This month, at the Irish Film Institute, the Archive at Lunchtime showings do a “Focus on Jim Mulkerns” – my father. They’ll be showing three of his short films, alternating lunchtime screenings and then a double bill each Saturday. Of special interest is the first ever screening of a new version of “Dublin Capital City 1974-75” which he made with Brendan Halligan, in a bid to get city authorities to address the condition of the capital city. It has a new musical score by Josh Johnston and has been collaboratively produced by IFI, Scáthán and Cyberscribe. Please join us this coming Saturday, and for coffee or tea afterwards at the IFI Café upstairs.
