    Hi

    Members may be interested in following sub-titled, bi-lingual film.
    It can be embedded on any website.

    Spiorad na Samhna — Spirit of Samhain

    https://vimeo.com/101398600

    Film traces origins of Ireland’s biggest Halloween Carnival in Derry back
    to troubled years of 1980s.

    It also traces origins of Halloween itself to the Celtic festival of
    Samhain. Dr. Jenny Butler from the Folklore Department of University
    College, Cork narrates this.

    Film uses footage from spectacular 2013 Inferno show, produced by LUXe,
    based in Donegal.
