A Film from my Parish - 6 Farms

Un film dalla mia parrocchia - 6 fattorie

In these stories told by the people on six different farms, the rural traditions of Tipperary Country farmers have not yet given way to the modern consumer lifestyle. Mixing animation and live-action footage, Donoghue has made a visually innovative documentary at low environmental impact using basic equipment, a bicycle to get around with, and natural light. The film has been shown at numerous international festivals, including the 2009 Sundance Film Festival.
