Step Up To The Plate (Entre Les Bras) Paul Lacoste France | 2011 | 90mins | Subtitled
In 2009 the Michelin starred French chef Michel Bras decided to hand his restaurant over to his son Sebastien, who had been working with him for fifteen years. Step Up To The Plate tells the story of these extraordinary dishes prepared by a father and a son, in the hilly landscape of Aubrac region. We follow this gastronomic transmission, and witness the intimate intricacies of their family ties. Paul Lacoste’s charming and captivating documentary draws a moving and joyful portrait of this outstanding family in their singular devotion to Haute Cuisine for three generations.

We are delighted to present the Irish premiere of Seven Psychopaths, the latest blockbuster from Cork Film Festival, BAFTA and Oscar®-winning writer and director Martin McDonagh, as this year’s closing gala. The film is a star studded, black comedy which follows a group of oddball friends who inadvertently find themselves entangled in Los Angeles’ criminal underworld after stealing the beloved Shih-Tzu of one dangerous gangster. McDonagh has assembled a top-notch line up for his raucous, quickfire gangster caper including Colin Farrell, Woody Harrelson, Christopher Walken and Tom Waits. Farrell is note-perfect as Marty, the hapless writer who falls foul of Charlie, an unhinged, dog-loving gangster played with menace and aplomb by Woody Harrelson. Seven Psychopaths is an inspired, blood-splattered and utterly spellbinding triumph of tension, executed with minimum frills and maximum impact.

Barrie’s masterful fairytale takes Tinker Bell, one of the world’s most beloved and iconic characters, into a breathtaking forbidden world where she makes the biggest discovery of her life. SECRET OF THE WINGS is a spectacular and fantastic story which whisks Tinker Bell from the warm world of Pixie Hollow across a great divide to the mysterious Winter Woods, introducing a whole new cast of winter fairies and revealing a magical secret – Tinker Bell has a sister, the equally effervescent and playful Periwinkle. SECRET OF THE WINGS reveals itself as a truly magical fairy-tale for all the family.
Award to Joe McCarthy Joe McCarthy is a Cork filmmaker who has a long association with Cork Film Festival. Having shown his initial documetaries to great acclaim at the festival, his 1972 entry, a 16mm production entitled But They Said It Didn’t They?, was a wonderfully whimsical take on the making of a television commercial on the streets of Cork. The production was made on a modest budget with a Cork crew, Cork actors and unsuspecting members of the public. The film won 2nd prize at that year’s festival. We are delighted and honoured to screen But They Said It Didn’t They? on the occasion of its 40th anniversary and to present Joe McCarthy with a Fin Barre Award in recognition of his filmmaking career in Cork.
