Wim Wenders: 'No movie has really changed any politician’s idea.' Not in a political way. The Berlin Film Festival is known as the most political of the big three film festivals, along with Venice and Cannes. Among others, Wenders made the melancholy cinematic movie Paris, Texas, and the documentary The Buena Vista Social Club. Ultimately, it depends on how you define politics, because the personal is inextricably linked to the political, and the stories we tell are connected to broader society.

The Government announced last week it would pass legislation to remove the passenger cap at Dublin Airport. Visitor numbers have remained static, and they are spending less — so what’s driving the increase in passenger numbers?

One of Belfast’s oldest and most historically important buildings, the Assembly Rooms dating from 1769, has been in a derelict state for more than 25 years. Traders and their stalls made it a popular market place and in 1776 it was converted to the Exchange and Assembly Rooms when an upper storey was added. During the 1780s and 1790s social and business activities held in its spacious and lavishly decorated rooms included civic balls, banquets and concerts. Bunting’s transcriptions of the harpers’ assembly were subsequently published in three volumes entitled The Ancient Music of Ireland. Belfast City Council has also purchased the Assembly Rooms for a sum thought to be in the region of £2.85 million.
