IFTA nominated documentary The Silver Branch set for special screening in Thurles

IFTA nominated documentary The Silver Branch will receive it's Tipperary screen debut at The Source Arts Centre, Thurles next Wednesday, January 23 at 8pm.

This beautifully shot film depicts the life and insights of the inimitable philosopher, poet, and fifth-generation farmer, Patrick McCormack, owner of Fr Ted’s House in the austere Burren.

Through Patrick’s eyes and pastoral verse, this beautifully shot film immerses us in the exquisite textures of the natural world, bringing us a rare glimpse of a disappearing way of life with all its richness and roguery, and leading to a deep connection with the Earth and our ancestral wild spirit.

Excited to announce our award winning Feature documentary The Silver Branch will tour Ireland starting with the Town Hall Theatre Galway on Oct 3rd then a week at the Irish Film Institute from Oct. 5th, other venues see https://t.co/h0XRxSDGKx #thesilverbranch #townhalltheatre pic.twitter.com/8xktJiXsqB
