Details
After 100 years of independence, a bold new wave of young Irish artists redefine folk music and reflect on the impact of their colonial history.
The Irish folk music renaissance sees artists coming from punk, hip-hop and beyond, rediscovering an ancient tradition and taking it in unexpected directions.
In Celtic Utopia (Útóipe Cheilteach), artists including The Mary Wallopers, The Deadlians, Poor Creature, Negro Impacto and Lankum take us on a ballad tour around the island, telling stories and singing songs to try to understand their past and to heal their colonial wounds. Archive footage ties the present moment to Ireland’s troubled past and creates a rich portrait of an island coming to terms with a century of independence.
