This meditative, experimental Irish documentary follows the multidisciplinary artist and shepherd Orla Barry as she reflects on the influence her farming life has had on her art.
Orla Barry is a hard-working, lipstick-wearing sheep farmer in rural Wexford. She is also a visual artist, renowned for her video and sound art. She strides confidently from art seminars to the Tullamore Show, lambing in April and shearing in June, working tirelessly to make a living from eco-farming in the face of global demand for faster, cheaper meats and wools. But while tied to the demands of the ovine calendar she must make time to let her creativity flow.
Cara Holmes’s delightful feature debut is filled with wit and whimsy, with lush landscapes, surprising choral interventions, Barry’s art, and soothing images of handsome sheep. It is a joyous portrait of one artist by another and a celebration of feminism, independence, and a love of the environment.
18 spectacular months in the life of an incredible 210-year-old oak tree.
A lot of things happen around an old oak tree: squirrels chase acorns, jays are fiercely pursued by a hawk in wild action stunts, insects buzz, wild boars visit to rub their bristles. Heart of an Oak tells a sensuous, wordless story of the beautiful cycle of nature and how life hums along with innumerable connections between flora and fauna – as the oak’s branches leaf and reach out into the sky, and its incredible network of roots forge new life underground.

The film takes a critical look at the barriers women have faced making music in the past, and still face today. It asks how we can inspire young women to make music, if those who do so are continuously erased from our cultural history. Written & narrated by award-nominated musician Carla J.
