Synopsis:

***ATTENTION***English & Irish audio with some English subtitles***Eoghan is a sound recordist who is returning to Ireland for the first time in 15 years, for a job capturing noises in areas free from man-made sound. His quest takes him to remote terrain, away from towns and villages. Throughout his journey, he is drawn into a series of encounters and conversations which gradually divert his attention towards a more intangible silence, bound up with the sounds of the life he had left behind. Influenced by elements of folklore and archive, SILENCE unfolds with a quiet intensity, where poetic images reveal an absorbing meditation on themes relating to sound and silence, history, memory and exile.

Eoghan is a sound recordist who is returning to Ireland for the first time in 15 years. His reason for returning is a job offer: to find and record places free from man-made sound. His quest takes him away from towns and villages into remote terrain. Throughout his journey, he is drawn into a series of encounters and conversations which gradually divert his attention towards a more intangible silence, one that is bound up with the sounds of the life he had left behind. Influenced by elements of folklore and archive, Silence unfolds with a quiet intensity, where poetic images reveal an absorbing meditation on themes relating to sound and silence, history, memory and exile.

Pat Collins writes and directs this Irish docudrama following a man's quest to capture silence on audio. Eoghan MacGiolla Bhríde stars as Eoghan, a professional sound recordist returning to Ireland after a 15-year absence. For his latest job he has been given a brief to find and record places free from man-made sound. His quest takes him deep into the Irish countryside, where he becomes drawn into a series of encounters and conversations that gradually turn his attention towards the less tangible sounds of his childhood memories and heritage.
