In May 2022, Féile took six young men and two youth leaders from Creggan over to Bedford, England, to help build Sanctuary with the artist David Best. Sanctuary is an unforgettable temporary structure and space of healing, built to commemorate the loss during the Covid-19 pandemic. Féile’s videographer Ruairi Campbell created a beautiful film that shows the lasting impact of the participants experience.

To celebrate 75 years since the building of the first houses in Creggan, Féile worked with partner groups, residents and young people to produce a new stage production “A Green Hill Far Away”. This film follows the process of making this play. Some of the main cast members were interviewed and the entire process of making the play was documented by a fly on the wall style documentarian filmmaker.
