A trailer for Ponydance: The Movie by Doris/Magee Productions [AKA Derek O’Connor and Ian Whelan], and produced by Willie White on TG4 this MONDAY January 13 at 8pm.
Commissioned under the Arts Council/TG4 Splanc! whatsit, Ponydance is a ‘part-mockumentary part fly-on-the- wall’ exploration of the world of Ponydance, a Belfast-based dance troupe formed in 2005 by Galway-born choreographer, dancer and Irish speaker Leonie McDonagh.
Want those gold pants very badly.
No wait, come back.
It’s all changed.
A short film about the launch of the Electric Ireland Feis Ceoil 2013 at the Natural History Museum, Dublin, starring the Rockford Manor [girls’ school, Co Dublin] Choir, classical guitarist Liam McManus and violinist Juliana Odubajo.
Fair play though, in fairness.
Silver Threads of Hope is an anthology of short stories, in aid of suicide charity Console.
Edited by Sinead Gleeson it features contributions from Irish writers, including Kevin Barry, Greg Baxter, Dermot Bolger, John Boyne, Declan Burke, John Butler, Trevor Byrne, Emma Donoghue, Roddy Doyle, Dermot Healy, Christine-Dwyer Hickey, Declan Hughes, Arlene Hunt, Colm Keegan, John Kelly, Claire Kilroy, Pat McCabe, Colum McCann, John McKenna, Belinda McKeon, Mike McCormack, Siobhan Mannion, Peter Murphy, Nuala Ni Chonchuir, Phillip O’Ceallaigh, Keith Ridgway, William Wall and Mary Costello.
What do you mean you ‘weren’t invited’?
To accompany the book’s publication Broadsheet faves Doris/Magee have made a Luas-set Xmas film (above) to illustrate the collection’s quite possibly magical seductive powers. Music by Darragh Cullen.
Mmmf.

By magnificently-bearded Dubliner and “unwed mother of two children”, Eamon MacEamonn.
He’s a one-man referendum commission.
From the good folk at Doris Magee.
Thanks Niall OK

Doris Magee Productions got Danny McBride (Pineapple Express, Eastbound and Down and in town to promote Your Highness) into a room in Dublin yesterday.
Their mission?
To have one Hollywood stoner-comedy-god guess the meaning of words like ‘geebag’, ‘minger’, ‘banjoed’ and ‘Tubridy’.
Tough ask.
Enjoy.
The Irish Times youth wing want YOU to create the copy for a fantasy horror movie poster about the Irish recession.
Madam was all like ‘what’s a horror movie’ but they got it passed.
And it does bring the LOLz.
But what about movies where the actual title reflect our times and mood. Above is the Broadsheet choice. More of a movie within a movie but you get the drift.
Meanwhile, take eight minutes and watch Doris Magee and the best silent movie ever about our current economic plight.

Dirty Old Cowen.
From Doris Magee. It’s causing a stir on boards.ie and politics.ie (where Godwin’s Law makes an appearance ).
Possibly for its accurate depiction of a political blogger-type.

FAS is toast.
But let’s remember the golden years.
