Extra info
Ireland, land of rolling hills, green meadows, flocks of sheep, and… animation! Irish animation studios are among the leading ones in Europe. Filem’On is putting them in the spotlight this year, including during the Ciné-concert (or as the Irish say in their native Gaelic language: Ceolchoirm Scannáin). We swap the violins and tin whistles for an enchanting electro-acoustic soundscape, performed live by musicians, who provide a series of animated films with a new, fitting soundtrack.
