Cosúil leis an Cheathrú Ghaeltachta bíonn sé inrochtana agus fáiltiúil roimh shaoránaigh ár gcathrach agus roimh an chuid mhór cuairteoirí a bhíonn againn. 2016 brings an exciting line-up! everything from street theatre, children’s events, parties in the Park, concerts, sports, discussions, debates, exhibitions, dramas and readings in what is the largest community festival and summer school in ireland! beidh clár corraitheach againn in 2016. beidh gach sórt rudaí ann ó amharclannaíocht sráide, imeachtaí do pháistí, fleánna sa Pháirc, ceolchoirmeacha, spóirt, plé, díospóireachtaí, taispeántais, drámaí agus léamha san fhéile pobail agus sa scoil samhraidh is mó in éirinn! i would like to thank our local community; the Department for Communities, belfast City Council for its ongoing support for Féile, Tourism ni, the arts Council, Foras na Gaeilge, all our sponsors and funders, especially Diageo northern ireland, our friends in Cork lifelong learning Festival (with which we are twinned), Visit belfast, our venue partners and, of course, the wonderful management of St Mary’s University College for allowing us to take over their campus every august! ba mhaith liom buíochas a ghabháil lenár pobal áitiúil; an Roinn Pobal, Comhairle Cathrach bhéal Feirste dá tacaíocht leanúnach do Féile, Tourism ni, an Chomhairle ealaíon, Foras na Gaeilge, lenár n-urraí agus maoinitheoirí go léir, go háirithe Diageo northern ireland, ár gcairde i bhFéile Foghlaim Fadsaoil Chorcaí (lena bhfuil muid ceangailte), Visit belfast, lenár bpáirtnéirí ionaid agus le foireann bainistíochta iontach Cholaiste ollscoile naomh Muire leoga, as cead a thabhairt dúinn a gcampas a úsáid gach lúnasa!

