‘Where the Wind is Always Young’ is a short film by Declan Foley. This is an audio-visual record of seven poems written by Declan Doherty, five of which he recited for the film.
It was filmed in the last five months of Declan Doherty’s life and is in a way his final testament.
The Battle of Assaroe is a film by Allingham Committee member, Emer O Shea. It explores the history of Assaroe Lake, its performance as a habitat for wildlife and the impact of the hydroelectric power plant on the landscape of Ballyshannon and the River Erne. This beautiful film will bring the viewer on a trip down memory lane and at the same time pose questions about the future of the lake.
This film has won 7 awards from film festivals worldwide including Best Short Documentary in Venezeula and Best Inspirational Film in Florence.
