A tribute to the late Sinéad O Connor , one of Ireland's best loved and most iconic singer songwriters.The move celebrates her connections with Irish Poet William Butler Yeats and their common interest in their Irish culture , heritage and all things Celtic

Submitter Statement

This was an immense opportunity to celebrate the late great Sinéad and weave her appreciation of Yeats into a short story .I have always admired both artist's ability to capture the human feelings of love and loss in their media of poetry and song.I hope this short movie will reconnect you to the work of both creatives whether you are a lover of poetry or an admirer of Sinéad 's work

Emer , who hails from Kerry has lived in Donegal for over 30 years – she has won numerous photographic awards and has had her work published in all national newspapers as well as National Geographic.Her images have featured on TV 3 and RTE 1 and she is a regular contributor to the Irish Times Wildlife columns.She was interviewed for the Derek Mooney show and was nominated to represent Donegal County Council as a judge on National Geographic ‘s Travel Photographer of the year in March 2019.Emer has had 7 individual exhibitions with subjects ranging from landscapes to flora and fauna of Donegal as well as travel photography in Cuba. For 7 of the last 10 years Emer produced an annual fundraising calander for Northwest Hospice on a pro bono basis. The theme of her most recent exhibition in Dublin was “In the Waters & the Wild “ (link attached ) and celebrated Ireland’s native habitats. The diverse images were captured in locations ranging from Donegal to Dublin and Newbridge to West Cork and appealed to all nature lovers. At the launch of the exhibition – in aid of the Capuchin Day Centre - the guest of honour wildlife broadcaster Dr. Eanna Ni Lamhna described Emer’s images as” stunning and superb”. In appraising her work Professor Tony Bates has said “When I look at these pictures I have a sense of becoming drawn into a world that is alive and aware of me. I can feel that it is not so much that I am looking at something as much as I am listening to Nature speaking , trying to get through to me , willing me to open my eyes. Emer coaxes us to let the beauty of the moments she has captured actually ENTER and OPEN us. There is something radical in her imagery ; its subtle, powerful and it “ shocks us “ into waking up. “
