Penal Crosses:
This short film describes what is a true Penal Cross . It also asks what their function was and the probable interpretation of the relief carved on them. The art of making these is still being practised today (1962).
Aer Lingus :
This film tells of the fleet of planes being named after great Irish missionaries and how the Company’s planes carry us to our various destinations. The ceremony of blessing the planes annually is also depicted.
Manners in Church:
Filmed in a not-too-anonymous church, this piece provides a brilliant commentary (with actors & actresses) on a tiny facet of everyday life.
