Belfast, My Love
A film about the last 30 years of war in Europe. A personal film about repressed memories, nightmares, and now dreams of peace and a possible future. In August 1969, Lawrence Pitkethly was a young filmmaker and BBC journalist filming in protestant and catholic communities, and the British Army as it occupied Northern Ireland. In this film, he returns to the same streets and original cast of characters, capturing their stories across thirty years. First they were children, then refugees, IRA recruits, protestant politicians, priests, clergymen... They were and remain people of Belfast. Filmed over nine months, the film paints a unique portrait of a society hoping to heal its scars and 300 years of hatred.
