Booking: Bob Creech, Summer Music on the Shannon t: 065 7087566 e: summermusic@iol.ie w: summermusicontheshannon.com film Sunday 11 June 8.30pm Big Wednesday Directed by John Milius, USA, 1977, 102 mins The tale of a group of friends drifting through the sixties and seventies, getting into scrapes, having parties, trying to avoid Vietnam and doing all that stuff sixties movies live for. The episodic format, a series of brief snapshots taken from various moments over a spread of ten years or so helps capture the rambling nature of these people’s lives and gives an insight on how much things change and yet stay the same between a gang of old friends as the times move on and the world turns. €7 (includes tea/coffee) glór friends: 2 for 1 Sunday 18 June 8.30pm Come Surf With Me Directed by Rod Sumpter , UK, 1967, 85 mins, CLUB Veteran surfer Rod Sumpter’s 1960s film Come Surf With Me follows surfing greats as they charter virgin territory on the North Cornish Coast, Ireland and France and some of the best international surfing spots in the world. It also shows Rod in action in the freezing and snow-covered Bay of Fundy in Canada, and in action when he surfed 4 to 6 miles on the Severn Bore in Gloustershire, which was entered in the Guinness Book of Records in 1968. Come Surf With Me has a huge nostalgic factor for anyone who lived through the time as well as plenty of techniques for the modern generation of enthusiasts who are being shown the roots of their beloved sport and loving every minute of it. It is an important record which documents the history of surfing in Cornwall, Ireland and France and shows how today’s standard moves and equipment were pioneered, tried, developed and practised to perfection. It is a film that shouldn’t be missed. €7 (includes tea/coffee) glór friends: 2 for 1 11 Sunday 25 June 8.30pm Billabong Odyssey Directed by Phillip Boston USA / Brazil 2003 87 mins CLUB A documentary chronicling the Billabong Odyssey, an 18 month journey by a group of champion surfers and their support team who find and ride the world’s biggest waves. Using the latest jet-powered watercraft tow vehicles and cutting-edge weather-tracking technology, the Billabong team are ready at a moment’s notice to ride immense, 60 foot waves that can emerge anywhere on the planet. Featured surfers Shawn Barron, Layne Beachley, Ken Bradshaw, Ken Collins, Brad Gerlach, Brian Keaulana, Mike Parsons and Bill Sharp travel to California, France, Spain, Australia, Tahiti and Maui, their voyage culminating in a big-wave surfer competition at Jaws, the legendary big swell off the coast of Hawaii. €7 (includes tea/coffee) glór friends: 2 for 1 Sunday 2 July 8.30pm Dogtown and Z-boys Directed by Stacy Peralta, USA, 2001, 89 mins, CLUB Stacy Peralta’s (Riding Giants) documentary on his formative time among a clique of straggly teen drop-outs who turned skateboarding on its head makes a compelling case that, where riding four-wheeled planks of wood is concerned, the guys were the birth of cool. Back in the ‘70s, Dogtown was a rundown ocean-front district where hardened surfers honed their skills amid the detritus of the Pacific Ocean Park pier and skated when they couldn’t surf, emulating their wave-wending moves on any available tarmac slope. When a drought emptied the swimming pools, the gang jumped on the exposed testing grounds, gyrating higher up pool walls until they learned to flip over the lip and pivot in mid-air. Narrated with suitable casualness by Sean Penn, it’s an enthralling story laden with archive footage and insider testimony, displayed with a fast-cutting, full-on swagger the material quickly justifies. - Nick Bradshaw, Time Out. Winner - Audience Award (Documentary) / Sundance Film Festival The movie has an infectious exuberance that will engage anyone with a passing interest in the skate/surf culture. - Glenn Whipp, Los Angeles Daily News €7 (includes tea/coffee) glór friends: 2 for 1 glór gallery Thursday 4 May - Saturday 3 June Through Tide and Time the currach as a cultural object Through Tide and Time is an exhibition that celebrates the role of the currach in Irish history, mythology and folklore.
