Bloody Sunday introduced by James Nesbitt
The Irish Question plus Q&A
The Big Interview James Nesbitt & Greg Dyke
Bloody Sunday starring James Nesbitt, is both powerful and provocative. It is a meticulously crafted film that vividly recreates the 1972 Bogside massacre in Derry. Directed by Paul Greengrass, the movie employs a documentary style hand-held camerawork to immerse viewers directly into the chaos of the event. This technique, combined with a lack of music and strong performances from the cast, heightens the film's intense emotional impact. From its foreboding opening to its explosive climax, Bloody Sunday serves not only as a riveting thriller but also an essential historical document. Disturbing yet vital, it is strongly recommended viewing.
The screening of The Irish Question will be followed by a Q&A with the director Alan Gilsenan, writer John Walsh and moderated by Michael Clifford author & journalist.
With unique contributions from the likes of Leo Varadker, Bill Clinton, Mary-Lou McDonald, Mike Nesbitt, Monica McWilliams, John Major, Susan McKay, Bertie Ahern, Fintan O’Toole, Gerry Adams, Linda Ervine and Peter Mandelson amongst many others, The Irish Question takes a fresh and sometimes surprising look at the dark trauma of the past and the unique possibilities of the future.
