Comment on Young Irish Film Makers by pienmash

As an obvious lover of Irish related film we thought we’d give you our latest news …

British Feature Fiction Film ‘BILLY & LILLY GO TO NEW YORK’ will have its World Première at the WATERFORD FILM FESTIVAL. The film is made by critically acclaimed maverick director Bill Maloney (LUNATIC) The film is shot in a realistic documentary style but it is a spoof. Bill playing himself (a cockney –speaking Irishman) goes to New York to represent his nominated feature film at a NY Film Festival but he decides to bypass the festival glitz in favour of shooting a documentary about the homeless people of NY. Their efforts lead to a tragic close.

It would be great to see you at the Festival if you can make it – or tell your friends who live nearby?

It is true. “RE:” is short for the Latin phrase, “Per Res” which means “by the thing.”

It mean a side note or an after thought, but has come to mean “in reply/response to.” or “regards/concerning.”

It all comes down to following up on something someone else has written or said.

Best to you all!

No, it really is from latin. More literally, re stands for “by the thing”. From the ablative of res (“thing” or “circumstance”). It is a common misconception that the “Re:” in correspondence is an abbreviation for regarding or reply; this is not the case. The use of Latin “re”, in the sense of “about, concerning”, is English usage.

And yes, it’s used in legal texts too.
