Details
The New Lodge flats are located in a predominantly working class, Catholic district of Northern Ireland’s capital.
The area remains marked by its tragically high death toll during the Troubles, the country’s 30-year conflict that took place between the 1960s and late 1990s. Director Alessandra Celesia unearths the emotional wounds left on the families remaining on the estate – the legacy of political violence. As protagonist Joe grapples with personal tragedy, including the murder of his teenage uncle, his story intertwines with those of his neighbours: Angie, haunted by a violent past, and Jolene, who finds solace in music.
Through moving reconstructions, testimonies and archival footage, Celesia’s profound and deeply human film reveals the ways unresolved trauma endures and changes across generations.
Followed by a filmmaker Q&A.
This screening will be Open Captioned and the Q&A will be Signed – a British Sign Language interpreter will be visible on stage throughout the event.
