An award-winning film that explores the coastline from North Donegal to Sligo through its coastal communities is set to be screened at the Big Blue Film Festival in Oregon this month.
‘Fair Seas: The Atlantic Northwest’ is one of 27 films chosen by the jury as a finalist for the ocean-themed event.
The 14-minute film features the views, stories and insights of local communities along the Donegal and Sligo coast, who depend on the sea to make a living.
It also explores how marine protected areas might offer a new way to conserve the marine life that has supported these communities for generations.
The Fair Seas film will be screened during the opening session at Hatfield Marine Science Centre on Saturday, January 27th.
