Experience the enchantment of craftsmanship and music with From a Forest to a Fiddle. This mesmerizing art-film which recently screened at the National Concert Hall captures Jim McKillop as he breathes life into wood, creating a fiddle in his rural workshop for the last time. The process was filmed by Filmmaker Patrick Conway over six months, revealing the alchemy behind each violin.

The film features a soundtrack of Zoë Conway’s own score, performed by Zoë on fiddle and John McIntyre on guitar and was inspired by the ancient ogham Irish alphabet, where each letter represents a native Irish tree, as well as a new Irish translation of a poem by renowned Dubliners fiddler, John Sheahan.
