Free showing of “The Journey” (2016)
Sunday, August 5, 2:00 pm
Abbott Room, Belfast Free Library

Based on fact, this film imagines the conversation that lead to peace in Northern Ireland. In 2006, the bloody Troubles had dragged on for 40 years. The Catholic Republican and the Protestant Unionist sides have finally agreed to talk face-to-face. Unfortunately, firebrand Democratic Unionist Party leader Ian Paisley (Timothy Spall) and Sinn Fein politician Martin McGuinness (Colm Meaney), are long-time implacable enemies. However with talks about to start, Paisley is determined to attend his wedding anniversary at home, and McGuinness decides he must accompany his enemy on that trip, so as not to abandon this chance for peace. This is a dramatization of that journey that changed the course of history, and led to a unified Northern Ireland under the combined leadership of both men.

Special film introduction will be given regarding the part played by Maine Senator George Mitchell in mediating the final peace agreements.


16th Annual Festival of Art

The Festival of art was held June 7-10 with 139 local artists exhibiting their work. We incorporated some new ideas this year and judging from the response, they were well received.

Many thanks to local guitarist, Eric Bishop, and the Belfast Bay Fiddlers for providing great entertainment. Also, thanks to Younity Winery & Vineyards for the wine tasting.

On Saturday afternoon, the film “I Know a Man…..Ashley Bryan” was spectacular and very well attended.

Our new Sunday afternoon program for artists-only was enthusiastically received, and will be continued next year.

As always, thanks and appreciation to members of the Committee and all the wonderful volunteers who welcomed our guests at the Greeter Table, walked the area as Security Guards, and provided all the delicious food at our opening night table.

Catherine Bradbury, Chair
Festival of Art Committee
