...more October 10, 2024John McEvoy: Silver Screens & Censored Scenes The Hirschfeld Biograph was a cinema housed within the Hirschfeld Centre, which was opened in Temple Bar in March 1979 by the National Gay Federation. The Biograph, with a max capacity of 55, operated every second Monday and had two screenings. It eventually became a roaring success.
The success of the Biograph was down to the efforts of one man, John McEvoy, who ran the Hirschfeld Biograph throughout its almost seven-year history. John brought a great level of commitment and professionalism to the running of the Biograph. We sit down with John to recount those years, and the story behind his beloved Biograph.
Resources and articles from John on the Hirschfeld Biograph are available here.
