Holiday scenes: Carrey Family Film

Join three generations of the Carrey family as they holiday during the last summer before the outbreak of World War II.

Join the Carrey Family from the shores of Swansea to the waters of India in this home movie. Time has drawn an abstract dance of scratches over the film and flashes of colour burst through amidst the black and white memories. See Strangford Lough’s busy fishing harbour in action at Ardglass before a colourful glimpse of a regatta in Carrickfergus. A walk on the coastal path near Island Magee is followed by the bustling streets of Belfast and a picnic on the Antrim Coast Road.
