REAR WinDoWDir. Alfred Hitchcock | USA | 1955 | 112 mins

Professional photographer L.B. “Jeff” Jeffries breaks his leg while getting an action shot at an auto race. Confined to his New York apartment, he spends his time looking out of the rear window observing the neighbours. He begins to suspect that a man across the courtyard may have murdered his wife. Jeff enlists the help of his high society fashion-consultant girlfriend Lisa Freemont and his visiting nurse Stella to investigate.

The film is considered by many filmgoers, critics and scholars to be one of Hitchcock’s best.

PAinTingS: AnTonio JULio LÓPEz CASTRo

López Castro’s work explores issues around the representation and idealization of the landscape, our relationship to it and our immediate natural surroundings. The paintings observe how we are affected by the physical characteristics of the place where we live, while reflecting on the contradiction between our intrinsic connection to the natural world and simultaneous detachment from it. The Artist is interested in how our regular nterventions in the landscape and the use of our surroundings form patterns that define us, looking for a better understanding of concepts such as identity and place.

Born in Madrid in 1972, Antonio moved to Ireland in 1995. He studied Fine Art at Sligo IT receiving an Honours Degree in 2003. Antonio currently lives and works in Co. Kerry.

STELLA DAyS Dir. Thaddeus o’Sullivan | ireland | 2011 | 100 mins

In ‘Stella Days’ - an adaptation of the Michael Doorley book about the Stella Cinema in Borrisokane in the 1950’s - Martin Sheen plays Fr. Daniel Barry a forward-thinking Catholic priest, stationed in ‘Borris’ a poor parish where even electricity is greeted with suspicion. Denied his request to retire to a big city to study, and tasked by his bishop to raise money for a new church, Fr. Barry makes plans to open a movie theatre he calls ‘The Stella’ to benefit the diocese and give his congregation a greater sense of the outside world. But his idea gets entangled in a power struggle that involves the deeply held church, parish and cultural views of the era.

WHEELCHAiR on My FACE‘I got my first pair of glasses when I was seven. A nurse came to the school and tested everyone’s eyes. And so it was discovered why I’d thrown bread to the floating crisp packets in our local pond and walked into lamp posts and said, ’excuse me’. Until that day the world was a swirl of moving coloured blobs. I thought it was the same for everyone. How wrong I was.’

‘Part memoir, part theatre and part stand-up comedy’ (Irish Independent), this delightful story of a myopic seven year old is brought to you by actor and comedian, Sonya Kelly (The Savage Eye).
