Passes to the Festival are nominally priced and heavily subsidised and 

allow access to the Village Hall for all events on a first come first served 

basis. There is no facility to reserve seating. Most other festival activities 

are free of charge. 

Please note if no pass has been purchased at the Box Office a day rate 

of 315 will be charged on the door for entry into the Village Hall. 

We thank you for supporting Schull’s very own ‘Distributed Cinema’, an 

Intranet network dedicated to Short Film. 

Cover still from submitted film ‘El Pescador’ Directed by Samantha Pineda and Davy Giorgi 

welcome to schull and cfsff 2012! 

thanks to all of our sponsors for sticking with us in 2012, and in 

particular to our title sponsors Michael and kathleen Barry of Barry 

& Fitzwilliam, importers of Corona, who won an allianz Business 

to arts award for their cheerful and encouraging sponsorship of 

CFSFF in 2011. these last years have been enormously stressful 

to festivals around the country as government funding for the arts 

in Ireland dries up, and just when it seemed like it couldn’t get any 

worse, there is a whisper that the sponsorship support that alcohol 

brands give to both arts festivals and sporting events around Ireland 

may be banned by the government within the next two years. If this 

goes ahead, it will accelerate the centralization of cultural events 

in larger population centres already well under way thanks to the 

economic recession and will consequently put huge pressure on 

all festivals in rural areas, including our own. this will have an 

extremely negative impact on an already under pressure tourism 

sector and is surely unnecessary at this time. 

last year we developed Distributed Cinema and became a 

streaming festival for the short film competition submitters, all 

within the confines of Main Street Schull. this year, we will be 

streaming spoken events and Q&a content live from the village hall 

onto the web. this is an important step for us. our programme and 

our web presence define us, the one as a record of our aspirations, 

and the other as our window to the world. the live stream is 

happening thanks to Martin levis, our technical director, Brendan & 

Jane hurley from Digital Forge, who provide the required upload and 

download bandwidth free, the Irish Film Board for financial support 

specifically regarding Streaming, Granite Consulting for web design 

and Iomega Ireland and Canon Ireland, who have both provided 

equipment. With such a coherent and strong line-up of guests 

appearing at CFSFF2012, and such an active audience of short film 

makers and enthusiasts from all over the world attending, it’s a 

wonderful opportunity to show that rural communities can develop 

their own response to cultural centralization. In fact thanks to 

online technology, the electronic arts and crafts can thrive here. By 

supporting a festival like ours, where the emphasis is on the art, 

craft and technology of filmmaking, friends, supporters, filmmakers 

and sponsors alike empower and inspire the next generation of 

filmmakers and their audiences.

HAVEN, rEGAN’s BAr & NEWmAN’s WEsT (Upstairs). 

Welcome to ‘distributed cinema’, schull’s very own intranet network 

dedicated to short film. There are many different facilities around the 

village, from HD plasma screens, to projectors, to the 720HD projector 

in the Village Hall. Outside each venue is a sandwich board with the 

day’s programme running order outlined. 

‘distributed cinema’ was conceived of by the corona fastnet short 

film festival committee and John d’Alton, who coined the term and 

hatched a plan with us. We realised at Christmas 2010 that our main 

venue for the first two years, the harbour view hotel, had been closed 

down. (Thanks for the support over the first two years Denny & Sherrie 

Cullinane). 

We decided to create an intranet network in heart of schull, a pilot 

scheme to connect a number of premises to our own server enabling 

streaming of our short films to these premises. the premises would 

also enable wifi access, for the duration of the festival, so that attenders 

of the festival could stream the submitted short film of their choice on 

their laptop, smartphone or iPad. brendan hurley, from local internet 

provider digitalforge ran with it, planned and created the network, 

voluntarily giving of his time and expertise. 75% funding from west cork 

development partnership helped the scheme to get off the ground. 

granite consulting from Skibbereen helped us to create an intranet copy 

of our website that enabled wifi access, but only from within the village. 

Martin Levis spent many sleepless nights converting the submissions 

to the formats required for the films to be seen in the highest resolution 

on every platform. Iomega Ireland contributed hardware, and schull 

community college, schull sailing centre, fingal ferguson from 

Gubbeen, sean connell, camille & kerry fenn and Mark Mccarthy all 

provided much needed support at critical times to enable it all to run 

smoothly in 2011. let’s hope 2012 runs as smoothly!

“among other pictures drawing positive notice was Gerard hurley’s 

beautifully composed, gorgeously acted the Pier. It tells a common story 

in Irish literature and film: the returning emigrant confronts what has 

changed and what has remained the same. the director plays a man 

who, told his father (karl Johnson) is dying, travels from new York to 

Cork to discover the old codger looking a little healthier than expected. 

an amusing, touching battle of wills then develops. the picture never 

comes close to striking a bum note…a small gem” (Donald Clarke, the 

Irish times film critic). 

