When Irish cinematographer Jules Charlton was a small child he got a ringside seat, through his mother’s great friendship with Mariga Guinness, to the historic achievements of Mariga and her husband Desmond after they co-founded the Irish Georgian Society and saved some of Ireland’s greatest buildings - such as Castletown House in Co. Kildare - from speculation or ruin.
In ‘Memory of Mariga’, Jules returns to Castletown house with his HD camera to document the house as it is today in the ownership of the Irish State and to share personal, impressionistic memories of Mariga, his mother Maureen and his childhood; playing alone in the rooms of Castletown and its surrounding woods.
