DFA SLOW TV
Welcome to the DFA Slow TV website. Immerse yourself in archive film as we transport you back in time using visuals from the past, by way of the Northern Ireland Screen archive.
The collections cover the gentle side of life here: traditions, folklore, crafts, and fashion, among various other themes. The continuous stream of film means you don’t know what’s coming next, and we hope you will spend many happy hours here watching to uncover the previously hidden treasures present within. So put your feet up, relax, and see where you end up.
Use the schedule to see the various themes and click on the collections links to explore more on the Digital Film Archive.
