Aerial Ireland

Ornithologist Seán Ronayne from Cobh, Co. Cork is on a mission to record the sound of every bird species in Ireland – that’s nearly 200 birds. Often joined by his partner Alba, he travels to some of the country’s most beautiful and remote locations to capture its most elusive species and soundscapes: the busy seabird colony of Skellig Michael; a native woodland free from road noise in the Burren; the corncrake stronghold of Tory Island; a solitary nest in the Donegal uplands. Along the way we get to know Seán, whose hypersensitivity to sound has proven both a struggle and a strength. At once inspiring and cautionary, Seán’s journey illustrates the beauty and importance of sound, and what listening can tell us about the state of our natural world.

A timeless landscape steeped in history that is little changed today, but was surely made to be filmed!

In this high-speed travel documentary, Garrett Shaw sets out on an ambitious, almost impossible mission—to visit every single European Union country in just 80 hours. With relentless pacing, nonstop flights, and barely any sleep, he races against time, pushing the limits of endurance and logistics. From historic capitals to remote border crossings, this journey is as much about human perseverance as it is about geography. Is it a world record? Is it pure madness? Maybe both. One thing’s for sure—it’s something different.
