Artist's biography

James Horgan

Description

Youghal Clock Tower is a light-hearted and playful exploration of the possibilities of animation in its infancy. Depicting the well-known landmark dancing into frame, the clock gate comes to life, spinning and dancing through the main street of the Cork town. A representation of the clock tower is given as a trophy for best first animation at the Galway Film Fleadh every year. It should be noted that 1910 is only the film’s estimated date of production; while it dates from this period, the exact year is unknown.'
