First film i have shown (the PIPE) was a moderate suucces, we had about 20 people (i was hoping for about 40 to 50 really) & Terence Conway from rossport attended & answered questions for about 1 hour after the film ended.

It was a good start & now i am pushing ahead with a showing of the GAMA strike Documentary which is recognised for it impartiality in presenting the facts of what occurred at the time,

Hi ILA,

There is a link to a map on the calender page on the website, here it is here,

Sarsfield street

Its directly acrosss from the credit union & Shaws, it was the old cinema.
Are you going to come along? Really great Documentary which exposed the exploitation of the workers & the intimidation there families were recieving back home, all in 2004-2005 during the 'Boom' times, one can only imagine that it still goes on today.

Hi everyone,

Just to let anyone who is interested in going to the showing of the GAMA strike doc showing in mountmellick this weekend, we have Cllr. Mick Murphy attending to give a talk afterwards, Mick was central to establishing contact with the workers intially & progressing the issue when it was met with stone walls & intimidation.

Also, for anyone who wants to read it, here is Micks account of the events as they happened at the time,

Next film up, a provisional date of 10th december has been put on it, this is a truly breathtaking, remarkable 7 year project that has to be seen to be appreciated,

October 4th, 1982. More than 5000 People
filled the sold out Radio Music City Hall,
New York, to experience a remarkable
film event.
The event was the world premiere of
KOYAANISQATSI
Now you can share that experience.

Just want to give this thread a bump,

The film is one not to be missed, first shown in 1982 in new york & filmed over a 7 year period from 1975 to 1982 across the globe, this is an analysis of mans interelationship with the earth, nature, technology & each other, that still resonates today despite being released almost 30 years ago.

This really is a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience a film in its intended environment, that will challenge your perception of our existence in a world of ubiquitous technological & industrial surroundings.

More information provided on the link below, really hope to see you there for what will be a truly fantastic cinematic experience you will most likeley never get the opportunity to see again, if you could forward this onto anyone you think may also be interested in this event i would be grateful,
