BEST BEFORE DEATH (2020 : 89 mins)

The Documentary Room(originally The Rialto Cinema Club) is the only cinema night in Ireland dedicated to the documentary film genre. It was set up in early 2020 by Jenny Keogh and John McMahon. The premise of the fort-nightly cinema night is to show feature length documentary films focusing on music, art and culture, with a lean towards Irish directors and a healthy sprinkling of International directors.Jenny is a photographer, filmmaker and an avid film festival goer, with a particular passion for the documentary genre. She programs the films and hosts the cinema night – she gives an introduction offering some information about the film and the director and there is room afterwards for audience members to ask questions or chat about the film. With pizza and drinks available at the venue, it makes for a unique cinema experience in the cozy event room. Jenny sees it as an opportunity to share with audiences a dynamic range of documentaries that often only get shown at film festivals or a short run in mainstream cinemas.Jenny also runs her own video production business calledStand Out Films, creating content for Artists, Educators and Creative `Businesses.John is the events manager atThe CircularRialto, and has be a great supporter of the cinema night from the start, by offering it a regular slot throughout the Autumn and  Winter months.U﻿PCOMING SCREENINGS JAN/FEB 20231﻿7th Jan  8.30pm - DARK HORSE ON THE WIND3﻿1st Jan 8.30pm - MAISIE14th Feb 8.30pm - MARIANNE & LEONARD : Words of LovePAST SCREENINGSPOLY STYRENE : I AM CLICHEBREAKING OUTAK KLINT : BEYONDYOU DON'T NOMIP﻿HOTO CITYGRACE JONES : B﻿LOODLIGHT AND BAMITHE LOST LEONARDOF﻿RIDA VIVA LA VIDACROCK OF GOLD : A FEW ROUNDS WITH SHANE MCGOWAN (Dir.

In 1992, Bill Drummond ceased activities as part of the enormously successful pop group The KLF. Since 2014 he&#x27;s been on a World Tour, travelling the world with his show - The 25 Paintings - visiting a different city each year. In December 2016 he based himself in Kolkata, while in the Spring of 2018 he was in Lexington, North Carolina. He&#x27;s not rich and he&#x27;s deliberately designed his actions so they can&#x27;t be monetized. He&#x27;s mostly been ignored by the art world. So what is he doing it all for? Irish Director, Paul Duane shadowed Bill Drummond for three years before starting this film in order to achieve some level of understanding about what he&#x27;s at.In each place he carries out his regular work, setting up a shoeshine stand in the street, building a bed in order to give it away, walk across the longest bridge he can find at dawn banging his parade drum, start knitting circles with whoever wants to join him, baking cakes and offering them to people whose houses sit on a circle he&#x27;s drawn on a map of the city.Best Before Death is named after Drummond&#x27;s belief that the World Tour, scheduled to end when he&#x27;s 73, is a race against his own mortality. It&#x27;s a film about life, death, art, money, music and cake. And some knitting.Paul Duane is an Irish writer, producer and director. He has been working as a in film and television for more than 20 years. He has also made several short films including LSD 73!, based on an original script by the Irish novelist Patrick McCabe. The Irish production company Screenworks was established by Paul Duane and Rob Cawley in 2008. Their first feature documentary Barbaric Genius, on the life of the London-Irish author John Healy premiered in February 2011. He is also known for other feature documentaries : While You Live, Shine (2018), Very Extremely Dangerous (2012) aswell as for co-creating well-known TV series such as The Secret Diary of a Call Girl and the drama series Amber.
