SUMMARY:Irish Film Institute Documentary Festival
DESCRIPTION:We love an IFI Festival and this is always one of their must sees. The annual celebration of non-fiction filmmaking takes place from Wednesday 10th to Sunday 14th September\, bringing together bold voices\, urgent topics\, and inventive forms\, to present a cutting edge mix of screenings\, panel discussions\, and public interviews. It’s impossible to pick out highlights but music lovers (and performers) of a certain age are bound to find many touchstones in Frank Shouldice’s Once We Were Punks and How To Build A Library\, an inspirational triumph over adversity from Kenya in which the filmmakers document the quest to transform the formerly whites-only\, colonial-era McMillan Memorial Library into a vibrant cultural hub for a new generation of Africans. The hot ticket is bound to be the Thurs Sept 11th screening of Gerry Adams: A Ballymurphy Man\, to hear Adams’ uncensored perspectives on the conflict\, a life spanning war and transition to peace\, and an ongoing campaign towards Irish unity. It’s followed by a Q&A with Director Trisha Ziff and Adams\, hosted by Betty Purcell. \nIFI\, 6 Eustace St\, D2. Sept 10th – 14th. Info & Tickets: ifi.ie

SUMMARY:Celebrating Traveller Women's Voices with Kitty Cassidy Helen Hutchinson & Rosie McCarthy
DESCRIPTION:Poster Fish Promotions presents a celebration of Traveller women’s voices in conversation\, poetry and song with Kitty Cassidy\, Helen Hutchinson and Rosie McCarthy. The event takes place from 2-3pm on Sunday 24 August in Smithfield Square\, Dublin 7 as part of the DCC Dublin City Fleadh.\n\nKitty Cassidy made her name in the traditional music community in Ireland and the UK through field recordings made by Alen MacWeeney in late 1960s. The album Whisht!: Irish Traveller Folktales & Songs – The Cassidys\, 1967\, featuring a selection of these recordings was later released in 2002. This brought Kitty’s voice to a new generation of singers and song collectors where she proved influential with artists such as Lisa O’Neill and Radie Peat.\n\nA collector of songs in her own right\, Kitty grew up in a musical family steeped in tradition. Her father\, Johnny Cassidy\, was a noted storyteller\, and her mother had a store of songs and a beautiful voice and often sang in public.\n\nNow 85\, she recently performed at Misleor festival of nomadic cultures in 2023 and featured in the RTE documentary Songlines last year.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nKitty will be joined by poet Helen Hutchinson and singer Rosie McCarthy.\n\nHelen Hutchinson is a lifelong activist and poet. Co-founder of Pavee Point\, much of Helen’s work reflects the Traveller way of life and the discrimination that her community suffers. It also reflects the resilience of the community as her work gives voice to pride in Traveller identity and also celebrates the Traveller language. Her poetry collection\, ‘From The Dirt Lane to the Open Roads’\, was published in 2024.\n\nRosie McCarthy is a young sean-nós singer and actor from West Cork. Combining her Traveller heritage with her love of singing\, her beautiful voice has power and a depth of emotion that is striking in someone so young. Rosie also appeared in RTE’s Songlines and has performed at Misleor festival of nomadic cultures.\nThe event takes place from 2-3pm on Sunday 24 August on Smithfield Square as part of the DCC Dublin City Fleadh. \n\n\nThis is a free event\, but space is limited.

SUMMARY:The Wild Geeze Present - The Hoes of Tralee
DESCRIPTION:After two years of cult chaos and glitter-soaked glory\, The Hoes of Tralee makes its theatre debut at The Sugar Club on August 22nd. Hosted by cabaret’s most chaotic duo\, Joe on the Dolan and Linda Farten\, the show promises a night of pure camp\, wild talent\, and county pride like you’ve never experienced before. The Hoes of Tralee is a no-holds-barred variety show celebrating Ireland’s rich underworld of alternative talent — drag\, comedy\, performance art\, and feral beauty pageantry collide in one unhinged evening. \nThe 2025 Hoe lineup boasts a glittering mess of excellence. Representing Kilkenny is Kate Moylan\, full of marble-town mystique and pure hurler energy. From Louth\, Aurora Divine arrives with high drag glamour and a personal vendetta. Galway’s Daria de Colette brings elegance\, edge and several cursed props. Donegal has dispatched Marian Mary the 6th\, a deeply devout diva with unfinished business. Meg Reilly\, aka Few Cans\, travels all the way from Australia to show the locals how chaos is truly done. And from Cork\, Hannah Hoops whirls in with a hoola-hoop and a chip on her shoulder. \nStill untouchable\, still unbothered\, and still coasting on last year’s win\, reigning Hoe Miss South Dublin Patsy Pleasure returns not to compete — but to judge you\, spiritually. \nThis year’s judging panel includes Sexy Tadhg\, and Margaret O’Connor. Dress code is ‘Hoe Formal’ – glitter\, mesh\, county sashes\, Eurovision trauma\, and absolutely no emotional stability. \nBring your flags. Bring your banners. Cheer for your county’s Hoe like your life depends on it. \nDoors open at 7PM\, show begins at 8PM\, followed by an After Party featuring DJ Born in the 90s (aka Laura Lavelle).  \nTickets available here.

SUMMARY:Vertigo 67 Film Conference And Festival
DESCRIPTION:The Vertig67 Festival celebrates the collaboration between Alfred Hitchcock and Bernard Herrmann on their masterpiece Vertigo. Kicking off with a special 4k screening of the 1958 classic film Vertigo starring James Stewart and Kim Novak in the Lighthouse Cinema in Dublin on Tuesday 12 August at 8pm\, the evening also features a free introductory talk before the movie screening.\n\n\n \nFestival proceedings then move over to the Trinity Long Room HUB in Trinity College Dublin from Wednesday 13 – Friday 15 August for three more days of presentations\, talks\, interviews and panel discussions\, including a number of presentations with a focus on the music score of Vertigo written by Bernard Herrmann. Interestingly\, Vertigo was not favourably received by either critics or audiences on on its initial release\, due to its complicated plot and deviation from the typical Hollywood romantic love story/thriller that Hitchcock had made his name. However\, the passage of time has seen Vertigo growing in appeal\, and it is now considered one of Hitchcock’s most personal films. The disturbing themes of obsession and casting against type of the traditionally wholesome James Stewart\, as a disturbed and obsessed detective trying to fashion Kim Novak into the woman he once loved\, has fascinated audiences\, filmmakers and academics for decades. \n\n\nFor details for tickets and times of events check out the Vertigo Festival website.
