnation of British intransigence ricocheted around the world. It brought Sinn Féin into electoral politics and greatly influenced their strong electoral position as the largest political party in Northern Ireland today. One of the most extreme protests in prison history is revealed through first-hand accounts of key protagonists and witnesses central to the events of that time. Ocras, made in the Irish language for TG4 in 2006, is similar to The Hunger Strike broadcast earlier that year on BBC Northern Ireland.
