Budrus
Rated as this year's 'must see' film by the New York Times film critic, Nicholas Kristoff, 'Budrus' is a documentary about a successful peaceful and inspiring civil disobedience campaign in Palestine's West Bank. A few pieces of Kíla's music are used through the film and you can hear The Listerine Waltz from the album Lemonade & Buns at the end of the trailer above. The film is about a Palestinian community organizer, Ayed Morrar who united both Fateh and Hamas along with Israeli supporters to save his village, Budrus from destruction by Israel's separation wall.
Muintir Just Vison ó na Stát Aontaithe a chur an scannán seo, Budrus, le chéile. Scannán é faoi ghluaiseacht síochánta agus rathúil a d'fhás i mBudrus le iarracht a dhéanamh falla deighlte na hIosraela a stopadh ó scrios a dhéanamh ar an mbaile. Tá muintir na meáin ana-thógtha leis an scannán - an t-uasal Nicholas Kristoff ón New York Times ag rá gur 'gá' do chách é a fheiscint. Tá cupla píosa ceoil de chuid Kíla in úsáid tríd an scannáin agus is féidir The Listerine Waltz, ón albam, Lemonade & Buns a chloisteáil ag deireadh an mblas-scannán thuas.

The Belgian Bus Home
Nine years ago, this August, we played at the wonderful Dranouter Festival in Belgium. On the journe home we were in a bus with The Waterboys and Dervish and many many others. A session ensued and thankfully one of the Waterboys' crew had a camera and captured the madness of it all. Here's a little clip from the Waterboys' website.
Naoi mbliain ó shoin, ar bhus abhaile ó fhéile Dranouter sa Bheilg thosaigh seisiún idir muidne, Na Waterboys agus Dervish Shligigh. Buíochas leis na déithe go raibh ceamara ag duine éigin agus seo blas-scannán den deabhalaíocht uilig ó shuíomh The Waterboys.

Kíla at Cannes
Kíla at the Cannes Film Festival May 2010
Following on from the success of the film The Secret of Kells, Kíla, invited by the Irish Film Board and Culture Ireland, performed at a star studded party, hosted by the film board in Cannes, at this year's film festival. Donald Clarke, from The Irish Times, described Kíla's preformance as a 'raucous set' and one of the party attendees said that he chose Kíla instead of the Woody Allen premier!
The setting for the party couldn't have been more picturesque. The Rado Plage café was literally five feet from the lapping waves of the Mediterranean sea. After Kíla's set many Irish directors and producers were spotted in serious conversation making connections with other producers & directors & distributors & investors. And the Irish Film Board personnel were busy facilitating all the connections.
Paul Young, the producer of The Secret of Kells was present and was meeting prospective partners for Cartoon Saloon's next animated feature The Song of the Sea and for all the other magical projects they are conjuring up in the their alchemic lab in Kilkenny.
By the way the very special offer of the Secret of Kells cd, dvd and the two gorgeous books, published by O'Brien Press, is still available for the bargain price of 45€. It will be on only while stocks last.

He recently passed them on to film-maker, Rónán Ó Muiríosa, who made this short film using St Germain, a track from the new Kíla album, Soisín as the musical backdrop.
