He received his doctorate from the University of Ulster in 1989. He taught film studies at University College Dublin before joining the faculty at Trinity College in 2000. He was made a Fellow of the College in 2004, receiving his Master in Arts (jure officii),[2] and currently serves as head of Trinity College's school of drama, film and music.[3] In 1995 Rockett wrote the screenplay for the film Irish Cinema: Ourselves Alone?, directed by Donald Taylor Black.[4] Partial bibliography
RecognitionThe Irish Times wrote in 1996 of Rockett's early work Cinema and Ireland (1987), offering that it "remains the Bible of Irish film studies."[5] Filmmaker Bob Quinn wrote of Irish Filmography: Fiction Films 1896 – 1996 (1996), stating [the book is] "an extraordinary opus ... Rockett is an excellent and painstaking scholar. Never before has anybody attempted to document in one volume every film ever made in or about Ireland. ... The amount of detail he has unearthed is no less than stupendous. ... The nearest literary analogy I can think of is Dineen's Irish Dictionary",[2] Jeff Brownrigg of Australia's National Film and Sound Archive wrote that the book is "an indispensable tool for the researcher." and that it "provides a valuable source of information about a large group of international narrative feature films gathered together under the head of their general association with Ireland." He comments on the book's nearly two thousand entries and makes note of its comprehensive nature, concluding that it "is clearly an essential reference for libraries and will be sought by film buffs."[6] Lir Mac Cárthaigh of Film Ireland wrote that Neil Jordan: exploring boundaries (2003) "provides a convenient starting-point for anyone intending to write about Jordan's work, the history of Irish film, or cinematic representations."[7] John Kelleher, former Director of the Irish Film Classification Office, referred to Rockett's book Irish Film Censorship (2004) as the key text on the subject.[8] It was described as "magisterial," (Hugh Linehan, Irish Times) "monumental," (RTÉ Radio 1) "meticulous," (Luke Gibbons, Irish Times) and "fascinating" (Kim Bielenberg, Irish Independent).[2] In 2001 Rockett received the Irish Film Institute Award for Contribution to Irish Film.[9] References1. ^{{cite journal|jstor=25515476|title=Origins and Orientations: An Interview with Kevin Rockett on Irish Film Studies|last=O'Rawe|first=Des|year=2003|work=Canadian Journal of Irish Studies|publisher=|volume=29|pages=57–61|doi=10.2307/25515476}} 2. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url=http://tcdlocalportal.tcd.ie/pls/public/staff.detail?p_unit=drama&p_name=krockett|title=School of Drama, Film and Music, Staff bio|publisher=Trinity College, Dublin|accessdate=23 December 2009}} 3. ^1 {{cite news|url=http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/finance/2009/0508/1224246114943.html|title=Merging art and technology|last=Lillington|first=Karlin|date=8 May 2009|publisher=Irish Times|accessdate=23 December 2009}} 4. ^{{cite news|url=https://movies.nytimes.com/person/1132729/Kevin-Rockett/filmography|title=Kevin Rockett filmography|publisher=New York Times|accessdate=23 December 2009}} 5. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/features/1996/0816/96081600069.html|title=Living in the past?|date=8 August 1996|publisher=Irish Times|accessdate=24 December 2009}} 6. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.latrobe.edu.au/screeningthepast/shorts/reviews/rocket.html |title=review: The Irish filmography: fiction films 1896 – 1996 |last=Brownrigg |first=Jeff |work=National Film and Sound Archive |publisher=La Trobe University |accessdate=22 December 2009 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20081013051726/http://www.latrobe.edu.au/screeningthepast/shorts/reviews/rocket.html |archivedate=13 October 2008 |df= }} 7. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.filmireland.net/92/bookreview.htm |title=Rev. of Neil Jordan: Exploring Boundaries |last=Cárthaigh |first=Lir Mac |publisher=Film Ireland |accessdate=23 December 2009 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20091225050543/http://www.filmireland.net/92/bookreview.htm |archivedate=25 December 2009 |df= }} 8. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/weekend/2009/1128/1224259594692.html|title=The director who didn't say 'cut'|date=28 November 2009|publisher=Irish Times|accessdate=23 December 2009}} 9. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.iftn.ie/?act1=record&aid=73&rid=3076&sr=1&only=1&hl=kieran&tpl=archnews|title=2001 Irish Film Ball Honours Key Industry Figures|date=22 November 2001|publisher=IFTN|accessdate=23 December 2009}} External links{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Rockett, Kevin}} 6 : Irish writers|Irish educators|Irish historians|Film historians|Living people|Year of birth missing (living people) |
