There have been a few reports in the newspapers* both today and yesterday about a new film school to be established in Cork. Call Shoot the Cabbage a cynic(!) but the idea of a €8.6 million film school 'down the country' when we're in recession is a big, bad idea. We already have Irish films schools and the feature-filmmaking 'talent' they churn out leaves a lot to be desired. It's also noted that this new film school will be along the Hollywood lines. Sorry, but this idea that Irish filmmakers must follow the Hollywood filmmaking model has resulted in the most unwatchable crap over the years. Will we ever learn? It's also noted that screen legend Maureen O'Hara will have an active role in the running of the school. For fu*k sake, the woman is ninety!
