CHECKED OUT THOSE IRISH FILMS

That are getting a screening in Galway this month.

Hideaways - can't find any info?

Songs for Amy - this looks quite good in a commercial sense? Kind of like The Honeymooners and Leap year?

Keys to the city - can't find any info?

Good man - can't find any info?

Earthound - not sure about this one? It's like another Zonad with British accents yet the IFB have funded it? Looks complete sh-te anyway.

Pilgrim Hill - what's this sh-te? A farm, cows, tractors? The trailer looks like a culchie testing out his new camcorder?

Jump - Kieran Walsh's new one and it's as bad as his other stuff. Kind of like Cherrybomb, middle-class Northern youths causing trouble.

Meeting on the stairs - this looks sh-t. Like a student movie about relationships in an apartment.

Sanctuary - can't find any info?

Stalker - from the director of Between the canals. Good article in the back page of Film Ireland.

Silence - some arty movie about a sound recordist no doubt similar to The Conversation and Antonioni.

King of the travellers - also from the director of Between the canals and no doubt as lame and crude.

Good vibrations - another Northern Irish film. This one is about the punk era.

Shadow dancer - yet another IRA movie thriller along the lines of 50 dead men walking.
