Celebrate the Autumn Equinox: An Evening of Film and Music at Ulster Folk Museum
Join us at Ulster Folk Museum on Saturday, 21st September, to celebrate the Autumn Equinox with a unique evening event. Experience a one-off screening of a specially commissioned archive film in our authentic 1900s Picture House, accompanied by a live score from the acclaimed Irish composer Róis.
This event, embodying the theme of ‘OpportUNiTY’, offers a special opportunity to reflect on the richness of the Autumn Equinox—a time that marks the transition from summer to autumn and celebrates the balance of light and dark. The film will feature astrological visuals, standing stones, and scenes of nature’s abundance and past harvests, interwoven to highlight the significance of this special time of year.
The Autumn Equinox is a moment steeped in ancient rituals, traditions, and folklore, from Neolithic alignments to the pagan festival of Mabon. By attending this event, you will engage with these rich traditions and explore new opportunities for understanding and appreciating our cultural heritage.
Róis, renowned for her innovative blend of folk, Sean-nós, electronic soundscapes, and jazz, will bring her unique touch to the evening, creating a captivating fusion of music and visual storytelling.
