All along I've been writing about "Holding Still" or 'Holding Still' (see the discrete difference, yes?) (single quotes, better than double) because I'm reluctant to use upper case for more than two letters in a row, such as in state abbreviations (recent notables: AK and AZ. AAAK!) and even then, they're rather uncomfortable for me. But I'm using upper case to be proper.
At any rate, Florian Riegel's documentary film HOLDING STILL is screening at the 55th Corona Cork Film Festival on Tue 09 Nov | 11:30am | Cork Opera House.
Think about it: a week long festival of 300 films from more than 30 countries. Big films, independent films, international documentaries and short films. That's a lot of silver screen, people.
OK, the Cork Opera House. From Cork Heritage Open Day, comes an exceedingly cool photo... I'm borrowing it, please/thank you, because it's the shot I'd take if only I could:
See! Fantastic architecture and not at all the ancient stone edifice you expected. Yup, I expected that also. There is a wonderful history of the Opera House at the site.
And, hey, I am Irish! Irish enough. Enough to wish I were there (sad that I'm not), at the festival, watching with a slew of other attendees. There's a trailer for HOLDING STILL at the bottom of this page. Go ahead. Scroll down and take a peek.
You could go to Ireland. Or you might actually be there already. And if you happened to snap a photo of a certain film up on that screen, you might shoot me a copy. Now that would be quite wonderful.
So go there. Quick.
HOLDING STILL screens also as part of
This is our World on Sun 14 Nov