Kevin Gamble Director, Féile an Phobail 4 Kevin Gamble Stiúrthóir, Féile an Phobail BeLFAST iS A riCher PLACe For hAViNG SuCh AN eNGAGiNG AND weLCoMiNG MuLTi-ArTS FeSTiVAL. The annual Féile an Phobail has, for longer most care to remember, been instrumental in promoting the positive cultural and creative reputation of west belfast. it has played a key role in bringing communities closer together through a shared celebration of the arts, providing people of all ages, backgrounds and interests with the kinds of inclusive and inspiring experiences that the arts excel at. bhí Féile an Phobail bhliantúil ríthábhachtach i gcur chun cinn chlú dearfach cultúrtha agus cruthaitheach iarthar bhéal Feirste le blianta anuas. bhí ról tábhachtach aici pobail a thabhairt níos dlúithe dá chéile trí chomhcheiliúradh a dhéanamh ar na healaíona agus tríd na cineálacha eispéireas cuimsitheach agus spreagúil dá bhfuil na healaíona iontach a chur ar fáil do dhaoine de gach aois, cúlra agus suim. The arts Council, as long term principal funder, is proud to be associated with all that the Féile has achieved. belfast is a richer place for having such an engaging and welcoming multi-arts festival. as the Féile has grown from a small community event into one of europe’s major festivals, it has reflected the growing confidence of a community that is aware of its own voice and of how to express itself positively and creatively. it provides a potent source of local pride and an opportunity to extend a hand of welcome right across the city and further. Tá bród ar an Chomhairle ealaíon, mar phríomhmhaoinitheoir fadtéarmach, bheith bainteach le gach dár bhain an Fhéile amach. Mar gheall ar an fhéile tharraingteach, fháiltiúil, ilealaíon seo tá béal Feirste níos luachmhaire mar áit. agus Féile ag fás ó imeacht pobail beag go ceann de na príomhfhéilte is mó san eoraip, léirigh sí muinín níos mó an phobail a bhfuil eolas aige ar a ghuth féin agus aige féin a léiriú ar bhealach dhearfach agus chruthaitheach. is foinse mhór bróid áitiúil í agus tugann sí deis fáilte mhór chroíúil a chur roimh gach duine ó fud fad na cathrach agus ó níos faide anonn. This year’s festival is as full of colour and character as ever and lives up to Féile’s reputation for offering a programme with broad appeal, sprinkled as liberally as ever with surprising and unexpected pleasures. The breadth of the programme is an important factor in attracting new audiences to the arts and encouraging people to stray from the familiar. You can always be confident to try new experiences here, secure in the knowledge that, with Feile, you are in good hands. beidh féile na bliana seo lán de dhathanna agus de charachtair, mar a bhíonn sí i gcónaí agus tá deacháil na Féile tuillte aici as clár a mbeidh tóir leathan air agus ina mbeidh pléisiúir iontacha agus nach mbeidh aon choinne againn leis, a chur ar fáil. is fachtóir tábhachtach é fairsinge an chláir le luchtaí éisteachta agus féachana nua a mhealladh chuig na healaíona agus le daoine a spreagadh. Tig libh bheith muiníneach i gcónaí triail a bhaint as eispéiris nua anseo agus an t-eolas agaibh go riarfaidh Féile go maith oraibh. roisín McDonough Chief executive Arts Council of Northern ireland roisín McDonough Príomhfheidhmeannach Comhairle ealaíon Thuaisceart éireann 5 on behalf of Diageo northern ireland, i am delighted that harp lager is returning as the official pouring partner of Féile an Phobail, ireland’s largest community arts festival. last year was amazing in so many ways and we are looking forward to emulating this success again in 2016. The august Féile has provided a wonderful boost for the community as a whole and the local hospitality industry for almost three decades now. This year’s line-up is truly exceptional and will take the festival to the next level and harp is delighted to be playing its part in the overall experience both at the festival and in the pub. We are committed to supporting publicans across belfast in helping them to make the most of the hospitality opportunities that come hand in hand with a festival of this scale and in bringing the spirit of Féile an Phobail to the local area. ar son Diageo northern ireland, tá áthas orm go mbeidh harp lager ar ais arís mar phríomhpháirtnéir oifigiúil dí Féile an Phobail, an fhéile ealaíon pobail is mó in éirinn. bhí an fhéile iontach ar bhealaí éagsúla anuraidh agus tá muid ag súil go mór leis an rath a bhí againn anuraidh a bhaint amach arís in 2016. is mór an borradh a chuir Féile faoin phobal i gcoitinne agus faoi thionscal an fháilteachais áitiúil le beagnach trí dheichniúr anuas. Tá clár na bliana seo fíoriontach agus forbróidh sé an fhéile chun cinn. Tá áthas ar harp a rannpháirt a ghlacadh in eispéireas fhoriomlán na féile agus sna tithe tábhairne. Tá muid tiomanta do thacaíocht a thabhairt do thábhairneoirí ar fud béal Feirste agus iad ag iarraidh a mhéad deiseanna fáilteachais agus is féidir a thapú ina leithéid seo d’fhéile mhór, le meon Féile an Phobail a chur chun cinn sa cheantar áitiúil. harp is all about ‘looking on the harp side’ of life – having fun and embracing the positive. The connection to a festival that offers everything from great music, comedy, drama, discussion and debate to street performances and carnival parades could not be more fitting. We are extremely excited about this year’s Féile feast! baineann harp le ‘looking on the harp side’ den saol – spraoi a bheith agat agus glacadh le cúrsaí an tsaoil go dearfach. níl nasc níos fóirsteanaí ná an nasc leis an fhéile seo ina mbíonn gach sórt rudaí ann ó cheol iontach, coiméide, dráma, plé agus díospóireacht go taibhithe sráide agus paráideanna carnabhail.

With his unique brand of observational humour and astute take on social commentary, this show reinforces Jake’s position as a comic at the top of his game.

Glenn Patterson burst onto the literary scene in 1988 when his acclaimed first novel, burning Your own (a coming-of-age story set in belfast in 1969) won a betty Trask award and the Rooney Prize for irish literature. a playwright and documentary filmmaker, his most recent novel, Gull, is based on the Delorean story. here’s Me here, the second collection of his newspaper and radio journalism was published last year. he is the co-writer (with Colin Carberry) of Good Vibrations (bbC Films) and recently wrote the libretto for long Story Short: the belfast opera. he is a senior lecturer in Creative Writing at Queen’s University’s Seamus heaney Centre and a patron of Fighting Words belfast. in 2015 Angeline King, having already written two novels, gave up her senior management role in sales and marketing, took the plunge and became a full-time author! Snugville Street begins in 2003 when hannah learns that her father’s return from prison to their Shankill Road home will collide with the arrival of her French exchange, etienne. The irish Times said of it: “an enjoyable coming-of-age tale with a belfast twist.” a belfast Tale, a soulful, transatlantic tale of troubles, love, friendship and hope is set between here and north america and follows the road to peace from 1990. Currently angeline is finishing a prequel to Snugville Street which should be published in the next few months. Tháinig Glenn Patterson sa saolréim litríochta in 1988 nuair a bhain a chéad úrscéal ardmhola, burning Your own (scéal theacht in aois suite i mbéal Feirste in 1969), duais betty Tusk agus Duais Ronney do litríocht éireannach. is drámadóir agus déantóir scannán faisnéise é agus tá an t-úrscéal is déanaí s’aigesean, Gull, bunaithe ar scéal Delorean.

