St Brigid's Well - Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin in interview with Susan MacKay

#ToBeIrish #StBrigidsDay #Éireannach #LáFhéileBríde This film was created for the Lá Fhéile Bríde / St Brigid's Day global Irish Festival of 2022. It is a celebration of the life and career of Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin, in interview with journalist and author Susan MacKay. Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin is a poet, translator and editor. A Fellow and Professor of English (Emerita) at Trinity College, Dublin and a member of Aosdána, she served as Ireland Professor of Poetry from 2016-2019. The opportunity to create this film arose from an exhibition of new artworks by 86 women artists, who were responding to a poem specially commissioned from Eiléan, titled "St Brigid's Well". The poem was published for the first time in the catalogue for the exhibition and receives its first public reading by the author in this film. In the interview Eiléan and Susan also discuss many of the old Irish traditions surrounding St Brigid's day, as well as Eiléans life and career as a poet, and her views on the meaning and significance of art, creativity and poetry in society. "St Brigid’s Well" is the third invited artists exhibition produced by Hamilton Gallery to coincide with the Lá Fhéile Bríde / St Brigids Day celebration of women and creativity, an initiative created and pioneered by Ireland’s Foreign Ministry, by Irish embassies and consulates around the world. Prior exhibitions in this series were inspired by the work of the novelist and poet Leland Bardwell, a close friend of Eiléan Ni Chuilleanáin, and by the life and legacy of poet, dramatist, suffragist human rights and labour activist Eva Gore-Booth (2020). The film is produced by Hamilton Gallery in partnership with the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs. Film production is by Omedia.