Come along and see what all the fuss has been about with this locallymade 

Festival kick-starter.

on March 30th 2006, after a life-time of 

dedication to his art, John McGahern, one 

of Ireland’s most distinguished writers, 

sadly passed away after a long illness. 

Since the publication of his first book in 

1963, John McGahern was at the cultural 

heart of Irish life. he was in the happy 

position of being universally praised by the critics and equally loved by 

the reading public. 

John McGahern: A Private World was filmed in 2004 just prior to the 

publication of his memoirs and these memoirs form the backbone 

of the documentary. through intimate interviews, a strong and 

compelling sense of the man emerges, offering a rare insight into the 

creative process.

What We Leave in Our Wake is a filmic 

essay which unfolds as a series of 

conversations on Ireland, exploring 

themes such as emigration, mythology, 

consumerism, socialism, the place of the 

church in Irish life, the central role of land 

in Irish history and the sense of a civic 

society. Combining images of contemporary Ireland with an evocative 

blend of archive, What We Leave in Our Wake questions what persists 

rather than the temporary fluctuations and trends, and talks to some of 

those uniquely placed to comment on how this country has evolved. 

Featuring contributions from Joe lee, Patrick o’ Connor, leila Doolan, 

Iain McGilchrist, Peter Mcverry, Declan kiberd, Desmond Fennell and 

olivia o’ leary and archive recordings of John McGahern and John 

Moriarty among others.

the first of its kind, ‘The Owner’ is a 

multilingual online CollabFeature Film. 25 

filmmakers (most of whom have never met) 

from 5 continents joined forces online to 

write, direct, produce and now premiere this 

film in their own locations. the Irish Co- 

Director Mairtín de barra has been to Schull 

before. his debut short film ‘Tart’ won ‘Best 

Cinematography’ at CFSFF in 2009. In January 

2012 his documentary series “the Club” 

premiered on Setanta Sports. Mairtín has just 

wrapped his debut feature film ‘Beat Girl’ for 

Beactive Media. 

this worldwide collaborative project called CollabFeature, was conceived 

by two Detroit-based directors, Marty Shea and Ian Bonner. the project 

is will break the world record for most directors on a film, surpassing 

‘Paris je t’aime’, which currently holds the Guinness World record of 21. 

this is the film’s Irish Premiere, one of 25 premieres happening across 5 

continents on the same day. 

the film follows a backpack on a journey around the world, intersecting 

the lives of dozens of characters along the way. the owner brings 

together a variety of cultures, languages and film styles into a singular 

narrative plot. as the story progresses, we learn details about the 

mysterious man to whom the bag belongs. 

John kELLEhEr 

After the film, there will be a q&A with Mairtín 

de barra chaired by festival patron John 

kelleher. cfsff 2012 is delighted to welcome 

both Mairtín and John back to schull.

Where are the chairs? Where are the actors? How do they perform? How

Regarding editing, which shot do we use? How much do we use? What order

With an introduction by dr. patrick bracken. Patrick will show ken Paul 

rosenthal’s film Crooked Beauty and will follow this with a talk on the 

recovery approach and the current attempt to define a new sensibility 

towards mental health issues. 

crookEd bEAuty

a poetic chronicle of artist-activist Jacks 

Mcnamara’s transformative journey from 

childhood abuse to psych ward inpatient to 

pioneering mental health advocacy. It is an 

intimate portrait of her quest to live with 

courage and dignity and a powerful critique 

of standard psychiatric treatments. Poignant 

testimonials connect the fault lines of human 

nature to the unstable topography and mercurial weather patterns of the 

San Francisco Bay area, reshaping mental health stigmas through a new 

healing culture and political model for living with madness as a tool of 

creativity, inspiration and hope. www.crookedbeauty.com 

dr patrick bracken is a consultant psychiatrist and Clinical Director 

of the Centre for Mental health Care and recovery in Bantry General 

hospital. he advocates a ‘recovery’ approach to mental health issues, 

encouraging alternative ways of intervening and accepting different ways 

of framing such experiences. the recovery approach involves a mind-set 

based on an openness to negotiate how we frame, and intervene in, 

experiences of madness, distress and dislocation. Such a mind-set can 

be encouraged, promoted and supported but it cannot be reduced to 

a simple list of dos and don’ts. Importantly, the recovery approach is 

linked with moves to acknowledge and understand the links between 

states of madness and distress and the dynamics of human creativity. 

In the future, recovery-based services will be ones where the creative 

arts are not an ‘add-on’ to good mental health work but are instead at 

the heart of such work promoting new ways of exploring the nature of 

mental illness as well as providing positive ways for individuals to move 

on from being ‘stuck’. Pat will introduce and interview director rob 

harper about his film The Men In White Coats, made by rob for the nFtS 

last summer.

Forty years ago they told Denis he was 

schizophrenic, but he doesn’t believe a word 

of it. Jake’s been stuck on the acute ward for 

months and rory’s doing his best to get him out. 

