2024-02-20 14:00 - 15:30 | Martin Hall, New College, Mound Place, Edinburgh, EH1 2LX, United Kingdom
Film aithriseach 30m a tha ag innse mu chàirdeas 15 bliadhna eadar neach-ealain agus coimhearsnachd Ghàidhlig anns na h-Eileanan an Iar. Thèid ath-fhuaimneachadh seinn nan Salm air muir, na bàtaichean seòlaidh traidiseanta agus agallamhan ris na seann daoine gar thoirt air turas gaoil, call agus creideimh ach le dùthchas agus beartas an t-saoghail Ghàidhlig an còmhnaidh na bhunait.
The haunting sound of Gaelic psalms, the elegant traditional boats and interviews with elders in the community carry us on a journey of love, loss and faith, all underpinned by their “dùthchas”. The film is in Scottish Gaelic with an opening and closing voiceover in the narrators native Irish Gaelic. Subtitles in English throughout.
