This three part videocast offers a taste of the mighty 'Year of Australia' at the Festival InterCeltique staged in Lorient, Brittany, France, in July/August 2006. Taken over the first three days (the festival runs for ten days and ten very late nights and attracts around 700,000 participants!) the film was shot on a Sony hand-held camera (no bigger than a large hamburger!) by my friend Rebel Penfold-Russell. It was edited on Apple by Adam Bayliss. It is an amateur production but even so - it is amazing what one can achieve on video these days.
