Hidden
Treasures is a major Irish documentary series that offers
an extraordinary insight into Irish culture and tradition.
Based on an unseen archive film collection from the National
Museum of Ireland and intertwined with vibrant contemporary
material, 'Hidden Treasures' takes us back to the grass roots,
the everyday and successfully tells for the first time, the
fascinating story of Irish traditional folk life.
This is the series that caught the imagination of the Irish
people, spanning the entire island; it is a saga of self sufficiency
played-out against wild landscapes and difficult terrain.
This is a story of courage, imagination and resourcefulness.
Our heroes and warriors are farmers and fishermen, tinsmiths,
thatcher's and boat builders, ordinary people and their families
pitched against the forces of nature, struggling to survive.
Sheer physical energy and vibrant community spirit win-out
as alternative currency in this otherwise money less society.
Simple things become treasures, straw granaries, bog deal
ropes, wicker traps, skin boats and wooden pumps. The documentary
is peppered throughout with rare glimpses of Wren Boys; Biddy
boys, Halloween Guisers and Straw Boys immersed in celebration
and festivity.
This highly acclaimed series offers a fascinating and intimate
view of traditional life, and is essential viewing for anyone
with an interest in Irish culture.

Quotes:
"Every so often a documentary series comes along that
captures the public's imagination transcending issues
of class and background, urban or rural, young or old.
It is rare indeed to hear wide-spread discussion of a
programme." - Pat Collins, Film West, Issue 33
"Directed by Anne O'Leary this marvellous 4-part series
documents the various crafts that flourished in Ireland
up until relatively recently. It is the archive footage
that is most memorable, some of which is actually awe-inspiring.
Hidden Treasures holds the footage up to us as a mirror
and we hardly recognise ourselves." - Film West - June
1998
"... as well as being an evocative remembrance
of times past, the series revels in the discovery that
much remains unchanged - well worth setting the VCR for."
- Kevin Barry, The Examiner - April 1998 |
