On Thursday the 6th of November 2014 in the Abbey Centre, Ballyshannon,
visitors to the Allingham Festival will have an opportunity to experience the
unique cinematic screening of moving image and animation projects by the final
year design students from the School of Creative Arts, University Of Ulster,
Magee, Derry and LYIT Letterkenny. The shorts are moving image responses to
William Allingham's poetry, displaying their interpretation of Allingham's written
word, using their chosen discipline, e.g. illustration/graphic design/3D/moving
image/etc.!
So this is our brief.
Honestly my first thoughts were a little pessimistic as I’m not one for poetry,
I don’t read it much and find it hard to understand the meaning sometimes. But
when I looked into William Allingham’s poetry I found some quite nice ones.
The ones that stood out
were “down on the shore”, “a day dreams reflection” and “after sunset”. I think
these stood out to me as they’re all related to the environment and outdoors. I
love photography and capturing natural scenes. The way he describes
the world makes you think about things you would never have noticed before.