Sa bhliain 2015, i ndiaidh di dhá úrscéal a scríobh, d’éirigh Angeline King, as a ról bainistíochta sinsearaí i ndíolachán agus margaíocht, le bheith ag obair mar údar lánaimseartha! Tosaíonn Snugville Street in 2003 nuair a fhaigheann hannah amach go dtiocfaidh teacht ar ais a hathar ó phríosún go dtí a dteach ar bhóthar na Seanchille salach ar theacht a mic leinn mhalartaithe, étienne.

Cultúrlann McAdam Ó Fiaich, Déardaoin 11 Lúnasa/Thursday 11 August, 2in/pm i've just published 'Grandpa the Sniper,' a memoir/biography about my grandfather (and namesake). originally from ballaghaderreen, Co Roscommon he and his brother Jack took part in the easter Rising and was heavily involved in the War of independence over the next five years. neither brother took part in the Civil War. it's a personal story my grandfather never really told - in fact he hardly spoke about any of it. i pulled it together using his letters and diaries as well as a deep dig into official records in ireland and britain. The response has been fantastic -- though it's not a history lesson it is a very accessible personal story that runs through momentous times. 34 My Grandpa the Sniper - seoladh leabhair agus plé leis an údar, Frank Shouldice.

The six months between the 1921 Treaty and the outbreak of the irish Civil War witnessed a series of sectarian atrocities in north belfast culminating in the mass murder of the MacMahon family on 22 March 1922. These disturbances involved Michael Collins, Winston Churchill and Sir James Craig in several attempts to end the unremitting bloodshed. This illustrated talk will highlight the political instability, which stoked the flames of violence, the role of the iRa and Ulster Specials, the Craig-Collins Pact of March 1922 and abortive efforts to enroll Catholics in the b Specials.

Dúirt Winston Churchill go raibh an foréigean polaitiúil agus seicteach i mbéal Feirste mar a bhí ‘cannibalism’ ann ach maidir leis na coirigh ‘stopped short of devouring the flesh of their victims’.

CoNSTANCe MArKieViCz The reBeL CouNTeSS St Mary’s university College, Fri 5th Aug, 1pm born into a world of privilege in 1868, as a member of the landed gentry of Sligo, Constance Markievicz turned her back on her background to rise to prominence as a leader of the easter Rising in 1916. She was the first female MP elected to the house of Commons in 1918 and the first female minister in Western europe in 1919. however, she has often been misrepresented and depicted negatively in biographies. Using underused and previously undiscovered sources Dr Laura McAtackney will provide new insights into the illusive and remarkable character of Constance as a child, revolutionary, and, later, as a campaigner for social justice. laura Mcatackney is a native of belfast, and is associate Professor in Sustainable heritage Management in the archaeology department of aarhus University in Denmark.

