Vet On The Rocks

Renowned Irish filmmaker, Bob Quinn of Cinegael, spent a week in the mid-1970s following Connemara vet, Maurice O'Scanaill, on his rounds in the wild and wonderful scenery of Connemara. This was long before the advent of mobile phones and, in such a vast and mountainous area, radio/telephone was not a viable option. This made working in the area something of a logistical nightmare but a very scenic nightmare.

Alone in the Wilderness

Dick Proenneke retired at age 50 in 1967 and decided to build his own cabin in the wilderness at the base of the Aleutian Peninsula, in what is now Lake Clark National Park. Using color footage he shot himself, Proenneke traces how he came to this remote area, selected a homestead site and built his log cabin completely by himself. The documentary covers his first year in-country, showing his day-to-day activities and the passing of the seasons as he sought to scratch out a living alone in the wilderness.
