    I just got my first color home movie put on dvd and now put on youtube.
    I bought this original 16mm color home movie off ebay last year.
    The film was shot in the west of Ireland in 1953,
    My dad was born in 1953 in the west of Ireland and I thought it was fantastic to see Ireland and galway like it was when my dad was a child.

    so enjoy the film guys.
    and also the cool irish music i got for it.

    best wishes.

    What has this got to do with Galway? Nonetheless Its a beautiful piece of film.

    To put a massive lump of text all over it advertising some dam website is just a sin!!! Then when you thought it could not get any worse in terms of sheer taste, the massive text gets animated. I stopped watching at that.

    Not Galway County. Moving to History.

    Sorry OP but the dreadful music just caps off an infinitely forgettable experience.

    Lovely little film. I could almost smell the gorse. I'm not familiar with Galway to know whether it was Galway or not. Enjoyed seeing your film anyway. Thanks for sharing.

    It's not Galway, apart from the house in Macroom it is Kerry and I would suggest late 1950's, not 1953. The initial part of the opening scene leaving the dock looks like its CGI. The pier at 2.40 is at the Parknasilla Great Southern Hotel.
    It's not history either.

    I probably would agree with the CGI comment, the lighting in it looks a bit odd all right.
