Short Irish Film For Schools - Biddy Early

biddy early film poster 1

I am an Irish storyteller. Born and raised in County Clare, I have spent my life researching and sharing information about Irish folklore, history and culture. 

Recently, I made a short film about Biddy Early, the last woman in Ireland to be accused of witchcraft. Daniel O'Connell went to her prior to running for election, and her legacy influenced WB Yeats and Lady Gregory.

The film is available online on Patreon (€9.95): https://www.patreon.com/balorotherworld/shop

Or I can screen it in schools and deliver storytelling to dive deeper into Ireland's herbalist traditions.

The content is developed to be in line with the Department of Education’s curriculum. Mindfulness and wellness are key components of the session. Every part of the storytelling is aimed at engaging the pupils with Irish culture.

Trailer for the film is available on all of my social media accounts:

I will continue making short films about Irish culture and history so if there are other areas of interest for your school please let me know.

Warm regards,