Dr Grayson specialises in british and irish history in the twentieth century, with a particular focus on ireland in the era of the First World War. he is the author of belfast boys: how Unionists and nationalists Fought and Died Together in the First World War. Coláiste Ollscoile Naomh Muire, Dé Luain 8 Lúnasa, 1i.n. Déanfaidh an Dr. Richard Grayson anailís ar Chath an Somme ó pheirspictíochtaí dhá rannán óglach, an 36ú rannán (Ulaidh) agus an 16ú rannán (éireannach) (a d’earcaigh cuid mhór daoine ó bhéal Feirste). Cuirfidh sé ceist fhíorshuimiúil faoi stair ailtéarnach – cad é a d’fhéadfadh tarlú dá malartódh an16ú agus an 36ú rannán a n-áiteanna ar an Somme? Tá speisialtóireacht ag an Dr. Grayson i stair na breataine agus na héireann san fhicheadú haois, agus fócas ar leith aige ar éirinn le linn an Chéad Chogaidh Dhomhanda. is údar belfast boys: how Unionists and nationalists Fought and Died Together in the First World War é. 8th – 12th August The SoMMe & The BriTiSh ArMy St Mary’s university College, Tues 9th August, 1pm in popular memory and imagination, inspired in large part by the TV series blackadder and the work of various war poets, the word ‘Somme’ conjures up images of blood, mud and slaughter. however, some historians portray the Somme as a victory for the british army, albeit one which cost thousands of lives, and part of an essential ‘learning process’ regarding tactics and artillery support. historian Dr Timothy Bowman will not only consider these different perspectives of the battle but how a small pre-war army, largely focused on imperial policing, exponentially expanded in a short space of time and how it coped with the new type of warfare in WWi. 42 8 – 12 Lúnasa AN SOMME AGUS ARM NA BREATAINE Coláiste Ollscoile Naomh Muire, Dé Máirt 9 Lúnasa, 1i.n. Sa chuimhne agus sa tsamhlaíocht choitianta, spreagtha ag clár teilifíse blackadder agus saothar filí cogaidh éagsúla sa chuid is mó, tugann íomhánna fola, láib agus áir chun cuimhne nuair a luaítear an focal ‘Somme’. Cuireann roinnt staraithe an Somme iáthair mar bhua, cé go bhfuair na míle daoine bás, agus mar chuid de ‘próiseas foghlama’ riachtanach, ó thaobh teaicticí agus tacaíochta airtléire de. ní amháin go ndéanfaidh an staraí an Dr. Timothy Bowman machnamh ar na peirspictíochtaí éagsúla faoin Chath ach ar an bhealach a d’fhás arm beag réamhchogaidh a dhírigh go príomhá ar phóilíneacht impiriúil as cuimse, taobh istigh de thréimhse bheag ama, agus ar an bhealach a dhéileáil sé leis an sórt nua cogaíochta sa Chéad Chogadh Domhanda.

When the flag protests hit the streets of east belfast in late 2012, Dan Gordon was distressed to see the area in which he had grown up become the scene of such conflict. The community that he remembered as being proud and confident seemed disconnected, disillusioned and angry. in response, Dan set about devising a remarkable theatre project with songs, poetry, music and drama. it would be part of the belfast Festival at Queen’s but staged in an east belfast orange hall. and the performers would be young men from local Protestant flute bands. What emerged was a performance based around the experiences of men from the area who served in the First World War. but as this Doubleband documentary for bbC northern ireland reveals, for the young bandsmen, taking to the stage was not only a challenge, but an opportunity to consider their own attitudes towards identify – and the flag.

For almost 40 years, senior police and media have promoted a theory that Mary was abducted by a stranger but her identical twin sister ann and some of the first investigating officers believe that the sixyear-old was murdered by someone she knew. The film reveals allegations of political interference in the early days after the murder, which shielded the killer despite compelling evidence against him. What emerges is a police cover-up of grotesque proportions. Gemma O’Doherty is a multi-award winning journalist who worked for the irish independent for 17 years where she was chief features writer. She is best known for her work on the Fr niall Molloy murder, described in leinster house as the biggest cover-up in the history of the state.

The present book ‘resurgence’ explains why the primary responsibility for the conflict in the north lies with the architects and operators of the system that gave the minority community a stark choice only between permanent secondclass status or war. and it describes how that War was ended to the advantage of the community, though short of its final objective, in such an effective way that momentum was carried from war to politics. hosted by Mark Langhammer.

BEST WISHES TO FÉILE AN PHOBAIL 11 Kennedy Way, belfast bT11 9aP Tel: 028 9043 1143 59 The BriTiSh LeFT AND The iriSh reVoLuTioN During the israeli offensive dubbed “operation Protective edge” in 2014, more than 140 Palestinian families lost three members or more in the Gaza Strip. Families usually stayed together and slept in the same room. as a result, when direct strikes occurred, there was a strong chance that a high number of people from the same family would be killed. The difference between life and death in some instance was just a matter of seconds. 18-yearold ala balata survived because he left the living room to check the water tank on the roof. he lost his parents and seven siblings in the attack. Photographer Anne Paq began photographing during the offensive and has gone back since to photograph and interview the families, most of who remain in the ruins. Through her photographs and words she will explore the personal stories behind the statistics. Sponsored by relatives for Justice.

