Eighteen years ago Mícheál Fanning had the inspired idea to start an arts festival called Féile na Bealtaine. The first programme was printed on two sides of a single sheet of paper and consisted of a half a dozen readings with some music. From such humble beginnings Féile na Bealtaine has grown to become a five day festival packed with music, discussion, art, storytelling, theatre, literature and politics, all of the things that enrich our lives. Mícheál strongly believed that all sectors of society and all age groups should have access to artistic events. That is what we have endeavoured to do with the 2012 programme. We think he would approve of this years line up. 13 Scannán Film 15 16 Macs 7. Lisbeth Mulcahy's 8. Library 9. West Kerry Live 10. Dingle Bay Hotel 11. Dannos 12. Marina Centre 13. O' Flaherty's 14.

'These are decidedly modern landscape photographs that also allow themselves to be haunted by Ireland’s past. The images foreground the natural environment – the grass, soil, and rock – and visualise the developments as disordering the topography. The absence (or oblique traces) of human life in the photographs highlights the uncanny decoupling of these houses from their function as places of dwelling. They evoke not so much the intrusion of people into the unspoilt landscape, but the incursion of a more senseless and arbitrary capitalism, itself decoupled from the basic premise of supply and demand. As such, they offer a fitting visual metaphor for the property boom, a record of the tangible material affects of the international financial crisis and Ireland’s entangled property crash. Haughey’s images evoke more than the spectre of the recent past, however. As landscape photography, they operate in relation to the stereotypical images of Ireland as green, lustrous, ancient and unspoilt. They depict the struggle over place and narrative characteristic of the current moment as people engage in complex renegotiations of personal and collective history, identity, and purpose in an effort to rediscover what Ireland ‘means’’ www.feilenabealtaine.ie Anthony Haughey Dr Cian O’ Callaghan (extract from ‘Haunted Landscapes’, published in Source Photographic Review, Winter 2011).
