Unknown Author

4.9/5 (30440 ratings)

Description:A landmark collection of essays and articles spanning the 1960s to the 2020s by the iconoclastic Irish filmmaker, photographer and writer Bob Quinn. *** In 1969, Bob Quinn walked out of RTÉ, published a damning critique of the broadcaster, made a controversial appearance on the Late Late Show, and took refuge in the Conamara Gaeltacht. After three years trialing various careers, he returned to filmmaking as a result of the Gaeltacht civil rights movement and founded the company Cinegael. What followed was a series of groundbreaking works that changed the course of Irish film, including the first Irish-language feature film, Poitín. In subsequent decades he continued to challenge convention, from the Atlantean films, which linked Ireland to North Africa, to his role in the activism that led to TG4, and from his bracing analysis of RTÉ in the book Maverick to his outspoken views on the societal impact of television advertising. Now, in a landmark collection, Bob Quinn’s son, writer and musician Toner Quinn, brings together a selection of his father’s essays, articles and book extracts that trace the artist’s work and thinking over seven decades. Combining wit, irreverence and vision, Count Me Out – Selected Writings of Filmmaker Bob Quinn is an inspiring collection by one of Ireland’s most iconoclastic voices. The publication of Count Me Out – Selected Writings of Filmmaker Bob Quinn is made possible through the generous support of Acadamh na hOllscolaíochta Gaeilge, Ollscoil na Gaillimhe; Grattan Healy; Telegael; TG4; and Bill Whelan.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
