Nephin Subs is a short film written by artist, performer and musician Fionnuala Kennedy. Mixing personal recollections and fantasy, the film is a surreal account of a journey to the West of Ireland, where the Nephin Beg mountain looms over a three-day wake and funeral. In the lowlands, a cluster of mysterious blowholes are discovered. Their irruptive presence sparks a savage curiosity. In the attempt to find out why they have appeared, the local kinfolk are bolted into a desirous fervour. Thus the age of longing is born. We are led by the eye through many a collective memory and reverie, tracking the internal journey of an estranged world.
