TAYLORFEST!

Good that Carlow are recognising one of their own. Along with Katie we have another great Taylor. William Desmond Taylor (who has been mentioned on this blog several times) now has his own festival. This silent director is one of Ireland's greats and has made more impact on cinema than Neil Jordan, Jim Sheridan, and our current crop of Film Board sycophants. They are screening some of his films this month and it's great that he's getting recognised at last. Hope Herbert Brenon is next?
