Viewing Notes:

"Footage includes shots of: an old fisherman, who poses for the camera; a fisherman placing his coracle on the River Teifi and rowing across the river towards the camera on the opposite river bank, where he disembarks; two fishermen placing their coracles on the River Teifi and drifting downstream with a net between their coracles; a fisherman inspecting a net while a colleague watches; two fishermen placing their coracles on the River Teifi near Cenarth bridge, placing a net in the water and moving away from each other before drifting downstream with the net between them; fishermen drifting downstream at a different point on the river; two fishermen return to the river bank, the net appears empty; the two fishermen lift their coracles from the river and carry them on their backs to a village, presumably Cenarth; one fisherman places his coracle on a wall and walks away from the camera" (EAFA Database).
