Through the Magic Lantern
One of the highlights of the Boyle Arts Festival will
be a chance to see a specially extended version of the film presentation, Boyle
– Through the Magic Lantern. This film offers a unique glimpse into life in
Boyle in days gone by, as seen through the eyes of three local motion picture
enthusiasts, Walter Cahill, Gerald Dodd and Jim Duffy. The film has been
compiled and edited by Brendan McGee, with the assistance of the families of
the tree cameramen and the Irish Film Institute. It takes a look at life in the
Boyle area, between the 1960’s and the late 1970’s and it will showcase rarely
seen colour film footage and the only known movie film of the fire in St
Joseph’s Church which took place exactly 40 years ago, in 1977. Through the
Magic Lantern will be taking place on Thursday 27th July in King
House at 1pm Advance booking essential
