‘Eithne - Idir Dhá Shaol’ Documentary to Screen at IFI & TG4
09 Dec 2016 : Laura Brennan
Eithne's Ní Uallacháin's story 'Idir Dhá Shaol
Eithne's Ní Uallacháin's story 'Idir Dhá Shaol’ will premiere on the 15th of December at 11:30 in the IFI, Templebar, Dublin and will be shown on TG4 on the 20th of December at 21:30. The documentary will also be repeated at 19:45 on the 28th December on TG4.

‘Eithne – Idir Dhá Shaol’ is told from the intimate perspective of Eithne’s family, friends and fellow musicians. The film was directed and produced by her son Feilimí O’Connor.

A ‘beautiful voice which comes to us from the other side of eternity’ is the description given about this moving film about the life of singer Eithne Ní Uallacháin.

As all of us are caught up in this world of conflicting emotions this was especially true of Eithne, who expressed her innermost thoughts in the songs of her native Oriel and songs she wrote herself.

With husband Gerry O'Connor in the highly successful ‘Lá Lugh’, she embraced the ancient and the modern, she strode the worlds of Irish and English and she could sing with heartrending beauty or play the flute with passion and imagination.

Eithne was full of the vim and vitality of life but at the same time was filled with darkness only she understood. She was the product of a uniquely Irish cultural heritage but her voice could reach something deep inside all of mankind.

Featuring: Gerry O’Connor, Dónal O’Connor, Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh, Jim Corr, Mario N’Goma, Gilles le Bigot, Padráigín Ní Uallacháin, Cathal Ó Searcaigh and performance artist Gráinne Smith.

Stirling Film & Television Productions produced ‘Eithne – Idir Dhá Shaol’ for TG4 with funding from Northern Ireland’s Screen ‘Irish Language Broadcast Fund (ILBF)’ in association with BEES NEES and MG ALBA.
