Join us for a special evening celebrating women, heritage and storytelling at Portaferry Recreation Hub, 40 Shore Road, Portaferry (beside Portaferry Sailing Club) We are delighted to be hosting this event.
"Treasuring South Armagh Stories: Úna Walsh celebrates the life and work of one of South Armagh’s most respected historians, educators and storytellers.
The film is the first in a new series focussed on the women working in heritage in rural communities. Through interviews, new film and archive footage from Northern Ireland Screen’s Digital Film Archive, the documentary highlights Úna Walsh’s lifelong commitment to gathering and sharing the stories that shape South Armagh.
Created by women from the local community, the film reflects the importance of preserving lived experiences and passing local knowledge through generations."
Presented by Emma McAleer (Rural Community Network) and Brónagh McAtasney (Northern Ireland Screen), who will discuss the community engagement and filmmaking process that brought the project to life and how this might work in your area.
