I have a mate who was planning such an experiment as part of her thesis around Temple Bar…..I thought it would probably be not very interesting however I wonder now having seen this what would things be like here in Dublin in comparison….was just expecting the dodgy white transit van to show up…forward to 1.20.

Digitised and animated versions of some of optical device collector Richard ‘Dick’ Balzer’s many phenakistoscopes – illustrated disks that used persistence of vision to create (often morbid) animated loops when viewed through a slit in a mirrored enclosure.
Many more here.

In the final episode of ‘Danny & Dante’: Ash catches Danny lying about his attendance at the job interview and sets off a climatic showdown between her and Dante. If only life was as easy as swiping right or left. Dialogue is still NSFW.

Given the week that’s in it, I’m hoping that you might have space to share a short Irish horror film that was made independently (and for very little!) in rural Co. Cavan a couple of years ago. Now that The Gloaming has completed the festival circuit, we’ve just made it available to watch online today.
‘The Gloaming’ was shot in summer 2013 and stars Republic of Telly host (and proud Cavan man!) Kevin McGahern. It was written and directed by Sean Smith and I co-produced it. It has screened in festivals all over the world – from South Africa to Lisbon to Sitges to Manchester – and has picked up a few awards along the way. Enjoy.
Also starring Tommy Sharkey, Kim McCafferty with Eoin Heaney as ‘the fiend’.
