For your consideration.

I have a new film – The Great Wall – premiering on Monday at 6pm as part of JDIFF. Based on a Kafka short story it was shot across eleven countries over the last year and looks at borders, exclusion and power in Europe. Using Kafka’s mysterious ‘The Building of the Great Wall of China’ as narration, the film is a timely and very cinematic look at how the continent protects its own interests….

    Any chance Tadgh will do a documentary on what Europe would look like with unlimited immigration? How social welfare would collapse under the strain of mass emigration. And at least be honest about what his Agenda is rather hiding behind human interest stories. If we want to have a conversation about migration let’s do it openly and seriously and consider the consequences.

      Shut your racist trap-hole. The Irish are everywhere in the world, we’re an emigrant nation.

    You’ve seen the as-yet-unreleased film that’s not premiering until Monday then, you have?

      It’s a documentary looking at borders, power and exclusion in Europe. It then describes how he will use the analogy of the Great Wall of China for this. l think you can make a fairly reasonable judgement from that description of where this documentary is going.
      Do you think that the ending will explain that having high levels of social protection and a system of free movement in the EU necessitates border controls?
      Or do we have to watch it in full in order to pass any comment?

        No, but you probably do need to watch it in full in order to have your comment taken seriously

    Surely this is a mistake – this is the JDIFF right? So where’s the plot line about same-sex marriage and gay rights?

    Do you need panning permission to make a film about walls (did you see what I did there?)?
