Check out all the great writing on Irish films at The LAMB in honor of St. Patrick’s Day. There were fewer participants than I anticipated, but they provided a ton of content so it all works out.

St. Patrick’s Day at The LAMB
The next call for the new national holiday series is up at The LAMB. We’re asking LAMB members to submit their writing on Irish films. Since the industry is comparably small to other subjects I’ve hosted at The LAMB in the past year or so, I’m also accepting films shot in Ireland.
Interesting point from my research into the cinema of Ireland: did you know The Land Before Time was created in Ireland? And that one animation studio is responsible for everything from An American Tail to The Pebble and the Penguin? It’s true. I’m going to have to hunt down a copy of All Dogs Go to Heaven to write about for the deadline this Sunday.

The new Foreign Chops is up, filled with a ton of great writing about French cinema.
Foreign Chops #20: France
Any chance I get to speak the good word of The Happiness of the Katakuris is a chance I’ll take. The new edition of Foreign Chops is up and it was a whole lot of fun to put together. I asked LAMB members to submit their choices for the best non-English films since 2000 and they delivered. Only three films–Amour, Let the Right One In, and The Raid: Redemption–appeared in multiple submissions. Every other title was heralded one time as the best of the best of global cinema. I have so many films to catch up on.

That’s right. It’s been less than a week and we’re already moving on from Australia Day to our second national day celebration at The LAMB. Next Thursday, I’ll be gathering up all the links from LAMB members about New Zealand cinema in honor of Waitangi Day. All the details are available at the link below.

I have a new feature starting out this week at The LAMB. It’s going to be a celebration of national and international holidays (like Christmas and Easter) through film. The first subject is Australia Day, with the post going up on January 26 to celebrate Australia through Australian cinema.
All the details are over at The LAMB.
