As part of the Female Visions strand, the 66th Cork International Film Festival are excited to present this special screening in a series of films made by women: To the Western World.
To the Western World written, produced and directed by Margy Kinmonth, is a dramatised documentary which reconstructs a journey made by two Irishmen across famine stricken Connemara in 1905. John Millington Synge and Jack B. Yeats were sent by the Manchester Guardian to report on the “Congested Districts”, the barren, over-populated and most poverty-stricken parts of the West of Ireland. Narrated by John Huston.
