A very popular contributor to the festival, Ken Fox of Canterbury Christ Church University brings his fascinating view on how Donegal has been portrayed on film down the years.Portrayal of the county tends to concentrate on mountains, valleys, lakes and rivers and the magnificent vistas of the Atlantic Ocean beating on the rugged coastline.
Ken will offer a fascinating look at how these representations of the landscape overlap and merge with the human made elements of the county , such as the border , tourists and our troubled past.It is this , what he terms “magic primitivism” that makes Donegal such an attraction for film makers .Ken’s talks are always enlightening and never less than entertaining.Not to be missed.
