Freumhan 🫶

Ceithir sgìrean, aon chànan gan ceangal.

Tha Freumhan, film a chaidh a dhèanamh le Luchd-cruthachaidh Susbaint Coimhearsnachd MG ALBA, a-nise ri fhaicinn air BBC iPlayer!

Le cànan mar snàithlein, fighidh am film seo sgeulachdan mu fhèin-aithne agus coimhearsnachd còmhla le bhith a toirt sùil air beatha nan Gàidheil an-diugh tro beachdan trì ghinealaich bho Taobh Tuath Leòdhais, Taobh Siar Leòdhais, Uibhist a Tuath agus Uibhist a Deas.

Freumhan, a short film made by MG ALBA’s own Community Content Creators is available to watch now on BBC iPlayer. With a language that connects them all, this film weaves the tales of identity and communities together as it explores the lives of Gaels today through the eyes of 3 generations from North Lewis, West Lewis, North and South Uist.

Tha sinn air ar dòigh gu bheil ceathrar luchd-trèanaidh ùra air tòiseachadh san sgioba ann an Steòrnabhagh. Fàilte air Calum, Donna, Seamus agus Lena!

Gheibh an luchd-obrach ùr eòlas practaigeach agus trèanadh ann an grunn roinnean, a’ leasachadh sgilean sònraichte ann an tasglannan mheadhanan didseatach, clàradh-ama agus co-òrdanachadh mheadhanan, ionmhas agus teicneòlas craolaidh agus IT. A bharrachd air sin bidh an cothrom aca dreuchdan a thogail ann an saoghal nam meadhanan Gàidhlig fhad ’s a tha iad a’ fuireach anns na h-eileanan no a’ tilleadh thuca.

We’re delighted that four new trainees have joined the MG ALBA team all based in our office in Stornoway. Welcome Calum, Donna, Seamus and Lena!

The new starts will gain hands-on experience and structured training across a range of departments, building specialist skills in digital media archiving, scheduling and media coordination, finance and broadcast technology and IT. On top of that they will have the opportunity to build careers within Gaelic media while remaining in, or returning to, the islands.

Gur math a thèid leibh 🙌

Freumhan | Ceithir Sgìrean, Aon Chànan 🤝

Tha e air a bhith na thlachd an fhilm seo a shealltainn ann an coimhearsnachdan air feadh na h-Eileanan an Iar thar na seachdainean a dh’fhalbh. Bha Luchd-cruthachaidh Susbaint Coimhearsnachd ag obair còmhla rinn thar an dà bhliadhna mu dheireadh, agus chuir iad an t-uabhas obair a-steach don phròiseact seo. Bu mhath leinn taing mhòr a thoirt do Shìne, Dhòmhnaill, Fiona, Abbie agus an co-òrdanaiche Liz airson an dìcheall ann a bhith a’ cur a’ phròiseact seo ri chèile ⭐

Taing mhòr cuideachd don a h-uile neach eile a bha an sàs ann an bhith a’ toirt na sgrìnidhean gu lèir gu buill. Tha e air leth cudromach dhuinn gu bheil an cothrom againn guthan agus sgeulachdan den leithid a thaisbeanadh, gu h-àraidh anns na coimhearsnachdan ris a bheil iad a’ buntainn.

🎬🎬🎬🎬

It’s been wonderful to have this film shown across communities in the Western Isles over the past few weeks. The Community Content Creators who were working with MG ALBA over the past two years have put a huge amount of work into the project. We would like to say a massive thank you to Sìne, Donald, Fiona, Abbie and the co-ordinator Liz, for their achievement in bringing this programme together.

Also a big thank you to everyone who was involved in making the screenings possible with hard work behind the scenes. It’s incredibly important to us that we can share voices and stories like this, especially in their own communities 🙌
