Cultural Quarter Films

 

 

Cultural Quarter Films are a series of short videos and stories that celebrates the rich heritage of O’Connell Street and its surrounding areas.

 

CQ Films are both a historical and social history insight into this section of the city. The Medieval city Wall was broken through in the early 18th Century at T & H Doolans Pub in Georges Street to expand the city and this area that was created is now called the Cultural Quarter.

These short films aims to show visitors and locals alike some stories from this area’s past told by people who grew up, worked or played in the area. We hope you enjoy them and we would welcome any feedback as we see it as an organic series that will develop in the years to come. Created and produced by Waterford Youth Arts in 2021 with support from Waterford Council Arts Office, Waterford Cultural Quarter and Creative Waterford. This is a long term project that will be rolled out over the coming years, phase 1 which has 16 videos in total was released in March 2022, phase 2,3 & 4 will be added to this series as they are produced.
