I’m looking for contemporary film or video images of urban ireland i.e. smithfield tower, the liffey broadwalk, Esat tower, lee tunnel etc. if anyone has any suggestions of where to archive such footage or have seen good modern urban images on TV i would be very grateful if you could point me in the right direction.
1. Didn’t RTE show a programme in the last year (Summer,2000?) that was about government money been spent on public art? I think it included some footage of a sculpture (incl. fibre-optic? lighting)for the LEE Tunnel.
2. Bord Failte could well have promo. videos about Dublin -‘The New Dublin – a city of contrast’… or some such lark!

check out the film “About Adam”, just on the tail-end of it’s cinema release. contemporary to a fault!

TnaG had a show recently called Cogar:Tacsai
It did give a fairly good sense of contemporary dublin at night, good and bad.
There is another movie out now based on a Roddy Doyle novel (I can’t remember the name at the moment) but the trailer I saw of it with Dublin city looking really well in it as a backdrop. See the much hated O’Connell Bridge House (and looking good too)……sure maybe that is why Irish Joe Public hates Irish contemporary architecture…if it were only on the big screen and telly a bit more and seen in a favourable light we would get used to living in the 20th/21st century environment and not a mythological past.
I see that Adam’s apartment in the movie is in fact a house in Rathmines.
