Director Dimitrios Bouras explores island identities in this powerful and award-winning documentary, commissioned by the Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge. Taking the Greek Mediterranean island of Sifnos as a case study, Being an Islander considers a range of themes, including identity, insularity, materiality, and memory.
As we mark the 50th anniversary of the collapse of the Sunningdale Agreement, The Linen Hall invites you to reflect on this pivotal moment in Northern Ireland's history. Join us for an insightful conversation with journalist and broadcaster Mark Simpson, alongside Dermot Nesbitt, Brian Faulkner's election agent and a key member of the Ulster Unionist Party's negotiation team during the Stormont talks that led to the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement.
Join us for a special screening of the powerful BBC Northern Ireland Spotlight documentary, Blood on the Dance Floor. It describes how Darren Bradshaw, a gay police officer, was shot dead by a republican gunman in The Parliament Bar (a gay bar) in Belfast in 1997, and the impact of his killing and its circumstances. It also explores the experiences of the LGBT community in this period. This event coincides with Pride Week and will be followed by a Q&A with its creator, Jordan Dunbar – allowing us to discuss what’s involved in current affairs journalism, including the BBC podcast series on which this edition of Spotlight was based.
