MOMA To Screen Restored 'She Didn’t Say No!'
01 Apr 2005 :

‘She Didn’t Say No!’, a rare Irish film recently restored by the Irish Film Archive has been selected for screening as part of the 3rd edition of the New York Museum of Modern Art’s prestigious international film preservation festival, titled ‘To Save and Project’.

The series runs from May 26th-June 17th 2005 and aims to showcase preserved films that are vivid reflections of the diverse cultures that produced them and serve as a tribute to the passion and commitment of conservators and film archivists around the world.

Based on a novel by ‘Cork writer Una Troy’ (We are Seven 1955) ‘She Didn’t Say No!’ (1958) depicts the controversial exploits of the Monaghan family, in which all the children are illegitimate, fathered by a variety of men. The film stars a variety of Abbey actors including Hilton Edwards, Anna Managhan and Ray McNally. Based on a true story the film was considered so immoral that it was banned in Ireland on its release in 1958 and was feared lost until a badly decomposed copy was discovered in a film distributor’s collection in 2002.

A successful grant application to the Heritage Council allowed the Irish Film Archive to commission and acquire a beautifully restored print with remastered sound of this important and rare Irish film. The new print is now held in climate-controlled vaults along side the rest of the Irish Film Archive’s collection of over 20,000 objects, at the Irish Film Institute in Eustace Street. The Irish Film Archive collects, preserves and makes available Ireland’s moving image heritage and as is the repository for the National Film Collection.

Kasandra O’Connell Head of the Irish Film Archive said :

"It is an honour for a film from our collection to be selected for such an internationally renowned festival, it proves that the preservation of older Irish films is important in an international context."
