Trailer for a piece which I worked on the animation of in November 2019. Currently on film festival route.
Beochan / Animation: Mary Smyth
Total film length: 45min
Description:
"This new creative collaboration between Singer & Composer Fiona Kelleher, Musician Caoimhín Vallely and Filmmaker Dónal Ó Céilleachair brings to life an Irish Suantraí (Magical/Lullaby) Song Cycle based on the poetry of Seamus Ó Céilleachair and Seán Ó Riordán (An Creagar). This cycle of newly composed songs breathes new life into the narrative of these unique poems in an invocation of the fragility and strength of the human spirit and the ever present inspiration and magic gifted to us by the natural world. The collaboration combines the forces of film and music (live and recorded) in celebration of the unique traditions of poetry and music of the legendary West County Cork Gaeltacht (Irish Speaking Region) of Múscraí."
