Weir Fishing in Focus
Friday, 4 September, 2026
Some Ancient Technologies last until the present day and Weir Fishing is one of them. Fascinated by the dimensions of an archaeological find of a fishing weir, photographer and filmmaker Frank Wiersema decided to make a film about this phenomenon. Frank chats with host Noah Melton about the multi-pronged approach he took to making the film. Challenges he encountered ranged from the complexity of replicating a fishing weir as a museum display in Swifterkamp open-air museum, to considerations regarding the type of actors to cast and diversity and inclusion in the reenactment community in general. This conversation was recorded on June 24th. The film has been released in the meantime.Support the show
