The Irish Influence - Ballymenone: the Story of all Ireland with Henry Glassie
Friday, April 16, 2021 4:30pm to 5:30pm
About this Event
Early in the Troubles, Henry Glassie came into a community of active story-tellers in County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland. There he discovered a world about to be lost. Over the course of ten years’ research Glassie recorded the life and art, the folklore, history, and common work, but particularly the stories of that tiny community -- and of an Ireland about to disappear.
A film celebrating Glassie’s contribution to Irish and world anthropology, directed by Pat Collins and titled Henry Glassie: Field Work, had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2019. Please note start times: 4:30 pm EST, 9:30 pm, Ireland
