The festival which screened over 150 short films at their 2019 festival, returns to Limerick City again this year for another year of premieres and documentaries, live script readings, acting masterclasses, as well as welcoming stars of the screen.

The Richard Harris International Film Festival which saw its inaugural festival in 2013, was due to run from October 20 -26 2020. Richard Harris International Film Festival 2020 is postponed until 2021Д«y I Love Limerick correspondent Sarah Langton Kelly He was diagnosed earlier this year with Hodgkin's, a cancer affecting the lymph nodes, and it claimed him in a London hospital on Friday night.Richard Harris International вЂ“ Richard Harris, who was named number 3 on the Irish Times top Irish film actors of 2020, was one of the first of the Irish film stars to make it big in Hollywood. It struck me at the time that he seemed subdued and even sad. When I talked with Harris for the last time, in September 2001, it was late at night at the Toronto Film Festival, and he was sitting at an outdoor cafe with a pint of forbidden lager.

But he advised his fellow actors not to take it too seriously: 'There is real life out there. The Harry Potter movies, near the end of his life, made him a legion of new fans, as the 'Star Wars' pictures had earlier done for Sir Alec Guinness. The role won him an Academy Award nomination, and a few years later he won more praise for his work in Clint Eastwood's ' Unforgiven,' as English Bob, a gunslinger who travels with his own biographer. In 1990 he made a comeback with ' The Field,' a grim, dour Irish story about a man who determines to transform a wasteland into farmland by hauling buckets of seaweed to it on his back.

Unhappy with the scripts he was being offered, Harris largely withdrew from films in the 1990s, continuing to tour in 'Camelot,' with which he drew full houses all over the world.

Sixty of his 70 movies were 'crap,' he said, and we was equally free in criticizing his fellow actors. His most famous role was probably 'A Man Called Horse' (1970), in which he played a British traveler in the American west who is captured by Indians, survives a grueling test of his manhood, and is welcomed into the tribe.

The difference between me and Richard Burton is, I stopped drinking and am still appearing in 'Camelot.' He did not, and is not.'ДЄfter a sensational debut as a rugby player in 'This Sporting Life' (1963), Harris played a series of tough-guy roles and then surprised everyone with his performance as the gentle King Arthur in ' Camelot' (1968). 'Let's face it,' Reed told me in 1969, 'They like somebody like Richard Harris or myself, somebody who's a boozer and gets in fights and is colorful as hell.'Д«ut Harris stopped drinking, on medical advice, in the early 1980s, and told me at the time: 'I locked myself in my house with a bottle in every room and told my brother, 'If I don't come out in a week, come in for me because I'll be dead.' I went cold turkey. Harris was a mercurial stage actor who was often linked with Richard Burton, Peter O'Toole and Oliver Reed as a legendary drinker and bar-fighter.
