Belfast Film Festival

Magherafelt filmmaker Conor Kelly is premiering his short film, A Song for Strays as part of Belfast Film Festival’s brand new Long Short Weekend on November 5 at the Strand Arts Centre.

The Belfast Film Festival (BFF) has launched its full 2023 programme, which will take place in November.

RENOWNED actor Stephen Rea was among the guests as the Belfast Film Festival closed in style at the weekend.

THE views of Belfast people experiencing the cultural upheaval of the 1960s and the onset of the Troubles have been brought back to life for a powerful new video exhibition.

THE world premiere of a new movie starring Paddy Kielty in his first screen acting role and set in the north has taken place as part of the 22nd annual Belfast Film Festival.

"IF YOU ask Patrick, he'll say we asked absolutely everyone else in Northern Ireland first – and they all said 'no'," jokes director Prasanna Puwanarajah of how comedian Patrick Kielty came to make his acting debut in Ballywalter, a bittersweet and darkly funny drama which opens the Belfast Film Festival tomorrow night.

HOMEGROWN drama Ballywalter will open the 2022 Belfast Film Festival (BFF) next week.

1. When did you think about a career in film and what were your first steps into it? To misquote the opening of Goodfellas, "as far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be an actor".

A HOMEGROWN movie which stars Co Down comedian Patrick Kielty is to open this year's Belfast Film Festival.