The second part is a set of paintings that show the route nora took in the short story na bóithre. Pearse used actual locations in Ros Muc that have not changed much since he wrote the story.

McKernon and Fiacc talked at length about many of the poems which are so intertwined with Fiaccs life from a young age. in fact they are a journal of his life. This film lays bare the true heart of the SToRMbiRD, Pádraic Fiacc - his genius, philosophy and desire to selflessly serve his fellow man. a film about St. James’ Farm ‘The comedian, W.C. Fields, is credited with the line, “never work with children or animals.” This line is echoed in jest by limbo and Dan, the men behind St. James’s Farm, a project that started with a plot of unused ground and a few chickens in West belfast. as part of the community as artist series, a Portrait of St. James's is the product of time spent in and around the farm, the kids, and the animals. The result is a collaboration which is part storytelling/part documentation of the work and creativity involved in bringing farm animals into an urban landscape. The idea of space becomes a theme throughout. The ownership and use of public space as a site for community engagement, as a site for raising, keeping, and containing livestock, and as an area to be claimed, owned, and utilized. The imagery is driven by the juxtaposition of typically rural, timeless scenes against the backdrop of the city. Space for ideas to develop. Space for childhood. Space as playground.’ The accompanying painting and photographic exhibition includes pictures inspired by Padraic’s poetry and life. There are portraits by neil Shawcross, (belfast) - elena Sali (Spain) - Stevie Raelyn (California) to name but some. Michael Gallagher ‘in This Solemn hour’ – re-imagining images from the easter rising This exhibition, entitled ‘in This Solemn hour’, is an artistic interpretation of some of the most iconic photographs relating to the easter 1916 Rising. From a sombre Roger Casement to a defiant Countess Markievicz or a burnt-out GPo, this unique black and white series fully captures the spirit and struggle of a country reborn. Caoimhín McGiolla Cathain The role of women in the Rising has been a major theme in this year’s national centenary commemorations. With this in mind, the artist also produced a unique set of miniature portraits depicting some of the women from across ireland who took active roles throughout easter Week. These include Dr Kathleen lynn, Margaret Skinnider, helena Moloney and Winifred Carney amongst many others. This set of miniature portraits is a follow-up to his very successful 'Faces of Freedom' exhibition earlier this year which depicted the 16 executed leaders of the Rising. Gallagher is an amateur artist from West belfast. a photographic exhibition of mainly street and cityscapes from the basque Country. Caoimhín Mac Giolla Cathain is a musician and photographer from belfast’s Shaw’s Road Gaeltacht. he has exhibited his work in na ballaí bána in an Cultúrlann Mcadam Ó Fiaich in november 2012 and was published in nós magazine (issue 41, February 2014). his work consists mainly of street and cityscape photography, but also nature and landscape can be seen in some of his work. he also photographs actor headshots and has recently worked on a photoshoot for the irish traditional album, ‘Good morning to your nightcap,’ Joanne Brady Joanne brady art encompasses a wide range of media including painting, embroidery, print making, photography and weaving. a wide range of art includes original pieces and limited edition prints. Joanne is a graduate of the University of Ulster, belfast. Joe Ó Muircheartaigh ‘Seomra 1916’ is a foundation story of the easter Rising, as distinct from being about the rebellion itself. Joe Ó Muircheartaigh is a journalist/documentary maker who lives in ennis Co Clare. he recently completed this 30-minute documentary called ‘Seomra 1916’,with artist Shelagh honan. it tells the story of a famous meeting that took place in September 1914, as which plans for a rebellion were first hatched. it took place on 25 Parnell Square in Dublin, which at that time was headquarters of the Gaelic league when the seven signatories of the Proclamation came together for the first time as a group. The meeting room later became part of a school, Coláiste Mhuire, which was an irish language secondary school that he himself attended. The documentary tells the story of that room, what went on there and how that it subsequently became a reference point and touchstone for the very existence of an irish language secondary school in many ways owed thanks to its existence for the men and women of 1916, and particularly because of the famous meeting that took place within its walls. 70 west Belfast Arts Society a longstanding popular exhibition of paintings by a group of local talented artists Contact: Sean Mcerlean 07872650518 brady loves mixing the old with the new.

