Short Strand: The Movie

news report
Tuesday November 12, 2002 10:43 by Justin Moran - Sinn Fein maigh_nuad at yahoo dot com
An independent and community resourced film on the Short Strand will be premièred in the Irish Film Centre, Temple Bar on Friday 15th November at 7.30pm, screenings will be held throughout Dublin in the weeks following. As you may be aware the past four years has seen a massive rise in the frequency and intensity of sectarian attacks throughout the six counties, most of these attacks are, and have been, directed against the nationalist community. These sustained attacks have occurred in areas that the nationalist population is small, Portadown, Ballymena, Larne, or in areas where nationalists are ringed by loyalist areas such as North Belfast and the Short Strand community of East Belfast. The residents of the Short Strand have been terrorised and under effective siege and curfew by loyalist paramilitaries for the past two years. Unfortunately, despite some excellent work done by a small number of journalists, the siege has been portrayed as some sort of ‘inevitable consequence’ of the ‘tribal conflict that is Northern Ireland’. The result of this reporting has led to the necessary bodies shirking from their responsibilities as outlined in the historic Good Friday Agreement, which was endorsed by over 98% of the people of the island, and lead to inaccurate and irresponsible actions and provocative public statements from the leaders of unionism. Rather than despair or respond in kind, the residents of Short Strand have kept their eyes open and the lens clean and have documented in living colour the story of their siege. Their film shows in stark clarity the abuse and physical danger the residents are subjected to, the complicity of the British Army and PSNI and the reality of their imprisonment in their own community. This independent and community resourced film will be premièred in the Irish Film Centre, Temple Bar on Friday 15th November at 7.30pm, screenings will be held throughout Dublin in the weeks following.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5Justin - what is the story - is the premiere one of these invite only things? If so would it be possible to post locations/times/dates for the public screenings.
Thanks
where else after Dublin?
Short Strand residents are still under attack, at Halloween, illegal powerful fireworks were fired over from Cluan Place, which is effectively empty and derelict.Although there has been a recent influx into Cluan place of anti social LVF families put out of the greater east belfast area.
Mags, it's not invite only. It's open to the public and all are welcome. I'm not sure if there's a cover charge but if there is it'd be pretty nominal. As to other locations in Dublin, I know DCU are showing it on Wednesday the 20th at 7.30pm but beyond that I don't have any details.
Iosaf, no idea what the plans are for outside Dublin. Consult the events guide of An Phoblacht, available at all good news-stands and radical bookshops as well as on the web, for more details.
Even by my standards that was a pretty shameless plug.
I'll probably motor along then on Friday to have a look.
