River a short film by Dervla Baker and Neil Quigley
River is a short film by Dervla Baker and Neil Quigley, inspired by the diverse history of the Glen River Valley—a glacial landscape that has served as a mill, quarry, residential area, and is currently designated as a public park. The film follows the river’s path as it winds through the remnants of these environments, from stone-lined channels to marshy floodplains and man-made concrete weirs and culverts. Using contemporary visual and audio techniques, River invites the audience to reflect on what the river can reveal to us about its surroundings, exploring themes of sustainability, transformation, and who benefits from these shifts. The film serves as a sensory exploration of the river’s enduring narrative.
Elinor rivers will deliver a performance presentation, Ordinary Gifts , about our interactions with water, and its influence on us, informed by an excursion with Botanist/herbalist, Jo Goodyear; a May dance with the pucaí led by folklorist Jenny Butler; some entanglements with the Dripsey Monsters - come and hear all about it and perhaps be in for some surprises.
