Salt film premiere - sligo.
Sea Pea Films, in collaboration with Cystic Fibrosis Ireland is thrilled to announce the premiere of the award-winning film Salt.
The event will take place on February 8, 2025, at The Model in Sligo. The evening will commence with a drinks reception at 7:30 PM, followed by the film screening and a Q&A session with renowned contemporary artist, Alice Maher.
Directed by Alice Ward, the short film is an autobiographical exploration of the role that salt and the ocean has played in her life as a filmmaker, surfer and person with Cystic Fibrosis
Sodium chloride is vital for all life. It is the primary salt in seawater and an essential component within our bodies. From her mother noticing her skin was unusually salty at birth which led to a diagnosis of Cystic Fibrosis to Alice becoming the first woman in Ireland to start shooting in the water to capture surfing from a female perspective. “SALT” is an artful portrayal of the primal relationship with salt that has profoundly influenced Alice in her personal and professional life.
Salt was the 2024 winner of the Finisterre x LSFF “Women of the Sea Film Fund.” The pitch was selected from a shortlist of 50 films from around the globe. The film has already garnered attention winning ‘Best International Short’ at the London Surf Film Festival and “Best Film” the Irish Surf Film Festival in November 2024.
