It’s festival time again. I’m off to the Berlin International Film Festival this week, and will be back in Dublin just in time for our own little cinema festival. Berlin, of course, promises to be an overwhelming feast of riches—but for once, I’m able to express genuine optimism about Dublin’s film festival, if only because new festival director Grainne Humphreys has had the ambition and daring to hold a four-programme Jonas Mekas retrospective, with the man himself in attendance.
Anyway, this is just a preliminary note to say I hope to start blogging fairly regularly during this extended festival binge. Whether this blogging will consist of rambling diaristic tidbits or lengthy critiques, well, only time will tell…
Donal, have a great trip. I look forward to your blogging during the festival binge.
