Commissioned by TG4 and the Arts Council of Ireland in association with Galway Film Centre, “Splanc! 2016” is a special edition of the Irish-language documentary scheme in which film artists provide their creative responses to the legacy of 1916 in the arts in Ireland.

Inspired by Seán Ó Ríordáin’s celebrated Irish poem and working with a schoolgirl choir and inter-generational cast of female performers, this film offers a visually arresting vision of Women’s Christmas Night.
