Major new documentary series chronicles Ireland's coastline through time Stunning film is narrated by Ciarn Hinds
11/09/2024
Narrated by the Oscar nominated actor Ciar n Hinds, the documentary series promises stunning cinematography, cutting edge graphics and gripping storytelling as this breath-taking odyssey uncovers previously unseen marvels of the Irish coast for the first time.
Inspired by the landmark publication The Coastal Atlas of Ireland, published by Cork University Press in 2020, the series will journey to the heart of Ireland's coast, revealing its fascinating origins, rich biodiversity and magnetic charm. Ireland's Coast starts Sunday 15th September at 6.30pm on RT One and RT Player.
Oscar nominated Ciar n Hinds who lends his voice to this epic three-part documentary series said: It was a great pleasure to be involved in a landmark series such as this, a visual feast and deep dive into the story of Ireland's Coast.
In collaboration with University College Cork and ART , Ireland's Coast is a thematic exploration of the Ireland's shore. Episode one Out of the Depths of Time' reveals the origin story of Ireland's coast, exploring the significance of sea level rise and fall in the story of our coast. The documentary explores Ireland's territorial waters and cold-water coral reefs hidden in the canyons and embarks on a dramatic journey with the Marine Institute of Ireland to the Porcupine Bank, to examine the role of weather buoys in the deep Atlantic.
The second episode Coastal Lives' is a voyage into the people of Ireland's ancient relationship with the waters that surround the island. It is a deep exploration of the dynamic connections that exist between the Island's population and the coastal environments over time.
The final episode Future Coasts' explores how climate change is impacting this environment, how technological advances and local communities are striving to protect the coast and how with some innovative and imaginative thinking we can create more sustainable conditions for this dynamic landscape into the future.
Head of RT Cork, Colm Crowley said: As RT continues to ramp up regional commissioning and production, this collaboration between RT Cork and University College Cork is the perfect example of how hugely ambitious series like Ireland's Coast' can be created and delivered for Irish audiences from RTE's growing production base in Cork. Special thanks to Moondance productions for bringing this hugely impactful series to life.
John FitzGerald, Executive Producer and Adjunct Professor, School of English, University College Cork commented: University College Cork is delighted to be collaborators on Ireland's Coast, based on the award-winning Atlas of the Irish Coast published by Cork University Press. Our commitment to bringing important research and knowledge into the public domain in books and films featuring UCC experts is all made possible by an enduring relationship with RT Cork, in collaboration with ARTE and talented film makers like Moondance.
Three-part series Ireland's Coast is produced by Moondance productions for RT in collaboration with UCC and ART .
