Oidhche Sheanchais

Seanchaí Seáinín Tom Ó Dioráin tells a traditional story called Máirtín Mac an Rí, a version of the maritime folk legend The Knife against the Wave.[5] The film opened in a small number of cinemas in Dublin and Cork on St. Patrick's Day in 1935.[7] A fire was believed to have destroyed all copies in 1943, but a nitrate distribution print was re-cataloged in 2012 in Harvard University's Houghton Library and soon pointed out by researchers.In November 2016, the film received its first ever television broadcast on TG4, Ireland's national language station.It was preceded by a 38 minute documentary called Oíche Chaillte an tSeanchaí (The Lost Night of the Storyteller).
