SUMMARY:Irish Studies Seminar: “Embedded in Zeitgeist\, Embodying Zeitgeist: Traditional Music and Arts Developments in Galway\, 1971-1981”
DESCRIPTION:Irish Studies Seminar Series\, 2023-24 (in person\, and on zoom) \nDr Anna Falkenau\, “Embedded in Zeitgeist\, Embodying Zeitgeist: Traditional Music and Arts Developments in Galway\, 1971-1981” \nFocusing on the urban site of Galway City\, this paper explores the embeddedness of Irish traditional music and arts events in the zeitgeist of the 1970s. Described in a national context as “a decade of cultural\, social and economic transition” (Verena Commins 2014)\, on a local level\, Galway “awakened from a sleepy town a happening arts town” (Kernan Andrews 2013). Throughout my paper\, I explore the pathway of key actor Ollie Jennings\, active in Galway’s changing cultural landscape from the mid 1970s. My analysis shows that Galway’s vibrant scene of Irish traditional and folk music-making in public houses and other public spaces – only in place since the early 1970s – was at the root of inceptive arts developments during this decade. My discussion further reveals that it was a concoction of agency and circumstance that enabled Ollie Jennings’ success as music and arts promoter; his actions were at once embedded in zeitgeist\, but also embodied it. Ultimately\, I put forward a re-interpretation of Galway’s recent socio-cultural history. \nDr Anna Falkenau \nA recipient of a Freyer-Hardiman scholarship from the University of Galway\, Anna Falkenau is currently concluding doctoral research on micro and macro flows in the development of Irish traditional music in Galway City between 1961 and 1981. She previously received her Master of Arts in Music from Wesleyan University\, Connecticut\, USA (2004) and graduated from University College Cork (BMus\, 2002). Publications to date include a core chapter entitled “‘It was in the Air’: Irish Traditional Music in Galway\, 1960-1979\,” contributed to Hardiman & Beyond: The Arts and Culture of Galway Since 1820\, edited by John Cunningham and Ciaran McDonagh. Anna Falkenau is also an active performer of Irish traditional music (violin). She has released two critically acclaimed albums: her solo CD Féileacán na Saoirse – The Butterfly of Freedom (2014) and I Can Hear You Calling with five-string banjo player Lena Ullman (2017)\, both albums receiving four-star reviews in The Irish Times. www.annafalkenau.com \nThis seminar will take place in the Seminar Room\, Centre for Irish Studies\, School of Geography\, Archaeology and Irish Studies\, 4 Distillery Road\, University of Galway\, and on zoom here: https://universityofgalway-ie.zoom.us/j/99430390639?pwd=Z3g0WEU0KzA2K051MlZWVVRFdFgxdz09

SUMMARY:Award-winning Japanese film director Kazuhiro SODA coming to University of Galway
DESCRIPTION:Award-winning Japanese film director Kazuhiro SODA coming to University of Galway and  PALAS \nTHURSDAY FEBRUARY 29TH \nRenowned Japanese documentary filmmaker\, Kazuhiro SODA is visiting Galway  for a workshop and a screening of his award-winning documentary ZERO (2020). His visit is presented by the School of English Media and Creative Arts\, University of Galway in association with the East Asia Film Festival Ireland [www.eaffi.ie] \nSoda is a multi-award-winning director\, screenwriter\, cinematographer\, producer\, and author. After spending several years in New York producing documentaries for NHK [Japanese national broadcaster]\, he returned to his native Japan to direct his first ‘Observational Film’ – a term and approach to filmmaking that he would make his own through his ‘ten rules.’ \nCAMPAIGN (2007) went on to win the prestigious Peabody Award for Best Documentary. \nSubsequent films garnered additional awards including MENTAL (Best Documentary\, Busan International Film Festival 2008); PEACE (Best Documentary\, Hong Kong International Film Festival 2010) and ZERO (Ecumenical Prize\, Berlin International Film Festival 2020). His latest film\, THE CATS OF GEOKOGO SHRINE premieres at the Berlinale Film Festival in March 2024. \nZERO – screening on Feb 29th at PALAS cinema – is Soda’s most widely celebrated film to date. \nIt follows the final months in the working life of Dr. Yamamoto\, the humane psychiatrist first encountered in MENTAL. Within a culture where mental disorders are often derided and stigmatised\, Yamamoto has created a space of refuge and support for his patients where they are permitted and empowered to be themselves. The resulting film opens up a space for questioning attitudes to mental illness and standardised treatments and is by turns both touching and humorous. \nNow 80 years of age and carer to his beloved wife Yoshiko\, Yamamoto must retire and say goodbye to his patients. A loving look at care and ageing\, the film exemplifies Soda’s non-judgmental and deeply humane approach to his subjects\, offering themes and insights that resonate far beyond their local context. \n\nOn Thursday\, Feb 29th there will be a discussion with Soda about his work in MAIRTIN O’TNUTHAIL THEATRE [Arts Millennium 1023] 4:00-5:15 pm\n\n\nThis will be followed by a screening of the film ZERO at the PÁLÁS cinema at 6:00 pm and a Q&A between the director and Dr Tony Tracy [Huston School of Film].\n\nStudent tickets are just €5 – but please register with tony.tracy@universityofgalway.ie in advance! \nTickets for ZERO screening are available at hkps://www.palas.ie/film/zero-director-qa-with-kazuhirosoda \nFor more information on Kazuhiro Soda’s films and work\, visit: https://www.kazuhirosoda.com
