The Peatlands

The Peatlands is an immersive film which explores the wonders of the bog, its ecological treasures and extraordinary species.

The film describes our peatlands through the video of Charleen Hurtubise who is also the curator, the soundscapes of Lisa Dowling Scott, the photography of Tina Claffey, and the paintings of Kathrine Geoghegan. The film has been accompanied at various locations with the performances of Paola Catizone.
