Féile Derry

Once more, the pupils of Nazareth House Primary School and Nursery Unit, Long Tower Primary School, Gaelscoil Éadain Mhóir, Fountain Primary School and Nursery Unit & St Eugene’s Primary School have been working very hard behind the scenes to put on a spectacular carol service this Christmas!

This event is free and open to the public, so come along at 1pm on Monday 18th December to the Guildhall for some beautiful singing!

In association with Bogside and Brandywell Health Forum!

A Streets Alive project funded by Urban Villages.

On Tuesday night, we were lucky enough to encounter the children from Holy Child Primary School and Nursery Unit taking part in the ‘Follow The Star’ event as they followed the Christmas star around the streets of Creggan using the light of their lanterns to guide the way. The children then all gathered at the crib at the front of the school and sang beautiful Christmas Carols as Mary lay baby Jesus in the manger. Well done to all involved.

The latest film from Féile videographer Ruairi Campbell, “Freedom & the Sesh: A Squarebear Joint” will finally receive its online debut tonight at 7pm on our YouTube channel, Féile Media!

The documentary is a close up look at acclaimed Derry artist Squarebear, detailing his process, influences and issues close to his heart.

ONLINE PREMIERE – Freedom & the Sesh: A Squarebear Joint

Thursday 30th November at 7pm

In 2023, Féile approached acclaimed artist Squarebear to take part in a documentary film with Féile’s Ruairi Campbell. The result was ‘Freedom & the Sesh: A Squarebear Joint”, a film that follows Squarebear’s day to day habits and the creative contributions that come from that.

Squarebear said of the documentary:

‘I found the practice challenging and a test of the intellectual validity of my work as opposed to it somewhat being a source of humour solely. In committing to this documentary I have found new questions I must answer myself because of it, as I transition from sesh culture into adulthood and also develop my voice as an artist beyond that. I hope the viewer can find a richer understanding of why I do what I do and getting an insight into the life I lead in my pursuit for art, while also giving an insight into my life as a Bogsider who to some degree has beaten those cultural labels.’

The film will be premiering online on ours & Square’s YouTube channel at 7pm on Thursday 30th November:
