Minceir Director Teresa Lavina
b"Minc\\xe9ir (Dir. Teresa Lavina, 2023, 54min) \\u2018Minc\\xe9ir' is a very important and unique piece conveyed in the shape of a documentary that brings the audience on a journey across the Irish Traveller\\u2019s tradition their past traditions, present transitions and future views. The challenge of this documentary was to balance an accurate portrayal of Traveller life seen through the eyes of travellers and the necessary story elements needed to produce a great documentary and keep an audience engaged throughout. \\u2018Minc\\xe9ir\\u2019 contributors tell intimate secrets and stories about the Traveller traditions that have never been told before. The project will be an archive of information for future generations to access and this is a very important point for the Travellers mental health. The documentary is driven by progressive, modern Traveller women and men that are a precedent for their community. It highlights how strong women are and have fought to follow their passions and become independent."
