A workshop programme for Gaelic-speaking first-time animators, free to attend, funded by Bòrd na Gàidhlig. Facilitated by Choirstaidh Iona.
About this Event

“Dè thuirt sibh?” is a brand new, experimental Gàidhlig and Irish Filmmaking project funded by the Bòrd na Gàidhlig Colmcille fund.

Join us until Spring 2026 for a ten-workshop programme anns a' Ghàidhlig, where we'll produce an animated short film called “Dè thuirt sibh?”, on the theme of miscommunication.


This project is strictly for first-time animators, no artistic background is necessary, but conversational-level Scottish Gaelic is a must.

By April, we’ll have produced one single <5 minute long animated short, made collectively by our attendees. A separate series of workshops will be running in tandem to these classes to produce a score for our film, again by non-professional music producers. Please note that these are adult workshops, and are not for children. attendees must be 18+.
