Anua is an experimental film and sonic journey exploring our relationship to land, language, sound, mythology and the ‘Otherworld’.
It is narrated and inspired by the work of the late Manchán Magan and in particular his work around dinnseanchas (lore of place), placenames, the Irish language and the power of resonance. The film tells a new story following the meeting of Amergin (supposedly our oldest ancestor in Ireland) and the Cailleach (the hag or crone of Irish mythology). Sound, and particularly the sound of Irish words, acts as a portal into another way of experiencing everyday landscapes.
Directed by Aoise Tutty Jackson and Produced by Maggie Ryan with an original score by Kevin McNally, Kevin O'Shanahan and featuring Gamelan Spréacha Geala.
This special screening is in honour of Manchán Magan. Passages from his work will be read by Karen Minihan and there will be a short song sharing session with Eithne O’ Mahony agus a chairde from the Abair Amhrán singing project after the screening
