DANCE DOCUMENTARY: LILTING HOME by Julia Bannister

FREE | Online pre-recorded

Available to watch from Oct. 22 to Nov. 22

A thoughtful 9-minute film that pushes the boundaries of postcard film making with a flowing stream of music, dance and storytelling. It captures two dancers’ daydreams about a dance residency and their Irish heritage.

For hundreds of years, Irish culture has considered storytelling and dancer-musician dialogue to be an important conversation. Yet, it has become all but a quiet murmur for descendants of emigrant families from Northern Ireland (NIR) in New Brunswick Canada. This is the story of many Northern Irish emigrant families – until they meet one another and the conversations start to flow again.
