i mbliana/this year

A collaboration between Mickey and Zoe Uí Fhaoláin Green

We spent a year from May 2023 to April 2024 meeting for a day a month to film in a different location on the Dingle Peninsula.

We travelled by foot, bicycle, bus, or hitch hiking, in order to reduce the damaging environmental effects of the project. This led to interesting perspectives on the spaces, and conversations that deepened this co-directed project.

The film follows a person trying to interact with the landscape, it is a 12 month exploration of the human’s place in, and as part of nature.

We edited as we went and as we finished each month we sent cuts to local musicians, all based on the Dingle Peninsula, who responded to the pieces musically.

We started in May, finished in April, and naturally screened it at Feile Na Bealtaine, a festival very close to our hearts.
