| Production Title: Pilgrims of the Reek Company: Studio Tales Line Manager: Michael Holly (University of Sussex) Programme Length: Under 30 minutes Genre: Documentary Observational Documentary Sector: Short Film Description :
Croagh Patrick has been a site of pilgrimage for over 1,500 years; on the last Sunday in July (30th July 2023 this year), up to 30,000 Catholic pilgrims climb the 764-metre-tall mountain, with many walking barefoot as an act of penance. Catholics climb ‘the Reek’ as it is believed that St. Patrick once summited the mountain, undertaking a 40-day fast on its peak before ‘throwing a bell down the mountainside’ to banish the snakes from Ireland, making the country habitable.
Inspired by the films of Gianfranco Rosi, as well as Anna Zamecka, ‘Pilgrims of the Reek’ will explore the possibilities of poetic and observational filmmaking in its attempts to build a thorough portrait of people and place. Having conducted a research trip to Westport, Co.Mayo in March of this year, the film has benefitted from the lived experiences of Westport locals, for whom the Reek has been of significant interest. Thanks go to both Harry Hughes and Oliver Whyte for the time they have thus far given to the project.
Official Selection at the 27th Religion Today Film Festival in Trento, Italy. |
