Oidhche Sheanchais (Irish: [ˌiːçə ˈhanˠəxəʃ]; "A Night of Storytelling"; variously given as The Storyteller, The Story Teller, Storyteller's Night, Night of Story-telling) is a 1935 Irish film directed by Robert J. Flaherty, who was also the cinematographer for the film. It was produced during the sound recording session for his more famous docufiction film Man of Aran in London, and is notable as the first Irish language sync sound film in the Irish Free State period.
