AN award-winning Irish documentary about the controversial Corrib gas pipeline has struck a chord with the international community after it was picked for screening at two prestigious international film festivals.
The Pipe follows the lives of fishermen and farmers from Rossport, Co Mayo, who rise up against Shell Oil’s plans to build a pipeline for natural gas through their county.
Both the Toronto International Film Festival and the BFI London Film Festival will be showing the film which received a standing ovation when it premiered at the 22nd Galway Film Fleadh.
Director Risteard O Domhnaill told the Herald that he did not expect such a positive response or to win the Best Feature Documentary Award at the Galway event in July.
OVERWHELMING
“I was really stressed about getting it ready for the Galway festival, I didn’t think about the response we’d get,” he said.
“I just wanted for people to see, I didn’t expect anything.
“I suppose it’s timely, with the BP crisis and all … It must have struck a chord,” the Tipperary native added.
The 25 documentaries that will be shown at the Toronto International Film Festival were announced last week, and Risteard said that he felt excited to be included on the list.
“For me it was always about getting the film shown in Ireland, showing the people the real story. I looked at the list of documentaries that will be showing and it was scary.
“Credible, award-winning documentary makers are on it, Oscar winners … It’s overwhelming, but good I suppose. We don’t care about competing, if the story can travel that’s fantastic.”

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
