Scannain Podcast - #5 - 2019

It's time for the latest Scannain podcast!

This week, Darren Mooney, Ronan Doyle, Jay Coyle and Alex Towers from When Irish Eyes Are Watching discuss the week in film news. We have a broad and wide-ranging discussion of what we watched, including everything from John Carpenter's The Fog to 3,000 Miles to Graceland to the work of Agnes Varda and some preemptive highlights of the upcoming Virgin Media Dublin International Film Festival. We also discuss a little bit about David Fincher's Zodiac, which we all caught on 35mm at the Lighthouse.

In terms of film news, there is a lot to cover. The big story concerns the cinema-going habits of the Irish (and international) audiences. However, there's also news from the European Film Market, including a number of prospective Irish films on sale.
