Interview With A Censor feat. John Kelleher
<p>In our last (for now) episode, we chat to <a href="http://www.johnkellehermedia.com/about" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">John Kelleher</a> who was appointed Irish film censor in 2003. When he left in 2009, the Irish Film Censor's Office had been renamed the Irish Film Classification Office, a reform that reflected how it had become, as John says 'more guide dog than guard dog'. </p><br><p>Until the pod returns, thanks to everyone for listening!</p><p>A & LM xx </p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Transparent Classification
<p>Censors have been replaced by classifiers, opaque silence by annual reports.

Abject Grace: Bad Lieutenant (1992) feat. Rob Doyle
<p>This remarkable neo-noir, directed by Abel Ferrara, has never been certified by the Irish Film Classification Office (the new name for the censor’s office). Aoife and Lloyd Meadhbh are joined by author Rob Doyle to discuss how Abel Ferrara and Zoe Lund, with backgrounds in porno sleaze, made a sincere film about redemption, and forgiveness.</p><br><p><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103759/?ref_=ttfc_fc_tt" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bad Lieutenant</a> dir.
