IFI National & Corona Cork Film Festival Present -
A John T Davis Punk Trilogy
Sat 17th Nov | 10.30pm | Triskel | Book tickets

Our annual collaboration with the Irish Film Institute allows us to re-discover treasures from the IFI Irish Film Archive and to present them to new audiences. This year, serendipitously, the completion of new feature drama Good Vibrations coincides with the digital re-mastering of John T Davis Shellshock Rock, Self Conscious Over You and Protex Hurrah, three films which document the actual men, music and and mayhem of Ulster punk in the late 1970s. We are delighted to present these original films –as primary evidence of those pulsating times and as testament to John T Davis’ unerring talent as astute documentarian of vibrant sub-culture.

Shellshock Rock (1979)
Shellshock Rock captures the bristling, raw energy of the Northern Irish punk scene in the late 70s. Mirroring the rough aesthetic of the music, with much of the filming carried out in dingy bars and music clubs – the Harp Bar, the Pound and in Terry Hooley’s Good Vibrations record shop, the film effectively tells the story of a teen rebellion that had nothing to do with the sectarian divide. It features the music of Protex, the Undertones, Rudi, The Outcasts and Stiff Little Fingers and is punctuated by interviews with Terri Hooley, band members, and a series of disarmingly inarticulate young Belfast punks.
Shellshock Rock was selected and then inexplicably and controversially deselected, deemed “not technically up to standard”, by the 1979 Cork Film Festivals Screening Committee. It went on to win a silver medal at the International Film and TV Festival in New York and to garner critical acclaim at a series of festivals around the world. Shellshock Rock returns here, triumphant, after 33 years.

Self-Conscious Over You (1980)
In this sequel to Shellshock Rock, Davis captures the joyful concert organised by Good Vibration Records at the Ulster Hall in April 1980 when almost 1800 people crammed in to enjoy local band The Outcasts. The concert (which provides the climax to the new feature drama) was to be a thank you and a farewell from Good Vibrations, but such was the response that Hooley changed his mind and pledged to keep the label going until the money ran out.

Protex Hurrah(1980)
John T Davis meets Belfast Band, Protex on a US tour in 1980. They are captured in playful mode as they mingle with the crowds during the St. Patrick’s Day parade, and later that night they perform at New York’s Hurrah Club.

The programme will be introduced by director, John T Davis.

Ps. I stuck up a blast of links and trailers for all the music-related films/docs this year here. It's a great programme (says she, typing from the CCF office computer)
Albert Plugd & Ray Wingnut Records will be DJing at the festival club (Opera House) after the Ulster Punk Trilogy so it'll be a right hooley! Lettuce know if yer coming and I'll keep ye filled in on what's happening around the place during that time.
