Má Deirim by Owen Kilfeather
Score for a film collaboration with visual and performance artist Nic Flanagan, the performance employing Irish mythology as a means of engaging with and recontextualising folkloric dialogue in contemporary thought - specifically, the Hag of Bhéara, the ‘Queen of Winter’, a seasonal spirit whose stories are rich in humour, humanity and conflict.
