- Synopsis:
After 100 years of independence, a bold new wave of young Irish artists redefine folk music and reflect over the impact of their colonial history. Celtic Utopia follows a resurgent wave of alternative folk and traditional musicians who are making music 'to scare priests and politicians.' As they produce melancholic new sounds, they are redefining and problematising the form and reshaping the culture in their own image. The bold, outspoken and humorous young musicians pass the narrative to each other as the film progresses, just as they would pass the melody to each other in a traditional music session. Through their music they tell the story of 100 years of history of a county that went through massive social, political and economic changes. Some of the Irish musicians featured in 'Celtic Utopia' include The Mary Wallopers, The Deadlians, Poor Creature, Negro Impacto, and Lankum. - Actors:
