How many of you are hobbyist digital archivists?

I’ve found a semi-recent love for Irish film, and I’ve amassed quite the collection.

But I’ve started to find that some films become impossible to find, which cannot be aided by geography. I live rather far away.

Pat Collins is a phenomenal director, and I’d argue he’s made the best Irish films of the last twenty years. It’s not hard to see how a guy with a decade of experience making Irish documentaries would be so good making very real feeling Irish movies, so I suspect it might have something to do with that.

I couldn’t have a favourite film, but That They May Face the Rising Sun was special. How Harry Became a Tree practically turns The Field and Banshees of Inisheerin into a trilogy.

But I’ve been unable to pin down a permanent edition of Silence (2012). If I could buy a DVD I would, but regrettably that is not an option.
