The Festival Director introduces the 19th Cork Film International... In welcoming our many old and new friends to our 19th Cork International I am happy to share with you. once again, new achievements and dis tinctions for our Festival. Again, this year. Cork is the only festival in the world that presents awards for technical collaboration in the Features Section.
Awards will be made by an International Jury of five members to the outstanding Scriptwriter. Director of Photography. Music Composer. Editor and Art Director of the FeatureFilms shown during the Festival. Certificates of Merit will also be awarded. In the Short Films Section the competition under Category D for Short Fiction Films will con tinue to include films made specifically for tele vision.
The Tribute Programme this yea" is to the out standing French Director, Francois T^rGi-t. Mon sieur Truffaut was this year awarded the American Oscar and the British S.F.T.A. award for his recent film Day For Night. Cork has a special link with Monsieur Truffaut, as his first mai'or feature film Four Hundred Blows was shown at the Cork Festival in 1959. During the Tribute the following films will be screened: Mississippi Mermaid, The Wild Child, Fahrenheit 451. Ann and Muriel, Jules and Jim and Day For Night. As a Festival which is so closely concerned with the arts of film-making, we cannot allow ourselves 4
to become complacently pleased by merely pre senting films and stopping at that. It is for this reason we introduce this year a course on Film Making Techniques. The course is specially de signed to give teenage film goers a grasp of what film is all about, from the writing of the script to the final presentation of the finished product. Eminent experts will lecture and demonstrate to the students during the five days of the course which unfortunately had to be limited to a maxi mum of 150. There is no reason why we should not have two or three more of these courses simul taneously if more financial aid was available. There may be another David Hemmings somewhere? I firmly believe that by establishing this student pro gramme. we can now truthfully say that C.F.I, is really worthwhile. A warm welcome to all the Producers, Directors, Celebrities, and my sincere thanks to you all for your unfaltering support. My thanks also to the joint promoters of the Cork Film International, Bord Failte and Player & Wills (Ireland) Ltd., to the Directors and staff of Ivernia and to our many sponsors and friends who make our Festival an important and joyous occasion for so many.
I take this opportunity to say a special word of welcome to our friends of the Press who bring the world to us and bring us to the world. I am grate ful to you all. May your stay in Cork be enjoyable.
I wish to express my personal thanks to the Lord Mayor, to the members of the Festival Council and most of all to the many volunteers who unspar ingly gave of their leisure time during the year, to provide for Ireland an event of International prestige.
Dermot Breen, Director, Cork Film International

A TRIBUTE TO FRANCOIS TRUFFAUT Born in 1932 in Paris, Truffaut was an active personality in the film society scene while still in his teens. From 1953 he contributed to Art and Cahiers du Cinema and had the reputation of being one of the most caustic film critics in France. His first film of importance was Les Mistons which was concerned with the problems of adoles cence and while flaws could be detected in his blend of lyricism and cynicism, the film made an impact and revealed a spirit of rebellion, mischief and occasional bawdiness. Les Quatre Cents Coupe (Four Hundred Blows), which was one of the big successes of Cork Film International, where it was premiered outside ol Cannes in 1959, was made on a paltry budget and it won the Best Director Award in Cannes the same year. It expressed the spirit of the ‘new Wave’ with its protest against established order and the scant attention it gave to the niceties of film form. He made other films, including Tire Au Flanc, a farce about the French army, filmed by Jean Renoir, and Tirez Sur Le Pianiste with Charles Aznavour, but it was the beautiful tragic-comedy Jules And Jim which established Trauffaut as a director of international stature. This film is in cluded in our tribute. Since then Truffaut has continued to make films that have contributed to his reputation among filmgoers and critics and this year he won the Best Film and Direction Award in Britain and a Holly wood Oscar for his latest picture La Nuit Americaine. under its English title Day For Night. Truffaut has given this definition of the qualities required to make satisfying films: “Sensitivity, good taste and intelligence are the main ones”, he said. Truffaut has all three and something more, that indefinable something that distinguishes the master from the merely clever craftsman.
