Haevejen (The Ox Road)
Dir: Jesper Heine Grand, 2025, Denmark, 1hr 30min, Language: Danish with English Subtitles, HIFF:12
The two men embark on an adventure from North Jutland down to Kliplev Church north of the old border of Southern Jutland. One was born royal, the other grew up at the bottom of society. The class differences are palpable when Prince Joachim is accompanied by the outspoken author and trailblazer Steffen Jacobsen. Along the scenic old road through Denmark, honest conversations about social inheritance, responsibility and the threads of destiny emerge. Tha dithis fhir a’ dol air turas dana bho Jutland a Tuath gu Eaglais Kliplev air seann chrìochan Jutland a Deas. Buinidh fear aca dhan Teaghlach Rìoghail agus cha robh mòran a-riamh aig am fear eile. The an eadar-dhealachadh nam beatha gu math follaiseach. An cois Prionnsa Joachim tha ùghdar a thèid gu math dana, an neach-tòiseachaidh Steffen Jacobsen. Air an seann slige tron Danmhairg, tha na còmhraidhean mu oighreachd shòisealta, uallach agus na rudan a tha an dàn.
The Last of the Hand Weavers
Dir: Simon Barr, Dir: Simon Barr, 2025, Ireland, 18 min
Eddie Doherty is a modest and humble man who, at the age of 84, still carries on the tradition of hand weaving the Donegal Tweed fabrics at his small shop in Ardara, Co. Donegal, Ireland. He tells his story of starting hand weaving in the 1950's, how the once booming trade declined due to modern industrialisation and now only a few hand weavers remain. ‘S duine sèimh is iriseal a th’ ann an Eddie Doherty. Aig aois 84, tha e fhathast a’ cumail air an tradisean a’ figheadh an clò mòr Dùn na nGall sa bhùth bheag an Andara, Co. Dùn na nGall, Èireann. Tha e ag innse a sgeulachd nuair a thòisich e breabadaireachd-làimhe sna 1950an, ciamar an gnìomhas aig aon àm beòthail air crìonadh ri linn gnìomhachas ùr agus a-nis, chan eil ach glè bheag de bheabadairean fhathast ann.