It’s an increasingly fine line between wisdom 

and insanity for all involved, struggling to keep 

it together on the South West Coast of Ireland. 

www.nftsfilm-tv.ac.uk 

rob harper graduated from Westminster university in 2008 and arrived 

at the nFtS in 2010. he enjoys directing intimate, narrative led films that 

explore the deeper psychological undercurrents of everyday life, often 

finding that a little humour can go a long way.

Multiple-award-winning director Lenny Abrahamson has been a leading 

voice in the new wave of contemporary Irish and European cinema. here 

he talks to fellow Irish director carmel winters about the much lauded 

but little understood craft of the director. this is a rare opportunity to 

meet the man behind an extraordinary cinematic vision and to share the 

insights he has gained on the journey from first short to latest feature. 

lenny abrahamson is from Dublin and is a tCD foundation scholar in 

Philosophy. after a period of post graduate study in Stanford university, 

California, he returned home to concentrate on filmmaking. his short 

film 3 Joes won many awards back in the 90s, including best European 

short film at the Cork Film Festival. his debut feature Adam & Paul, 

written by Mark o’halloran who also acted one of the two leads, had 

enormous success winning best first feature at the 2004 Galway Film 

Fleadh, best director at the 2005 IFtas and the Grand Prix at the 2005 

Sofia International Film Festival. his second feature, Garage, again 

collaborating with o’halloran as writer, won the CICaE art Cinema 

Prize in Director’s Fortnight at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival. Garage 

cleaned up at the 2008 IFtas winning best feature, best director, best 

script and best actor. It also took the prize for best feature at the torino 

International Film Festival, Italy 2007.

Josie (Pat Shortt) has spent 20 years as the 

caretaker of a crumbling petrol station in smalltown 

Ireland. Despite the loneliness and the 

fact that his neighbours treat him as a harmless 

misfit, he is always good natured and absurdly 

optimistic. Josie’s world shifts over the course of 

a summer when a teenager comes to work with 

him, and as a result of one thoughtless action on Josie’s part, events 

spiral out of his control changing his life forever.

What should you shoot your film on? What are the broader 

implications of shooting on different cameras, different formats? how 

does the camera you choose affect the look of your film, your budget, 

your schedule and how you work with actors? award-winning filmmaker 

Michael Lavelle will guide participants through the range of 

options for shooting today, using his invaluable experience as both 

director and cinematographer to demystify the options that are available 

to a film-maker. 

Michael lavelle is a screenwriter, director and dop. he began his 

collaboration as a dop with director ken Wardrop in 2004 on “Undressing 

My Mother”, which went on to garner over 20 international awards 

including a European academy award. “Out of the Blue”, his debut short 

film as a writer/director picked up numerous international awards 

including Best Short Film at the london Independent Film Festival, 

the audience award at Cork Film Festival and the Grand Prix for

this film considers curated artist’s work, specifically created for the 

buildings they were exhibited in, in the light of their surrounds. 

All three films were directed by Mike Hannon. 

“the style of each film, their meaning and the way they were shot 

are very closely linked. Because I made these films by myself, I had 

complete control over every aspect of the film making process, from the 

initial concept to the final film. traditionally, filmmaking is characterised 

by compartmentalisation of labour. I am an advocate for a do-it-yourself 

approach, where everything you do is in service to a personal vision.” 

(Mike hannon, 2012) 

Mike hannon is an independent film maker and video artist whose work 

ranges from the experimental to the conventional, spanning a number 

of genres. he holds Bas in Fine art and applied Psychology. he has won 

many awards for his work, including Best Doc and Best in Cork at CFSFF 

2011 for rat’s Island. We were very taken with his DIY aesthetic, how this 

actually benefits his approach, particularly regarding rat’s Island, where 

his camera never seems to intrude. unusually, Mike’s approach benefits 

by the fact that he doesn’t need to work with a crew.

“grandma’s garden” is a delightful puppet show for younger children 

aged from 3 to 6. Seán is staying with his Grandmother for the first time 

while his mother is having a baby. he´s sad to be away from his games 

and his toys, and worries that he will have to share his parents with a 

new brother or sister. things get worse when he finds out there are no 

computer games, DvD´s or even a television in his Grandma’s house. 

“Grandma´s Garden” is full of surprises, magical characters, and funny 

songs. It encourages play, imagination and an interest in nature, while 

also introducing the idea of change, and being really, really good fun! 

“Listen Janey Mac” is a charming, fun exploration of the history of Cork 

City through puppetry and song, and a mildly cautionary tale reminding 

us all how lucky we are to live in the 21st Century. Janey Mac and her 

puppy wander into a magical stone circle that takes them back in time. 

they meet a boy from a ring fort, help build a monastery and escape a 

medieval slum trying to get home. “listen Janey Mac” is a gentle and 

humorous piece with plenty of songs and a taste of adventure suitable 

for a younger audience. 

dowtcha puppets is a Cork based puppetry company established in 

2002 by Cliff Dolliver and Mick lynch, as a trading name of Dolliver 

Design limited. they have produced nine new puppet shows for young
