The Northwest Film Challene was part of Rathmullan Film Festival 23.
As a result of an open invitation, 12 new and emerging filmmakers were challenged to create a three-minute film using archival footage. Póca Productions of Donegal worked with the participants over the course of a number of online workshops to produce these amazing films, all of which were screened at the Rathmullan Film Festival.
Of her film, 'A Day Out in Donegal'm Filmmaker Nicole Gallgher writes:
"'A Day Out In Donegal' is about comparing a day out in Donegal in the old days to a day out in more modern nowadays times. It shows how Donegal is just as beautiful then as it is now.
My filming was done down at Dunree fort because it has some great scenic views for sightseeing. I have also used an extract from a William Alligham Poem called 'Aeolian Harp'. The archival clips inspired me to make my film because as soon as I watched the archival clip of James and Dorothy I got the idea of doing a film about sightseeing.
Hope you enjoy my film and enjoy watching it. Thank you."
