Background
Éire Eile is a documentary series presented by Cóilí Collins, aka Shampain, which delves into Irish subcultures - everything from electronic music and mediaeval sword fighting, to queer punk and wheelchair basketball. Over 8 episodes, Shampain explores a range of communities and the people, clubs and organisations which help build and maintain them. As our work and social lives become increasingly remote, Éire Eile is about what happens when people get together to create, compete, express themselves and indulge their passions. Diving head first into Ireland’s cultural undercurrents, Shampain leads us in a joyous celebration of community, diversity and inclusivity.
Process
In 2022, we successfully secured a commission with TG4 to produce a bold 8 part short form series on Irish subcultures, presented by DJ Shampain, aimed at young people aged 18-35 to stream on their own online Player and Youtube.
Each episode sees Cóilí Collins, aka Shampain, exploring and examining a unique subculture and scene enjoyed by Ireland's youth - everything from Hip-Hop in Limerick and Queer Punk in Belfast to wheelchair basketball in Cork and Historical European Martial Arts in Galway.
Results
Éire Eile is a positive representation of various subcultures in Ireland, revealing the strength and empathy that exists within these communities.
Éire Eile has been nominated for an award at this years Celtic Media Festival.
