BOA ISLAND IMMERSIVE

Set in Ireland’s Lakelands, Boa Island Immersive is a short interactive film that invites audiences to become the main character, Connla Crowe, and experience the island’s supernatural mystery and environmental threat using a gaming controller.

Featuring rare BBC archive footage of poet Seamus Heaney visiting Boa Island in 1972,  ancient mythology meets cultural memory and our responsibility to the natural world.

Created by Niamh and Brian Gormley of Lir Pictures and immersive artist Leandros Ntolas of Afternature Productions, the film expands the world of Boa Island, a television series currently in development.

The project is supported by the Immersive Arts programme, in collaboration with the Nerve Centre.
