Prince Edward Island International Film Festival 2008

A cinematic, non-fiction ghost story. An evocative personal tale featuring the last generation of Gaelic storytellers on Scotland’s Isle of Skye.

“Imagine a film where time crosses over. Imagine a film populated by wise old taletellers who can call the dead to life. Imagine Bergman meeting Beckett on some ghostly, fog-bound track on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. Imagine a film which has everything to do with the sudden, quick passages of our lives.” - Peter Wintonick, Executive Producer

“Step into the rugged vermillion landscapes of Scotland’s remote Isle of Skye and meet Donald Angus MacLean, one of the last of a generation raised with the Gaelic oral tradition rather than electricity and television. “Don Angie” is an old charmer, a man of the church who has listened with an open and curious mind to a lot of “terribly strange stories” in his long life. The camera roves with him through gorgeously shot craggy hillsides to the sites of these spine-tingling stories of spectres, ghost cars, death foretold and the “second sight.” This softly painted portrait of a vanishing era spins an irresistible tale that becomes a moving study of life and mortality.” - Gisèle Gordon, Hot Docs Programmer
