Ports, Past and Present: Free film screening and creative events at Fishguard
--
This weekend’s On Land’s Edge festival in Fishguard will include a free film screening and creative events inspired by heritage around the Irish Sea.
These events will be held by the Ports, Past and Present project funded by the European Regional Development Fund through the Ireland Wales Co-operation Programme.
On Sunday 25 September, as part of the On Land’s Edge festival, Theatr Gwaun will host Creative Connections, an event showcasing some of the works created by writers and artists who have been working with communities across the five ferry port towns: Fishguard, Pembroke Dock, Holyhead, Rosslare Port and Dublin Port.
Join the project team at 3pm for a special viewing of David Begley’s animated film The Wexford Whale, and for Peter Stevenson and Jacob Whittaker’s short film Uisce Dŵr Water. There will also be readings by the author Jon Gower from his upcoming book about the Irish Sea, and the launch of a book of folk tales set around Fishguard and Goodwick. Book your free ticket.
At 5pm there will be a screening of At the Water’s Edge.
This documentary was filmed across five ferry port communities around the Irish Sea, following local people with a passion for their town’s history and heritage.
