REEL NEWS:The hard-working people at the Clones film festival are about to celebrate 10 years of that fine event.

The 2011 jamboree kicks off on Wednesday with a tribute to the town's most famous son. In Sunshine and in Shadowdocuments the well- remembered 1985 title bout between Barry McGuigan and Eusebio Pedroza. The great man will be in attendance.

Other highlights include a conversation between Pat McCabe, honorary patron, and Paddy Treacy, retired projectionist of Clones's Luxor Cinema. The festival is also to screen the new Irish feature A Kiss for Jed Woodand will unearth I See a Dark Stranger(1946), the first feature ever unspooled in the town. Imaginative stuff.

The Clones Film Festival runs from October 26th to October 30th. See clonesfilmfestival.com.
