BILLY LAMONT with his “bullhorn of truth” at the Save Our Cinema Protest on last Saturday! Lamont said “this bullhorn of justice sheds light on darkness” as spitting some of his spontaneous verse into the bullhorn as leading some chants at the Save Our Cinema Protest!

The Save Our Cinema Protest is to reinstate Cinema Arts Centre founding family member DYLAN SKOLNIK to the Board after being senselessly ousted from the Board, and his reputation being inhumanely smeared recently.

I was honored to join the 300 wonderful film/art lover everyday “We The People” community in the – SAVE OUR CINEMA Protest – in support of DYLAN SKOLNIK a few hours ago! CIMEMA ARTS CENTRE & it’s Founding Members the late VIC SKOLNIK and CHARLOTTE SKY, along with their son DYLAN SKOLNIK, have been & are a huge part of independent film and Long Island Art Community for many, many years & it is appalling to me that CINEMA ART CENTRE’s new Board have the poison gall to oust DYLAN inhumanely from the Board of His Families’ & His Legacy… & while cruelly smearing his great character with unjust accusations!!! I was honored to spontaneously lead Protest chants of “Save Our Cinema” in my bullhorn as sometimes reciting improv new poetry flowing from me, along with lines from protestor’s witty protest signs, as people driving by on Park Ave were honking their horns in a chorus of support for the protest!!! Everyday good people using their voices soulfully for what matters to their Long Island home community in Huntington, NY today (saturday) was beautiful to behold!!! ❤ ❤ ❤

CINEMA ARTS CENTRE: One of Long Island’s most important and revered cultural institutions is in danger.

We (members, friends and cinema supporters) are outraged that the Cinema Arts Centre Board is making reckless decisions that have thrown this treasured arts organization into chaos.

The decision to fire long time CAC Co-Director Dylan Skolnick without cause, then smear his reputation with vague innuendo, is unforgivable. Dylan has dedicated his entire adult life to the CAC and has played the prime role in growing it into an internationally respected cinema.

BILLY LAMONT “PROTEST: A DECLARATION FOR THE STROBE LIGHT GENERATION “ Poem Song Link: https://youtu.be/8jjID7m1ngs?is=tECfdBzjwVjeELSa

The most deeply moving part of experiemcing DUBLIN, IRELAND for a few days was visiting KILMAINHAM GAOL a former prison in Dublin, Ireland. It is now a museum that is a crucial site for understanding Irish history, particularly the struggle for independence, as it held and executed many leaders of rebellions, including the 1916 Easter Rising.

A few things that struck me the most was that they put starving men and women, including children begging for food in the streets, sometimes without parents, and one child was even three years old when put in this prison to clean up the streets. Heartbreaking stuff.

Prisoners of note were 14 rebels from 1916 Easter Rising, 7 of which signed the proclamation of independance of the Republic of Ireland. There were 4 eighteen-nineteen year old young men that revolted as Ireland was focused on fighting in World War I, that were executed in this prison (the exact spot is where there is a wood cross in my photographs) and when word spread on what happened this event was the catalyst for Ireland to fight and gain their liberty and freedom as a Republic in 1922.

Another interesting note is that Eamonn De Valeria, who was in there in 1920, was born in NYC so an American citizen. He was a rebel but not executed due to him being an American citizen. He went on to become President De Valera, President Of Ireland.

It was deeply impactful to sit in the prison Church Chapel where two inmates of Kilmainham Jail – JOSEPH PLUNKET and GRACE GIFFORD got married and were able to spend 10 minutes together supervised by guards, the day before JOSEPH PLUNKET was executed. I visited and took photos of Grace and Joseph’s cells from the outside. GRACE had a mural she painted of the Virgin Mary inside here cell that I tried to photograph through the cell door peep hole.

ROD STEWART sings a beautiful version of the song GRACE, written by The Dubliners, about this story of Joseph Plunket and Grace Gifford. Rod Stewart visited the jail before he recorded the song GRACE. Song Link: https://youtu.be/HQQ1LP5rCOM?is=N2FWVXx8bq45qjPa

Kilmainham Jail is singularly the most historic place in ireland. I am grateful that I was able to visit with my loved friend PAT BUTLER.

The Other Perspective Media/Management
& The Poet’s Eye:
BILLY LAMONT BRIEF BIO For January 2023

Billy Lamont is a NY based American poet, spoken word artist, recording artist, and experimental multi-media performance poet with a reformer spirit, and international reach. He has performed on national television a number of times, including the Joe Franklin Show, MTV and Much Music Television, and has toured and performed with rock festivals such as Lollapalooza 1994, 1995, 2003, and appeared on major and college radio stations, and given book signings at major and independent bookstores across the U.S.

As a young man Lamont was part of a two week missionary team sent from Smithtown Gospel Tabernacle to Ukraine, in 1992, where he additionally did public speaking which included him reciting some of his poetry. This experience of spending time with the beautiful people of Ukraine resonates in Lamont’s heart and prayers extra brightly now, in this dark time of Putin led murderous invasion of Ukraine.

Lamont has recited his poems of comfort for families of September 11th, 2001 disaster In Union Square, NYC a few days after the tragedy, and in 2013 for victims of Hurricane Sandy in his then hometown of Babylon, NY.

He has recited his poems of justice on behalf of Jubilee 2000, and a debt free start for nations of the global south at The Knitting Factory in NYC in 2000, when the largest amount of petitions ever was gathered (up to that point,) and days before the first national mobilization gathering in Washington DC. He would then serve on the board of directors for Jubilee USA for a number of years.

He also recited his poems of justice several times at Occupy Wall Street in NYC in 2011, and to kick off worldwide March Against Monsanto In Union Square, NYC In 2014. Lamont received a Guinness World Record in 2014 for his poetry recital part in the Longest Officially Released Recording by Mike Peters of The Alarm, to help foster peace between Muslims, Christians and Jews in The Holy Land, and to benefit Love Hope Foundation, and those fighting cancer.

Lamont has three books of poetry and nine album CD/digital download releases. His latest book Words Ripped From A Soul Still Bleeding: Poems For The Future Edition is a great success, and is available at Barnes And Noble and Amazon as a paperback, or as an eBook, and all his albums are distributed by The Orchard and can be streamed on Spotify and Apple Music.
