Hitchcock film screened at Lorient festival with local singer accompanying
A silent film set in the Isle of Man has been shown at an international Celtic festival, with a specially written soundtrack.
The Manxman was directed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1929 and Manx singer Cairistiona Dougherty joined the Alain Pennec band to accompany the film.
The Isle of Man and Cornwall are both honoured nations at the Interceltique festival de Lorient this year and the movie was largely filmed in the English county.
Cairistiona says it was a fascinating project which she hopes can come to the Island some time:
Palatine GP changes booking system
MGP Supporters Club to make decision on charity next month
Isle of Man residents to take medical supplies to Cuba
"Clowngate": MHKs start 2026 with a war of words
Island has to 'plan for things we hope will never happen'
