The Premiere of ‘Field of Gold’
at Monreagh, Thursday, 20 November, 7pm
A new film release by Linton Film Production.
Field of Gold follows a group of farming enthusiasts from the Glenmaquin area of Donegal who sow and harvest a field of corn as it would have been worked in the 1950s.
Using machinery and skills from that era, the whole venture becomes a community event with the collecting of seaweed as fertlizer; ploughing and preparing the ground; sowing, reaping and cutting the corn; and threshing.
Filmed on the farm of Clarke and Ruth Gardiner, the production recaptures a period of time when work was very different from today.
