Anyone judging from the huge numbers of troops mobilised to Haiti could reasonably believe that this is a country in the middle of a brutal civil war instead of a nation hit by a deadly earthquake. While the Media has been feeding constantly news of murder, mayhem, and gangsters supposedly in control of Haitian streets, together with calls for a “strong arm” and “security” to make possible the delivery of relief, the reality seems to be quite another. Medical and Food assistance has been largely delayed by a cobweb of inefficiency, bureaucracy and negligence and not for “security” issues. In the meantime, hungry and thirsty Haitians have been largely looking for their beloved ones under the rubble with their bare hands. Very few doctors and relief agencies have dared to go to the streets of Port-au-Prince, where precious assistance –currently stockpiling in the airport- is much needed. read full story / add a comment

Saturday 30th January will see the Irish premiere – indeed the first screening in the English-speaking world – of the 1962 film Octobre a Paris [October in Paris] by Jacques Panijel. The film got its first and only screening in Paris in May 1962, immediately after which the film club where it was being shown was raided by Police and the film seized. Other 16 mm copies being screened around France were seized in the following days. Later in that summer Panijel did manage to get Octobre a Paris shown at the Venice Film Festival, but soon after the film would disappear, not to re-surface for over forty years. The film is a first-hand account, using eye-witness testimonies and original footage, of the 17 October 1961 massacre in Paris and the events leading up to it. read full story / add a comment
