I am pretty happy to announce that I have been chosen to volunteer for the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival!!!! So if you are in Dublin during February 17-27 buy your tickets! For those over the pond I will keep an update on the films that will be shown.
The New Year has greatly confirmed that you can't hate on life, not when it generates hopeful (yes I am using a term I love to hate!) possibilities...
I have some more really great news to share- unrelated to film, so stay tuned for a future post!
Anyways check out the site, Jameson Dublin International Film Festival
one special event they are presenting is the viewing of The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse...
The National Concert Hall will be preforming the original score as the film plays! How cool is that?
Two films they have announced that will be showing are The Way and Good Cake, Bad Cake
The Way
Directed by Emilio Estevez, The Way is set along the thousand-year-old Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route. It tells the moving story of Tom Avery, played by Martin Sheen, an American father who travels to France to reclaim the body of his estranged son who died in a storm at the start of the famous route in the Pyrenees. Avery cremates his son’s remains, placing them in his backpack, and starts off on the journey his son never made to Santiago

Good Cake, Bad Cake
After U2 conquered the world in the mid 80’s, music executives descended on Dublin in search of the next big thing. A band called Lir was anointed as U2’s most likely successors. Irish filmmaker Shimmy Marcus (Soulboy, Headrush) charts the bands highs and lows in the documentary Good Cake Bad Cake, which will receive its world premiere at the festival. The film will be followed by an unmissable post-screening gig by the band in The Workman’s Club venue in Dublin
Tomorrow night they will be announcing the rest of the films, and there is an event going on at the Tripod so come visit me at Old Harcourt Station Dublin 2, Ireland!!!

Congratulations, this is going to ba a treat, what a way to be immersed in art.
Thank you, nothing like promoting "the reality in illusion itself" through the spectacle of film!
