I saw the whole documentary today at the Irish festival of Oulu (Finland) and liked it very much.

Thanks! Hope youre enjoying the festival. Say hi to Dearbhla and Vanessa - the filmakers...

Great stuff! - I saw an attempt at collaboration organised by Damon Albarn (Blur/Gorillaz) in Liverpool recently & it was useless - missing everything that this sort of collaboration seems to have in buckets - i.e. using musicians who are sociable & know their own musical culture well & having real warmth & heart, a respect for & connection with the culture you're performing with & learning from & a melding of acoustic instruments that complement each other.

Where can we see the film?

The film is not on general release yet, but has been screened in Dublin and Belfast. There is a screening possibly planned in the new Lighthouse cinema in Dublin soon... Thanks for the comment!
