Documentary2026

A JOURNEY INTO THE HEART OF THE SEAN-NÓS SINGING TRADITION This film follows the women singers of the Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking) region of West Cork on a journey to the heart of the Sean-nós singing tradition with a focus on the relationship between acclaimed singer and teacher Máire Ní Chéileachair and the 11-year old Shahira Apraku - a young student of German/Ghanese heritage. Selected to represent Ireland at the 2013 EU Film Festival of India & Nepal. "Utterly Beguiling From Beginning to End" (Ross Whitaker - Stranger than Fiction Documentary Film Festival) ___________________________________________________________________________________ Sean-nós (unaccompanied traditional Irish singing) is considered to be the holy grail of Irish Traditional Music and the Sean-nós singer is the living embodiment of a tradition that stretches back, in an almost unbroken lineage, to a time before the fall of the Gaelic nobility. The oldest Sean-nós songs come from the aisling or "vision" songs in which a poet has a vision by a river of a Spéirbhean (a sky-woman) symbolising Ireland. Aisling Gheal (Bright Vision) is one of the most revered songs from this tradition and is also the name of the organization responsible for helping to bring the tradition to the next generations through it’s school and after-school programmes run by the women in the film. In a world of iTunes and YouTube it may seem like an impossible task to maintain interest in this complex, and fiercely protected, tradition but somehow they’re helping to keep it alive and attracting young protégés all the time. Amongst the young singers is the 10-year old Shahira Apraku (a daughter of African/German parents) who attends the local Gaelscoil and embodies an entire new upcoming generation of Irish-speakers. Shahira’s journey, the struggles of the women, the songs of the Sean-nós and the flow of the Sullane river provide parallel intersecting narrative vehicles for this documentary, yielding insights into this very precious part of our culture in the course of its unfolding, and challenging some of our key contemporary notions of ‘Irishness’ in the process. ____________________________________________________________________________________ This is the 2nd film in Dónal Ó Céilleachair’s ‘An Irish Music Trilogy’ that includes: 3-TRIÚR (2012), Aisling Gheal (2013) & From Coolea to Iona (2014).

An intimate portrait of a unique Irish artist, who continues to find extraordinary beauty in the absolutely ordinary, while illuminating a whole other way of looking at the world around us, in the process. Winner of The Cork Shorts Award – Cork Film Festival, 2014 “We are delighted to award filmmaker Dónal Ó Céilleachair for the outstanding way in which he captures the talent and spirit of this artist.” – The Festival Jury Commissioned by The Arts Office of Cork County Council ___________________________________________________________________________________ The Muskerry West Cork Gaeltacht has a legendary reputation for its traditional music and for its poetry. But amongst the community there are also a flourishing and growing number of artists working there, inspired by the magic of the surrounding landscape and it’s cultural heritage. Described by Con Houlihan as “one of our leading painters”, Tadhg McSweeney was born here in 1936. He is a well-traveled artist - having trained in Dublin, London and in Italy - and he has held solo exhibitions throughout the world; honing and perfecting his craft for over 50 years. But despite the lure of the greater world, Tadhg continues to reside in the area, finding apparently endless inspiration in the natural landscapes and themes of his home surroundings. Brian Lynch writes ‘The simplicity, the stubbornness, the freshness, and the joy he finds in nature are facets of an ongoing self-portrait, expressions of the soul of an original artistic personality. He is in the tradition of Irish genius, but there is no genius like him. Tadgh McSweeney is unique’. This film is an intimate portrait of a unique Irish artist, who continues to find extraordinary beauty in the absolutely ordinary, while illuminating a whole other way of looking at the world around us, in the process. ___________________________________________________________________________________ If you enjoy this film you can watch more films from the ANÚ ONLINE CINEMA here: vimeo.com/anupictures/vod_pages Plus you can now get an Unlimited Access Pass to all of the ANÚ ONLINE CINEMA (unlimited at 50% off individual title rates) http://www.anupictures.com/product/anu-online-cinema-unlimited-access/ ____________________________________________________________________________________ Further info. on this and other Anú Pictures films on: http://www.anupictures.com/

Documentary2026

Dreamtime Revisited, an award winning film by Dónal Ó Céilleachair and Julius Ziz, is a ‘Walkabout in Dreamtime Ireland’ inspired by the works of Irish writer, poet and philosopher, John Moriarty considered by many “as a major writer, comparable to Yeats, Joyce and Beckett” (Guardian Obituary 2007). Dreamtime Revisited weaves together contemporary and archive material in a labyrinthine invocation of his “dream-vision” of Ireland; exploring the spiritual and poetic dimensions of its landscape and people. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Winner of the Michael Dwyer Award for Outstanding Irish Film 2012 The film was released theatrically in Ireland in 2012. ___________________________________________________________________________________ REVIEWS: 'Poetic, Deep & Beautiful' Iranian Director Mohsen Makhmalbaf ‘A dreamy celebration of great poetic beauty . . . fans of Terrence Malick really should check out this Irish offering’ Gavin Burke - The Irish Independent ‘Julius Ziz and Dónal Ó Céilleachair have made a transcendentally beautiful film . . . a technical triumph’ The Irish Times ‘A piece of truly original cinema! . . . Not just food for thought but a feast for thought!’ Poet Paul Durcan 'If you are looking to experience beauty with your eyes and ears, this is certainly the (film) to see‘ MacKenzie Brooke (wordpress.com) 'A marriage of visuals and words, this is a strange and sensuous experience . . . something otherworldly' Entertainment.ie 'Magical, wondrous, sensual and spiritual . . . Aesthetically this film is a varied feast of epic sweeping views that would make Peter Jackson jealous. . . a nostalgic, heart-wrenching and at times hilarious piece of cinema. ' Film Ireland Magazine ‘Reawakens a more mystical dimension of Irish experience, one to which the majority of us have become closed off.’ Padraic Killeen – The Examiner 'A magical, hallucinatory feast of wonders. I emerged from the cinema spellbound and soul-bathed' Mike Scott (The Waterboys) 'Dreamtime, Revisited is like a long Imagist poem' Paddy Kehoe, RTE 'Philosopher-poet John Moriarty drank deep from the well of Irish mythology, seeking a new understanding of what it means to be Irish, to be Celtic, to be human. Dreamtime Revisited illuminates his quest with a mesmeric kaleidoscope of images from Ireland’s past and present, in a joyous tribute to one of the sharpest minds that Ireland has produced in our time.' Michael Gray, Film Critic - Irish Echo NEW YORK 'This film is not just like a poem, it is a poem; a visual poem' Poet Tony Curtis 'Dreamtime Revisited, in presenting John Moriarty in all his clarity and urgency, invokes the power of the mystical, the metaphorical and the magical, and offers . . .an opportunity to snatch ourselves back from the edge of the abyss we have constructed' John Waters, Writer 'Dreamtime Revisited is a poem ... it achieves a sense of what John would invoke time and time again during his life. I can watch and re-watch this piece and feel the same pleasure as I do from listening and re-listening to a great song. Molaim an Obair (I Praise the Work).'
