I spoke with @TwomeyMichael about his captivating documentary on Youghal's Horgan Brothers, Ireland's pioneering filmmakers. The documentary is a must-see for film fans and will be screened at @TriskelCork tonight.

Thrilled to be bringing to the big screen ‘The Horgan Brothers: Princes of the Picture Theatre’. This will be the very first time the Horgan Brothers’ story will be told on film on what is the 120th anniversary of the Horgans’ venture into filmmaking.

@conor_lupton Thanks, Conor. There will be a screening in Cork at a later date as well. Hopefully everyone will get a chance to see it.

@Muinchille @jdmccafferty He would have made for a super psychologist.

@jdmccafferty So much more impressive than his resting place. He has a grave for each kingdom.

@y_gwenda Truthfully, it is not supported. People still drive to Mahon. Maybe something to do with the communal excitement of crowds. Some hate being in a cinema with only a few others. It was the last sign of pride in the town for me on an already decimated area.
