In Conversation with Chris Young

Film and TV producer Chris Young talks to Alec Macdonald, the Gaelic voice of Daddy Pig, about his work transforming Gaelic narrative tradition into film. Young aims to tackle stereotypes and translate a culture full of storytelling to the big screen. The pair will also discuss Chris’s early life, living on Skye, working in London on shows such as The Inbetweeners, and what he is up to now. Alec is a teaching fellow at the University of Aberdeen and often does voiceover work and translates cartoons such as The Moomins and Peppa Pig into Gaelic. The University of Aberdeen WORD Centre has kindly supported this event.
