THROUGH THE MAGIC LANTERN
One of the highlights of the Boyle Arts Festival will be a chance to see a specially extended version of the film presentation, Boyle – Through the Magic Lantern.

The film has been compiled and edited by Brendan McGee, with the assistance of the families of the tree cameramen and the Irish Film Institute. It takes a look at life in the Boyle area, between the 1960’s and the late 1970’s and it will showcase rarely seen colour film footage and the only known movie film of the fire in St Joseph’s Church which took place exactly 40 years ago, in 1977.
