HENRY GLASSIE : Field Work (2019 : 105 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.

Irish Director Pat Collins’ most recent film Henry Glassie: Field Work, is a magisterial portrait of the renowned American folklorist and ethnologist Henry Glassie, now in his seventies. Henry Glassie is one of the most celebrated folklorists across the world. He has spent the last 50 years making in-depth studies of communities and their art. Glassie’s subject is folklore but his abiding love for the people who create it resonates throughout the film. “I don’t study people. I stand with people and I study the things they create.”Early in the Troubles, Henry Glassie came into a community of active story tellers in County Fermanagh. There he discovered a world about to be lost. Over the course of ten years’ research, he recorded the life and art, the folklore, history and common work but particularly the stories of that tiny community.This film is an intricate exposition of Glassie’s life’s work and a vehicle for Collin’s trademark perspicacity and keen eye for the smallest details which yield deep significance. The rituals and rhythms of working artists across Brazil, Turkey, North Carolina and Ireland are recorded in languorously paced sequences which mirror the real time process of the crafting of the work.Pat Collins is an award winning Irish director. He could be described as a cinematic landscape artist of sorts, possessing a deft ability to capture texture, mood, and emotion, along with the confidence to let his films (and their subjects) truly breathe. With a long and distinguished body of work, he has made over 30 films since 1999. Work include the feature film Songs of Granite (2017),a portrait of Joe Heaney. Other portrait films include; A Private World (2004) portrait of John McGovern; What We Leave in Our Wake (2009); Tim Robinson: Connemara (2011); Silence (2012); Living in a Coded Land (2014). He was also co-director odf the three-part series 1916, which broadcast on RTE, BBC and PBS America.
