“They called her Tehi Tegi, but nobody knew what she called herself... or where she had come from, or why she had arrived on the island..."
This modern retelling of an ancient Manx legend suggests an alternative to the traditional narrative of a beautiful woman luring men to their doom.
Who intended to do harm? Who is really to blame?
Tales From The Hearth Fire and the Edinburgh Cinema and Video Society present the première of the short film Tehi Tegi and also a selection of other short films featuring traditional Northern European folk tales and songs all filmed in and around Edinburgh.
