Now Press Play presents From a Forest to a Fiddle

This mesmerizing-film captures master luthier Jim McKillop as he breathes life into wood, creating a fiddle from raw timber in his rural workshop for the very last time.
The process was filmed by Filmmaker Patrick Conway over six months, revealing the alchemy behind each violin.

The film features a soundtrack by Zoë Conway, performed by Zoë on fiddle and John McIntyre on guitar. It 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.

A magical and uplifting film of story, song and craftsmanship.

Now Press Play is supported with funding from Film Hub NI
