Bordering Realities – Ulster

May 25, 2024 | By Luke Leslie,

Bordering Realities is a new immersive 20-minute audio-visual film intended to showcase the border region of Ulster. Our film takes viewers on a evocative coast to coast journey from County Louth through Armagh, Monaghan, Cavan, Fermanagh, Tyrone ending in Donegal.

The film will be on display in the recently inaugurated Peace Campus in Monaghan Town. The new building will provide a cultural and heritage centre, youth facility and shared community space for people in this border region.

The Monaghan Peace Campus received significant funding from the EU’s Peace IV programme, which is a cross-border initiative to support peace and reconciliation in Northern Ireland and the border counties of Ireland.

National Library of Ireland

April 29, 2022 | By Luke Leslie,

Produced for the National Library of Ireland. Our film celebrates the NLI’s beautiful architecture and exquisite interiors; the NLI has been sharing Ireland’s stories since 1877.

The history, heritage and richness of the institution lives on through the building and the treasures adorning the shelves.

Intended to capture the life and meaning that exists throughout the space. Building a sense of anticipation, exploration, contemplation, and the feeling that as the memory keeper of Ireland, the Library is always there for tourists, visitors, scholars and staff. It belongs to everyone, past and present.

We trace the footsteps of all the great writers and figures who have found (and continue to find) sanctuary and inspiration in the Library.

Home : Carrickmacross Workhouse

August 23, 2021 | By Luke Leslie,

A deeply moving ‘imagining’ of a family’s experience in the Carrickmacross Workhouse during the Famine years

The Carrickmacross Workhouse was one of 130 Workhouses built throughout Ireland between 1841 and 1843 to house the poor, hence the Irish name of Teach na mBocht – The Poorhouse.

The poor had to apply for admission to the Workhouse and successful applicants had to surrender any land before entering as ‘inmates’.

Once admitted, they were subjected to a strict regime: families were segregated and forbidden from seeing each other without permission; their diet was meagre and unvarying; difficult, and often pointless, work had to be undertaken; there was little heat and no comfort.

These deliberately harsh conditions meant that Workhouses quickly became known as the Poor Man’s Jail, and the poor only applied for admission as their last resort.

Home is a deeply moving ‘imagining’ of a family’s experience in the Carrickmacross Workhouse during the Famine years. It describes their ‘fall’ as a result of successive crop failures due to potato blight, leading them inexorably to the Workhouse, and their lives within these walls.

The story also highlights the Earl Grey Scheme under which 4,114 girls between the ages of 14 and 18 were emigrated from Irish Workhouses to Australia as wives and servants of the settlers and convicts there.

This number included 38 girls from Carrickmacross Workhouse.
