The Munster Literature Centre film club is on Wednesday 16th July @ 8.30pm. The club will screen feature films which feature poets’ lives, or where poetry or the poet’s vocation is central to the story. Among the films we hope to show are: The Monkey’s Mask, Adult World, Doctor Zhivago, Tarkovsky’s The Mirror, Il Postino, bio pics of Lorca and Plath and much more. This month we’ll be showing ‘The Monkey’s Mask’, a film adapted from a verse novel of the same title by Dorothy Porter. The story is about a lesbian private detective who becomes embroiled in Sydney’s poetry milieu while searching for a missing girl. The chosen film will be announced closer to the date. The venue is The Roundy bar on Castle Street, Cork. Entry will be free and open to everyone. We hope the movie nights will become an excuse for poetry lovers to socialise once a month, discuss the movie, poetry and the stuff that goes into the making of poems. Be there for 8pm. grab a drink, introduce yourself before the movie kicks off at 8.30pm.