This project involves dedicating a square to the memory of the loved one and is open to all families who have lost as a result of the conflict irrespective of their experience or background. Telling the story of grief and loss can overwhelm the individual, however through this gentle process families can claim ownership of the relationships they once held dear with their loved ones as they recall positive memories of how their loved one lived. Deciding on how to design the square facilitates a narrative of the loved one’s life according to the family that loved them. Families lovingly choose memorabilia and themes that are intimate to them allowing a sense of privacy, dignity and respect for their family member who is no longer here. although each square represents the enormity of loss and enduring pain felt by families they also remain a loving testimony to a life lived. a qualified tutor is on hand to assist and support families who feel they cannot sew or represent their feelings adequately. if you would like to find out more about the Remembering Quilt please contact: Mary Kate Quinn at relatives for Justice on 028 90 627171, email: marykate@relativesforjustice.com ALL WE DO IS DRINK! • NO DELIVERY CHARGES • NO EXTRA CHARGE FOR SPLIT CASES • NO MINIMUM ORDER SIZE Méabha Magerr 72 Méabha chose this particular image of Roger Casement because it has a soft, contemplative mood which shows an essence of the man to which she is drawn. The painting of Pádraic and William Pearse invokes the very personal story of their Mother’s loss, which - as the mother of two sons herself - touches the artist deeply. Méabha paints an eclectic mix of subject matter and uses various media from pure watercolour to soft pastels and acrylics, being particularly drawn to compositions with a strong personal narrative which will invite the attention of viewers and on occasion raise more questions than answers.

The painting hangs in the Senate Chamber at Parliament buildings. Murphy is a both a perfectionist and an adventurist in his desire to master the painterly techniques of the past and the present. his oeuvre over the past twenty years has absorbed and transformed a multitude of influences that have informed his desire to explore both traditional figuration and an expressive abstraction. his resulting works illustrate that he is a consummate storyteller, mythmaker and visual poet of a painter. amanda Croft. no stranger to Féile an Phobail, Stephen is a belfast born artist b.1989 Selftaught artist with experience using a wide range of mediums-drawing heavily from classical chiaroscuro styles to graffiti art. This is often used to politically question or to pay homage to influential pop culture figures.

The underpinning concept that art should not be restricted. Maria McManus a photographic exhibition of PoST!!! images of the old Post office in Clones from Maria’s residency in May of 2015. PoST! a homage to old post offices everywhere: for love letters, chain letters, junk mail, hate mail, postal workers and the occasional rebellion. in 1916,the GPo in Dublin was centre stage of the easter Rising. one hundred years on, we hardly write letters, we don’t send postcards from our holidays, we don’t send telegrams nor use the operator to connect our calls, and financial transactions are largely electronic…..all changed; changed utterly. (ahem..) in 2014, the writer Maria McManus set out to handwrite 365 letters in 365 days to… well, she’d write to anyone who wanted one, and some people who didn’t. She wrote to friends, family, the curious, the President, an Post, to prisoners and she left letters in public spaces…… just to see what would happen and so the CoRReSPonDenCe project was born. in 2015 she undertook a residency at The old Post office in Clones, Co. Monaghan. it was no longer functioning as an operational post office and the exhibition images symbolize something deep about the changes that are happening. PoST! The old Post office exhibition. Deirdre Mackel 74 Deirdre focuses particularly upon affects arising in childhood, early memories that somehow attach themselves to everyday domestic objects and come to acquire a symbolic dimension in later life. humour comes into the work, through the association of objects, as does the sculptural beauty of some objects that others may dismiss as mundane or purely functional – finding beauty in various situations. The work includes a dimension of childhood memory and makes references to remembered childhood landscapes and streetscapes throughout the conflict; playful associations between remembered and symbolic objects from childhood. She arranges them so as to allow them to resonate together so that their meaning is evocative and affective rather than merely rational; inviting the viewer to hold them together in their minds so that their collective significance can grow and take shape. objects that are readily dismissed as mundane or purely functional gradually reveal an unexpected dimension of feeling and of meaning. We can discover beauty in the most ‘banal’ memories of things and an unexpected poignancy in half-remembered situations..

