From Gods to Hidden Folk: A Fairy Folklore Documentary

This documentary explores the history and mystery of fairies across cultures, tracing their origins from ancient times to the modern world. Through folklore, myth, and legend, we uncover how fairies were seen as diminished gods, guardians of nature, tricksters, and even dangerous spirits. From Celtic Aos Sí and Scottish brownies to Slavic rusalki, Norse landvættir, and the changeling legends of Europe, fairies reflect humanity’s fears, desires, and moral beliefs. We follow their transformation across centuries: revered as powerful otherworldly beings, feared as bringers of misfortune, and later reimagined as whimsical, winged figures in Victorian art and literature. The film also explores the famous Cottingley fairies photographs of 1917, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s belief in their authenticity, and the living traditions of hidden folk in Iceland, Ireland, and Scotland today. Fairies are not just fantasy, they are cultural mirrors, tied to the land, morality, and the unseen. Join us as we uncover how folklore shaped fairies and why their presence still lingers in story, ritual, and imagination.
