About
The case became known internationally as the last witch burning in Ireland. She was buried at night, without mourners. Bridget is the first film by Anne Williamson, who grew up two townlands from where it happened, hearing the story at her grandfather's fireside. it sets a present-day framing in colour against a black-and-white retelling of Bridget's final days, shot by cinematographer Louis Buggy of Kilkenny's Diceman Films. It carries an original ballad, The Maid of Old Clooneen, written and sung by Chris Kavanagh. The screening is followed by a Q&A with Anne Williamson.
