I shall be addressing the Irish Film Institute in Dublin before and after the screening of Damiano Damiani’s A Bullet for the General / Quién sabe?, on Saturday August 27th 2011. The film is being shown as part of the IFI’s “Meanwhile, Back at the Revolution…” season, and I will be both introducing it and having a post-screening discussion with the season’s curator Declan Clarke.

This fascinating season of films explores the myriad ways in which the Western genre has acted as a locus for political allegory as it has increasingly crossed cultural and national boundaries in the post-war era.

You can book tickets for the event here.
