'It’s incredible that there were these people in a small fishing town in the south of Ireland who were operating at the same time as the Lumière brothers and Edison and doing the same things.' irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/arts… michael twomey Film&Screen MediaUCC College of Arts, Celtic Studies & Social Sciences

I was right then and right now #brexit

I have written at length about Gérald Darmanin and Amélie Oudéa-Castéra. This is who they are, their pasts, links to Macron, why they are lying about Liverpool fans, and why they are running scared of the fallout now.

Again, please and read and share it!

'[Vampyr is] the only film worth watching… twice!' - Alfred Hitchcock

A masterpiece of surreal horror, the fantastic Vampyr screens from Mon May 23! This delightfully disorientating tale still casts a hypnotic spell 90 years later - don't miss out buff.ly/37V2vRi!

Delighted that NewstalkFM want to repeat this. With #worldovariancancerday on May 8 let’s hope this play can help give a voice and raise awareness.

I've thought a lot today about writing an angry thought piece on the actions of some opposition supporters in Liverpool's last two games. I'd rather as many people as possible shared this, so more can try and understand the suffering that still exists. theathletic.com/3236654/2022/0…

Heart in the Stone final screenings tonight and tomorrow night. Fantastic support for the film and a lot of love for a very special place. Bookings- www.yewwoodvenues,com
