The next showing will be on Friday 25th November when the film is Belfast (2021)
This British coming-of-age drama follows a young boy’s childhood in Belfast at the start of ‘The Troubles’ in 1969. Written & directed by Kenneth Branagh, it stars Caitríona Balfe, Judi Dench, Jamie Dornan & Ciarán Hinds. It won a BAFTA (Outstanding British Film) and an Oscar (Best Original Screenplay). “A deeply personal project for Branagh, [the film] transcends its narrative deficits with powerful performances and directorial craft. It’s a film of formal beauty, letter-perfect performances, complex and textured writing… and enough comedic one-liners and Van Morrison musical montages to make you forget that you are watching a drama about seething sectarian hatreds.” [97 mins, 12 certificate] For further information about the Society email banddfs@gmail.com or phone Karen, evenings only, on 01327 312158.
