IRISH FOCUS: LISTEN TO THE LAND SPEAK

Director: Maurice O’Brien

75 mins, Ireland, 2025, Digital


The late Manchán Magan explores the profound knowledge and wisdom contained in Ireland’s landscape in this visually breathtaking journey which unfolds through the seasons – from Imbolc/Brigid’s Day to the Winter Solstice – along rivers, mountains, and ancient mythical sites. He reflects on how this wisdom can help us rebuild our relationship with nature today. But it also becomes an unexpectedly personal story as Manchán realises that there is a serious illness within himself that makes him see this history in a whole new light.

With introductions from director Maurice O’Brien and Ruán Magan.
