Yeats' inspired Sligo short film

In 1888 the young William Butler Yeats wrote 'The Lake Isle of Innisfree', a yearning incantation of his youth spent in County Sligo near the Atlantic coast in the northwest of Ireland.

During two fine summer days in 2010, people from all over Ireland (including members of the Yeatsian Legacy Peace III Programme and a group of young performing arts students) were invited by Director Lisa Vandegrift Davala, to Carrane Hill Bog, Culleenamore Strand at Knocknarea and Parke's Castle on Lough Gill overlooking Innisfree; to inscribe this 'Land of Heart's Desire' with the line and mark of his poetic light. 

This wonderful short film set in Sligo has been chosen for official selection at the New Hope International Film Festival in Pennsylvania from July 8–17 2011
