About the Film:
Man Of Aran (1934) is a documentary film by Robert J. Flaherty on life on the Aran Islands off the western coast of Ireland. It portrays characters who live in premodern conditions and their hardships, documenting their daily routines such as fishing off high cliffs, farming potatoes where there is little soil, and hunting for huge basking sharks to win their liver oil for lamps.
The 2007 Crawley Fleadh is organised by the Celtic and Irish Cultural Society with support funding from the Dion Fund.
