Irish Times Off Topic

This week on Off Topique, Hugh and Fionn are joined by Cannes old hand Donald Clarke and Cannes neophyte Juliette Bonass to talk about the Ligue 1 of film festivals. Juliette, producer of 'Glasslands' and 'Noreen', is one of 20 chosen as Producers on the Move programme at the festival next month. In part 2, Oliver O'Hanlon is on the line to share the strange tale of Henri Béraud, France’s star reporter and flâneur of his day, who visited Ireland to cover the War of Independence and Civil War and to see what life was like for people in the street. Plus Fionn is astonished at the news agenda in the US, and Hugh looks to the future of Youtube.
