If you missed "The Camino Voyage" at the Irish Film Festival in May there is another chance to see it on the big screen as part of the Winda Film Festival on Fri Nov 22nd. Tickets here: https://windafilmfest.com/films/the-camino-voyage/ The Winda Film Festival celebrates indigenous languages in film and the Irish Film Festival are delighted to be supporting Indigenous languages in Australia. The Camino Voyage is mostly shot in the Irish language and we are delighted to share our experience of language survival with our Indigenous Brothers and Sisters. Irish Film Festival Director, Enda Murray will introduce the Camino Voyage screening on November 22nd so expect a cúpla focal on the night! Winda means ‘stars’ in the Gumbaynggirr language from the north coast of New South Wales. The name of the festival draws inspiration from Aboriginal Astronomy, where we look to the stars for guidance, creation and for our ancestors. The logo is the star trail of the Milky Way which is seen across the Southern Hemisphere, and also inspired by The Emu In The Sky dreaming as one of the creation stories that crosses the nations of Australia. The Wurhu Darhuy Foundation, meaning Our Voices in Yaegl, is a collective of Indigenous filmmakers who strive to create, foster and support opportunities for Indigenous voices to empower, unify, inspire and entertain, through social, economic, innovation and self-sufficiency programs for the advancement of Aborigional cultures, and stories in digital landscapes. Established in 2016, Winda Film Festival celebrates emerging and established Indigenous filmmakers from across Australia and around the world. In 2018, Winda would like to acknowledge and thank our major partners UTS: Jumbunna Institute, Create NSW and City of Sydney for their support and commitment to Indigenous screen. Also, Wurhu Darhuy Foundation and Event Cinemas for their continued support and partnership.

A Lifetime of Stories - The new documentary about Irish Seniors in Sydney, which premiered at the Irish Film Festival 2019, is now available ONLINE for FREE. View here: http://irishassociation.org.au/a-lifetime-of-stories-seniors-oral-history-project/ A Lifetime of Stories – Oral histories of Irish seniors in Sydney – is a documentary and web project that tells the amazing life stories of Sydney’s Irish seniors. The documentary premiered at the Irish Film Festival in Sydney and is now available free online. A Lifetime of Stories is a 40 minute documentary and also a website with in-depth interviews with the participants. The participants come from the four provinces of Ireland. Pat Foley, Tomás de Bhaldraithe, Marion Reilly, Marie McMillan and Damien McCloskey tell their own stories with humour, style and wisdom. Pat Foley is 90 years young and still gracing the dancefloors of Sydney! Pat left Moyvane in County Kerry in the early 50’s and worked on the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electrical scheme. Damien McCloskey grew up in Derry and witnessed some of the tumultuous events in that city including Bloody Sunday in 1972. Damien played snooker doubles with Hurricane Higgins! Marion Reilly is from Connemara and had the adventure of a lifetime when she travelled to Australia overland on a hippy bus in the 70’s. Tomás de Bhaldraithe is from Dublin and is a learned Gaelic scholar and a skilled sailor of Galway hookers. Marie McMillan is from Dublin. Marie is a skilled performer and has won numerous awards at slam poetry battles around Sydney. A Lifetime of Stories was devised with the interviewees by director Dr Enda Murray using a workshop-based process which incorporated elements of creative writing, drama and music.
