Na Trí Céilithe

Blending memory and movement, Na Trí Céilithe revisits the vibrant Gaelic concerts held by Melbourne’s Irish diaspora in the early twentieth century – gatherings where music and dance became vital expressions of cultural identity. With no archival footage to draw on, the film responds with striking originality, reinterpreting céilí dances through a contemporary lens. Heritage and modernity converge in this lyrical exploration of reimagined Irishness.
