Roche back in saddle to launch film festival

IRISH cycling legend Stephen Roche was back in the saddle last night to power a projector at the launch of one of the country’s most exciting film festivals.

Roche, the only Irishman to win the Tour de France, helped provide the muscle for the human-powered cinema which screened clips as details of the Corona Fastnet Short Film Festival in Schull were announced.

The picturesque west Cork seaside village will be transformed for four days, between May 27 to 30, to celebrate the short film.
