Irish screenwriter Mark Hodkinson's reworking of the classic Hans Christian Anderson fairytale is engagingly playful, with terrific illustrations, clever directing and snappy dialogue. In the movie, Ratso takes off to find fame and fortune in a carnival, accompanied by a worm and a duckling. This movie is particularly appealing to young children.

Director: William Dieterle (1939)

Cast includes: Maureen O'Hara and Charles Laughton

Set in 15th-century Paris, this is the story of Quasimodo, the misshapen, gentle-souled bell ringer of Notre Dame Cathedral, who was nearly killed as a baby by Claude Frollo, the Minister of Justice.

But Frollo was forced by the Archdeacon of Notre Dame to raise Quasimodo as his own. Now a young man, Quasimodo is hidden from the world by Frollo in the belltower of the cathedral. But during the Festival of Fools, Quasimodo decides to take part in the festivities, where he meets the lively gypsy girl Esmeralda and the handsome soldier Phoebus. The three of them find themselves ranged against Frollo's cruelty and Quasimodo ultimately is forced to defend both Esmeralda and the cathedral itself.

Director: Max W. Kimmich (1941)

Mein Leben für Irland is one of a number of wartime feature films produced by Joseph Goebbels, using Ireland's struggle for independence as pro-Nazi propaganda. Mein Leben für Irland tells the story of the son of a rebel who is sent to an English boarding school to be forced to 'think English'. He leads a revolt in the school during the Irish War of Independence in 1921, sabotaging the British invaders.

Director: Federico Fellini (1957)

Cast: Anthony Quinn, Giulietta Masina and Richard Basehart

La Strada centres on the world as seen through the eyes of a childlike woman, Gelsomina (played by Fellini's wife, Giulietta Masina), who is taken on as an assistant by a brutish and uncommunicative travelling strongman, Zampano (played by Anthony Quinn), who barely treats her as a person. When an encounter with a circus clown awakens a new sense of herself, the violent response of her master breaks something within her and she leaves him to travel alone. La Strada won an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1956.

A selection of short films: Farewell Packets of Ten, Scoring and Tongue Tied by local film company Venom Productions, will be screened, representing the work of award-winning director Ken Wardrap and producer Andrew Freedman. The lead role in Tongue Tied is played by Ranelagh-resident Howard Linnane.
