Riverine Film Screening

As part of Carlow Climate Action Week VISUAL presents Riverine, a film produced by the Shaking Bog Festival based in the Glencree Valley that celebrates the intersection where arts and nature meet. 

Directed by multi award winning director Alan Gilsenan, Riverine celebrates and connects the diverse communities of both people and nature that populate the Dargle River Basin. It is a visual poem that includes snippets taken from audio recordings of conversations and meetings with residents of all ages from the mountains of Glencree to the seafront in Bray. The making of Riverine has been as much about the process as the outcome. It has offered people an opportunity to meet, share memories and reflect on their sense of place. Riverine also includes a specially commissioned written meditation on rivers by the acclaimed writer and friend of The Shaking Bog, Kerri ní Dochartaigh.

Preceding the film at 3pm, Shaking Bog will present The Council of All Beings Workshop facilitated by ecologist Dr. Laura Kehoe. Wearing masks and symbols, it is an interactive, guided practice to allow nature to speak through us. 

Tickets are €20 to attend both the workshop and screening and can be booked here.
