The Festival Director
introduces the 22nd Cork Film International. . . When the International Federation of Film Producers’ Associations granted our application for the First Cork Film International in 1956 we asked ourselves not only what we expected to gain but also what we had to offer in return. In our approach to the two questions the most outstanding thought was that since film had be come the greatest medium of mass communica tion and mass entertainment the world had ever known, it was of crucial importance that an appreciation of film as an art form should be made as widespread as possible among the public and that film makers should be provided with a Festival that would help them to achieve the technical and artistic potentialities that film offered. Last year we celebrated the 21st Cork Film International. This year, in the full maturity of the ideals that guided us in the beginning, we welcome you all to Cork 1977, and my sincere thanks to all of you for your unfaltering support. We have films from 25 countries and some special programmes for your interest and enter tainment.
In our SALUTE Programme we honour this year COLUMBIA PICTURES INC. 4
Our Films Technique Course is firmly estab lished and going from strength to strength. As always Bord Failte Eireann continues to be our main sponsor but Cork has many friends and benefactors and this year I would like to mention in particular the London Friends of Cork and the Dublin Friends of Cork.
My thanks to the Directors and Staff of CorkKerry Tourism and to the many friends and sponsors who make Cork a worthwhile and joy ous occasion; to the many voluntary workers who make it all possible, and to the Press who bring Cork to the world and the world to Cork,
And a special word of thanks to the Commu nity of St. Francis for arranging the Festival Mass.
DERMOT T. BREEN, Director, Cork Film International

No matter what your own place is, HGW have the paint for it. From their modest beginnings in 1885 at Shandon Works, Cork, Harringtons and Goodlass Wall have grown today into Ireland’s largest paintmakers. Backed by extensive technical resources and research facilities, HGW produce such well-known paints for the home as Uno, Valspar and Dulux. If your own place needs timber protection there’s always Cuprinol; or if your own place is a farm, then Galoxide is the paint specially developed for all farm buildings — and safe for animals too! Even more specialised paints are sometimes required — and so HGW are proud that they provided these for many major contracts including the Wliiddy Island complex, tlae Pfizer Chemical plant at Ringaskiddy and Irish Distillers Ltd. at Midleton. An associate company, Irish Industrial Finishes Ltd., supplies industrial and automotive paints made by HGW to many large Irish manufacturers including Henry Ford & Son Ltd., Cork. So when your own place needs decoration or protection — think of the locals who are Ireland’s largest paintmakers. Harringtons &. Goodlass Wall. They have what it takes.
