It will bring the visitors, and puts Cork on the map.
A taxi driver says this is a week when he is busy, but this feeling is not shared by all, with another interviewee declaring that,

Another woman has no time whatsoever for the festival,
Measaim nach bhfuil cultúr le fáil ann, agus gur airgead amú é.
A first time attendee has been to see many films, and has had a positive experience of the festival.
I felt it most interesting, and enjoyed it very much.
These interviews were recorded during the 1964 Cork Film Festival for 'A Munster Journal’. The reporter is Donncha Ó Dúlaing.