These recollections are mere moments; remembered, forgotten; spoken and unspoken; utter normality juxtaposed with the extraordinary. leaving is a film work that is loosely connected to the proposed theme for Féile an Phobail 2016. The stories told however, are directly connected to the conflict, which, it could be said are a continuation of the conflicts we have experienced as irish people over the last 100+ years. McCAUSLAND AIRPORT CAR PARK Book Your Space The Public Record office of northern ireland (PRoni) will be displaying its exhibition on Constance (aka Countess Markievicz) and eva Gore-booth at Falls library from 1st to 20th august. This exhibition uses material from the lissadell archive at PRoni and explores the lives of the sisters Constance (Countess Markievicz) and eva Gore-booth. Constance and eva were born into a world characterised by privilege, comfort and security - a world, lifestyle and upbringing against which they would both ultimately rebel. 76 Con and eva exhibition at Falls Library Falls Library 1st-20th Aug The two sisters were brought up in lissadell house, Co. Sligo. Constance would go on to become a revolutionary nationalist, suffragette, socialist and was one of the leaders of the easter Rising. eva would become an irish poet, dramatist, pacifist, committed suffragist and labour activist. The exhibition is the result of collaboration between staff at PRoni, Manchester School of art, University College Dublin (UCD) and aarhus University in Denmark. it examines the role that theatre, literature and art play in both their lives, and the divergent political paths that they chose to follow.

CorK PArTNerShiP The Féile an Phobail / Cork partnership continues to flourish with another set of marathon runners and rowers descending upon Cork this June. Fourteen young people from both the hillhall area of lisburn and the Colin area of belfast participated in the ocean to City, an Rás Mór, in which two of our teams came 2nd and 3rd respectively in their race category! our marathon team wasn’t so gracious with a time of slightly over 5 hours recorded! 84 Jim o’Donovan with Padraig o Duininn The partnership has continued to develop and grow thanks to many people from those in belfast and lisburn, to those in Cork. but we would like to pay tribute to two people this year. one is Michael Corcoran who sadly passed away within the past 6 months and was an exceptional character in the Cork marathon team, carrying many a weary, battered and bruised runner over the finish line. he was an inspirational individual and will be sadly missed by the belfast team with whom we often had many a great and late night’s banter with. The other, who has made many of these things happen, is a very humble and modest man, and one we will be eternally indebted to. Jim o’Donovan has been a staunch advocate of the belfast / Cork relationship and whilst we are sad to see him retire, we wish him the very best for all his future exploits, and appreciate all his endeavours.

Admission: Free While standing at her tin bath and washboard Minnie Davidson reminisces and takes us on a journey from 1928, the year she was born. Minnie has 5 siblings and is from a typical working class belfast family. She tells of her thoughts and fears as an eleven year old child, when she hears that war has been declared in 1939. her experiences during the night of the blitz, and running to the hills for safety. The heartbreak of being evacuated with her siblings to the country and leaving her mother. Minnie will take the audience on a journey with her. They will roar with laughter one minute and cry the next. For the people who have lived through the war years, they will identify with Minnie's story and bring back a flood of memories. For those younger audiences it is a thought provoking piece of theatre. For the last two years Sharon Dickson has been performing this piece of theatre. She has taken it to limavady, Portglenone, Dungiven, bangor, holywood, to name but a few. She has performed it mainly to community and church groups across belfast . Sharon was asked by the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum to perform it there as part of their 40's themed days. it went down a storm and in turn the war museum has asked for it to be performed as part of their belfast blitz memories project.

'i am standing on the threshold of another trembling world. May God have mercy on my soul.' bobby Sands, 1st March 1981 'i am standing on the threshold of another trembling world. May God have mercy on my soul.' bobby Sands, 1st March 1981 With these words, iRa volunteer bobby Sands began his hunger strike on March 1st 1981. 66 DaYS tells the factual story of bobby Sands’ life for the first time on film. Using eye-witness testimony, unseen archive, reconstructions and animation, this cinematic odyssey serves as both the definitive account of a self-created irish martyr and a seismic moment in 20th century irish history, the legacy of which we continue to live with today. Sands own words form the heart of the film, through his many poems, letters and ‘comms’ all penned inside prison, and in particular, his personal diary which he kept for the first 17 days of his hunger strike.

Celebrating Sailortown although Sailortown is forever associated with the once thriving maritime industry that brought belfast fame and fortune, it also reflects a history of struggle, resilience and community spirit in the face of hardship and poverty. With redevelopment in the 1960s the community was dispersed and many settled in the nearby new lodge. however the memories of old Sailortown have never died and ties of kith and kin are maintained to the present day. Much work has been done since to document the story of Sailortown and tales about the various characters that once lived and worked there have passed into legend. although the present day Sailortown looks and feels much different, efforts to regenerate the area continue. as part of that process a special celebration day has been organised by Clanmil housing association and Sailortown Regeneration Group.
