Friday Film Showcased

Conor Hogan and Ciara Moloney

For many years, with regard to their film-watching, Ciara and Conor have been theming their months. For instance: *Elaine May May (sic) - films starring, written by, or directed by Elaine May. *Darling works (?) of May - William Shakespeare Films. *Cartoon June - you know, animated. *Soviet (J)Un(e)(ion) - Films from countries that were once in the USSR. Sometimes the titles of these months are puns, sometimes alliterative. Sometimes, it is awful strained altogether (see above). But it has always been fun. Or at least I hope so. They've been doing it long enough!

    Episode 5: Giallo – Don't Torture a Duckling (1972)

    NOTE: We received a message from Spotify for Creators stating that it had identified copyrighted third-party content in our podcast. This is incorrect. The theme music for our podcast is Antonin Vivaldi Violin Concerto in G Minor, RV315 ‘Summer’. The particular recording used was downloaded from Musopen.com, a non-profit which produces and disseminates public domain music via recordings, sheet music and educational resources concerning Western classical music. The licence for using this specific download was identified on Musopen.com as Public Domain Mark 1.0 Universal. That this is the only recording we have used, yet has been flagged as six separate recordings within the nine published versions of the podcast, with both Universal Music and Euphoria Ltd set as rights holders. This should demonstrate the difficulty with regard to copyright enforcement for performances of classical music, and differentiating between public domain recordings and copyrighted recordings. This podcast has no ads, or any paid subscription or other mechanism for making any money whatsoever, a fact we hope will allow the descendants of Antonin Vivaldi to rest soundly in their beds. https://musopen.org/music/?query=Violin+Concerto+in+G+minor%2C+RV+315+%27Summer%27&length__gte=10 Summary and links: In the quintus episode of FFS, Ciara and Conor continue their discussion of the giallo genre with a deep dive on Lucio Fulci's 1972 masterpiece, Don't Torture a Duckling. Spoilers abound!
