Iarla O'Lionaird

In 1950s Ireland and New York, young Eilis Lacey has to choose between two men and two countries.

The film concerns an old Irish immigrant living in London who is looking back over his life. He recalls his early life in the west of Ireland, his first love, emigrating to England, searching for his brother Joe, who disappeared after he emigrated several years previously. His marriage and wife's later depth is also remembered.

In this bi-lingual “documentary musical” from acclaimed director Alan Gilsenan, the poet Paul Muldoon explores life and language in a series of musical collaborations with a stellar array of artists including Paul Simon, Liam Neeson, PJ Harvey, Bono, Ruth Negga, Paul Brady, Run DMC and Iarla O’Lionáird.

Documentary about how the Irish remember those who fought in the 1916 Easter Rising and the ensuing civil war.

For Martin Hayes, Iarla Ó Lionáird, Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh, Dennis Cahill and Thomas Bartlett, the interpretation and performance of Irish traditional music is at the heart of their creative expression as musicians. Martin, Caoimhín and Dennis have been recognised for balancing traditional rigour with an energy that seems entirely new. Thomas has been identified with the independent rock scene for his work with artists as diverse as the National, Glen Hansard, and Antony and the Johnsons. Iarla has made many ground breaking recordings with the Afro Celt Sound System, his distinctive voice venturing far beyond the boundaries of any one genre. The film not only depicts the Gloaming working together in Grouse Lodge studios in County Westmeath, Ireland, but also reveals the profound connection between them as players and as players with their audience.

Moment To Moment is a documentary film about the band The Gloaming directed by Philip King and Nuala O'Connor, produced by South Wind Blows. The film is funded by The Arts Council of Ireland.
