August twentieth, 2022
Dùthchas is a new documentary screening Scotland-wide as a part of the seventy fifth Edinburgh Worldwide Movie Pageant.
For the folks of Berneray, an island within the Sound of Harris, life modified dramatically within the latter a part of the final century. Conventional methods of life eroded, and lots of households had been pressured to maneuver away.
Drawing on uncommon 8mm color movie of Berneray, administrators Andy MacKinnon and Kirsty MacDonald supply a bridge between the up to date residents and their not-so-distant previous.
The result’s a movie of nice emotion that speaks to the significance of place and the resilience of tradition via language, music and reminiscences.
