Patrick Kavanagh on Film [Ireland]:
October 14th, Irish Film Institute, 6.45pm
To mark the centenary of the birth of Patrick Kavanagh, the Irish Film Archive presents a programme of films celebrating the life and work of one of Ireland's leading poets and writers.
Where Genesis Begins
The late Bill Miskelly's 1978 documentary, was retrieved and is re-introduced here by Davey Hammond. The film, presented by Seamus Heaney, is not autobiographical but is instead a lyrical and measured exploration of the people and places which inspired Kavanagh's work.
The Writers: Patrick Kavanagh
In this documentary, filmed by Godfrey Graham in the summer of 1966, Kavanagh himself explores his Monaghan and Dublin haunts, and his homestead in Inniskeen, Pembroke Road and the South Canal. T.P. McKenna reads his poetry.
