SUMMARY:Solas – A Feast of Community Film
DESCRIPTION:Portobello Film Festival is delighted to partner with the Irish Cultural Centre in Hammersmith to celebrate 30 years of free films with a special screening of short films with links to the Irish community in West London. \nThe programme is dedicated to the memory of Niall McDevitt\, ICC Poet in Residence and Portobello Road resident. He collaborated with acclaimed Irish documentary filmmaker Sé Merry Doyle on works including W.B. Yeats: The Battle of Blythe Road about the HQ of The Golden Dawn\, and James Joyce – Reluctant Groom recounting Joyce’s marriage in Kensington. Both will be shown alongside the world premiere of William Blake and the River Tyburn. \nThe afternoon delves into the archives of the Portobello Film Festival\, with highlights including last year’s winner\, Jama The Dand\,y about Portobello legend Jama Elmi whose colourful outfits have earned him the moniker “London’s best-dressed man”; 2006 festival winner Rootical tells the story of photographer Charlie Phillips who documented the social implications of Caribbean immigration in Notting Hill in the 1950s and 1960s\, while Irish in Brent places the focus on Irish immigration in the 1980s. \nHousing activists\, including musicians Glan Hansard and Hozier\, join forces with filmmaker Jim Sheridan in Shelter Me\, a film about the homeless crisis in Dublin. Ardal O’Hanlon (Father Dougal from ‘Father Ted’) is confronted with an alien invasion in the 50s sci-fi spoof Flying Saucer Rock and Roll. Jake Auerbach’s documentary Lucian Freud: Portraits looks back at the painter’s life through conversations with his sitters. \nSelected for their links to the Irish and West London communities\, these are just some examples of the breadth of topics\, characters\, and styles of films entered and shown for free since 1996. The partnership with the Irish Cultural Centre forms part of the anniversary celebrations in the run-up to the 30th Portobello Film Festival from 28 August to 14 September 2025.

SUMMARY:Benjamin Dwyer Ensemble - 'SacrumProfanum'
DESCRIPTION:“SacrumProfanum”\n\nComposer Benjamin Dwyer – (amplified ensemble and tape)\nFeaturing: Garth Knox (viola) Emma Coulthard (flutes) Siobhán Armstrong (medieval Irish harp\, voice – Sean Nós) Benjamin Dwyer (bowed guitar) Jona Xhepa (text) Donnacha Dwyer (uillean pipes\, recorded)\nSacrumProfanum is a multimedia work for amplified musicians and tape that explores Sheela-na-gigs\, the enigmatic stone carvings found in Ireland and parts of Britain.\nIrish composer Benjamin Dwyer\, an elected member of Aosdána (the Irish Academy of creative artists\,  has spent the last ten years travelling across Ireland studying\, photographing and sketching these mysterious figures. Responding artistically through the Sheela ‘as witness’\, Dwyer has created a unique work exploring themes such as feminism\, colonialism\, identity\, religion\, rite\, landscape\, sexuality and the disintegration of Gaelic culture.\nIn a score that combines contemporary music\, interfacing with traditional Irish forms\, instruments and sean-nós singing\, SacrumProfanum offers perceptive critiques of contemporary exploitations of Irish culture. It investigates these themes through raw\, visceral\, often abject but ultimately poignant and deeply affecting music.

SUMMARY:The Laughing Boy - A New Play by Jack Harte
DESCRIPTION:Dublin 1963 and Brendan Behan’s song The Laughing Boy has become the inspirational anthem of the political Left in Greece. Alexandra\, a student and political activist\, has travelled here to seek out the writer of the song and invite him to Greece to boost the struggle for Socialism. \n\n\n\nHer search comes to an end in a Dublin pub but what she finds there is strange in the extreme. This is not the Brendan Behan she was expecting. In fact she is totally bewildered when two characters claim to be Brendan Behan\, each with a different take on the legendary writer. \n\n\n\nThe play draws on Jack Harte’s engagement with Greece. In 1974 he was there to witness the fall of the Military Junta\, and 40 years later he was back in Athens and discovered the huge impact of Brendan Behan’s song – The Laughing Boy. Jack had a play produced in one of Greece’s ancient amphitheatres. The Laughing Boy is an imaginative and absorbing tale of theatrical and political history.

SUMMARY:Pauline Scanlon & Band Live
DESCRIPTION:‘Her voice is a superb mix of china cup fragility and steely strength” (The Irish Times\, 2010.)\n\nIt’s 2022\, more than a decade later\, and this contradiction is still true of Pauline Scanlon’s voice. In fact\, the pairing of opposites seems a true fit for this West Kerry native. Her voice comes from an ancient place but is always fresh. She is uniquely Irish yet universally understood\, apparently traditional yet subversive at every turn. Perhaps now\, it is the steely strength that comes to the fore in both her activism and her determination to constantly evolve as an artist.
