7.30f – Taisbeanadh Film
Air a leantainn le seisean Cheistean is Fhreagairtean le Rob MacNeacail agus an stiùiriche Jack Archer
Thig còmhla rinn airson taisbeanadh sònraichte de Sailm nan Daoine, am prògram aithriseach cliùiteach ùr le Jack Archer a tha a’ rannsachadh dualchas beairteach seinn shalm Gàidhlig.
Tha am film a’ leantainn an neach-ciùil Rob MacNeacail air turas bho Chrìochan na h-Alba gu Innse Gall agus Èirinn, a’ lorg cheanglaichean eadar cànan, dearbh-aithne, coimhearsnachd agus dualchas cultarach tro cheòl agus òrain.
Tòisichidh an oidhche le bùth-obrach seinn shalm Gàidhlig air a stiùireadh le Rob MacNeacail, a’ toirt cothrom sònraichte do luchd-frithealaidh eòlas fhaighinn air an dualchas seinn coimhearsnachd chumhachdach seo mus tèid am film a shealltainn.
Às dèidh an taisbeanaidh, bidh Rob agus an stiùiriche Jack Archer a’ gabhail pàirt ann an seisean Cheistean is Fhreagairtean mun fhilm agus mu chudromachd leantainneach seinn shalm Gàidhlig san latha an-diugh.
Tha an tachartas seo a’ comharrachadh a’ chiad cho-obrachadh eadar Ceòl is Craic, Am Pioramaid agus GMAC Film, a’ cruthachadh dachaigh ùr do thaisbeanaidhean film agus tachartasan còmhraidh Gàidhlig ann an Glaschu.
Saor an-asgaidh.
“Le bhith a’ fighe òrain, fuaimean, faclan agus ìomhaighean ri chèile, tha Psalms a’ toirt fìor fhaireachdainn don luchd-amhairc air a’ chultar san fharsaingeachd.” – The Hollywood Reporter
“Prògram aithriseach air leth inntinneach, pearsanta agus poilitigeach aig an aon àm, brosnachail agus a’ toirt ort smaoineachadh.” – The Herald
Mòran taing do Bòrd na Gàidhlig
