Hall’s Pictorial Weekly in Kilfinane, Co. Limerick, Ireland 1974

<h2>Hall’s Pictorial Weekly in Kilfinane, Co. Limerick, Ireland 1974</h2> The people and the village of Kilfinane in Limerick are the stars of this opening sequence for ‘Hall’s Pictorial Weekly’. People of the village go about their daily lives. Shops pictured include O’Shaughnessy’s Boots & Hardware and the VG Foodmarket. A bus full of excited school children wave for the camera as they pass. A man repairing a roof waves his hammer to the camera. Once a week from June to September, the ‘Hall’s Pictorial Weekly’ film crew would arrive at a town or village in any county in Ireland. They would film the people and the place and return to RTÉ where the footage was edited and put to music. This short film of around one minute’s duration formed part of the opening sequence for that week’s episode of ‘Hall’s Pictorial Weekly’. As it was not advertised as part of the programme billings in the RTÉ Guide or newspapers, people watched in the hope their town or village would have its moment of fame. This episode of ‘Hall’s Pictorial Weekly’ was broadcast on 7 February 1974. Credit to : CR’s Video Vaults
