WELCOME TO OUR 2021 AUGUST FÉILE PROGRAMME FÁILTÍGÍ GO CLÁR FÉILE LÚNASA 2021 S’AGAINNE.

A chairde,

Welcome to our 2021 August Féile Programme. This past 18 months or so has had a profound and devastating impact on so many of our lives. Our very world has changed as has our relationship with it.

Fáiltígí go Clár Féile Lúnasa 2021 s’againne. Bhí an-tionchar uafásach ag na 18 mí seo anuas ar shaolta chuid mhór daoine. Tá ár ndomhan athraithe agus ár gcaidreamh leis chomh maith.

As wider society begins to make efforts to build back and recover from the Covid Pandemic, we recognise the heroic efforts of our entire community during this time and we especially pay tribute to health practitioners and front line workers. Féile an Phobail translates from Irish to ‘Festival of the People’ and this year’s Féile highlights our people’s amazing resilience, our connections to each other and those further away. Our programme will demonstrate how proud we all are of our efforts and of those around us.

Aithíonn muid, agus ár sochaí ag forbairt chun cinn arís agus ag téarnamh ó Phaindéim Covid, iarrachtaí éachtacha ár bpobail iomláin i rith an ama seo agus molann muid na cleachtóirí sláinte agus na hoibrithe ar an líne tosaigh ach go háirithe. Ciallaíonn Féile an Phobail ‘Festival of the People’ as Gaeilge agus díreoidh Féile na bliana seo ar ár dteacht aniar iontach, ar ár naisc lena chéile agus leis na daoine eile sin níos faide ar shiúl. Léireoidh ár gclár chomh bródúil agus atá muid uilig as ár n-iarrachtaí agus as iarrachtaí iad siúd atá timpeall orainn.

Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 our August festival programme was delivered entirely online by way of a ‘Virtual’ Féile where we invited the world to relax safely and in the comfort of their own homes, and enjoy what our world-famous festival had to offer. While we experienced record numbers, with over 400,000 audience views across our range of events, we all know nothing can replace the atmosphere of being there at live arts and cultural events. There is indeed an atmosphere and real sense of community spirit only experienced at Féile! So, we are delighted this year to be making our way back to live arts, cultural and community events, welcoming audiences into the very heart of West Belfast as we showcase local, national and international talent with over 250 top class ‘live’ and virtual events. Our flagship August Féile provides locals and visitors with an opportunity to tap into the rhythms which define this vibrant, creative and unique part of the City, a place that delights in sounds: the spoken word, the beat of rhyme, the rhythm of song, the crackle of the opened book, where one minute you can be in the hustle and bustle of City life, and the next lost in the hills and countryside overlooking Belfast. Everything from pop-up theatre, children’s events, concerts, sports, discussions, debates, exhibitions, dramas and readings in what is proudly the largest community festival and summer school in Ireland! Féile works tirelessly to be community focused, always asking ourselves why would people want to attend and watch our events, who are they and how can we connect to them. The answers to these questions lie in the pages of this programme which reflect contemporary issues that are culturally, socially and economically important to individuals and to Belfast. Together we will make this Féile memorable and display the very best of what our community has to offer. Finally, a huge go raibh míle maith agat to our entire community for your efforts over recent months, showcasing all that is great about West Belfast. Thank you also to our key partners, funders, sponsors and stakeholders for supporting Féile during these unprecedented times. We look forward to seeing you all from the 5th -15th August 2021

Kevin Gamble, Director, Féile an Phobail

Mar gheall ar phaindéim leanúnach Covid-19 in 2020, bhí clár ár bhféile Lúnasa go hiomlán ar líne nuair a bhí ‘Féile Fhíorúil’ againn mar ar iarr muid ar an domhan a scíth a ligean go slán sabháilte óna mbailte féin, agus sult a bhaint as an réimse imeachtaí a bhí ag ár bhféile dhomhancháiliúil. Cé gur amharc breis agus 400,000 duine ar ár réimse imeachtaí, tá a fhios againn go léir nach bhfuil sárú ar an atmaisféar nuair a bhíonn na himeachtaí ealaíon agus cultúrtha beo ann. Tá atmaisféar agus fíormheon pobail ann nach mbíonn ach ag Féile! Mar sin, tá áthas an domhain orainn go mbeidh imeachtaí ealaíon, cultúrtha agus pobail beo ar siúl arís ina mbeidh muid ag cur fáilte roimh luchtanna féachana go croílár Iarthar Bhéal Feirste, agus sinne ag léiriú tallann áitiúil, náisiúnta agus idirnáisiúnta ag breis agus 250 scothimeacht ‘beo’ agus fíorúla. Tabharfaidh ár bpríomhfhéile Lúnasa deis do dhaoine áitiúla agus do chuairteoirí ceangal a dhéanamh le rithimí a leagann amach cad is cuid bheoga, chruthaitheach agus uathúil den Chathair seo ann. Áit a mbaineann sult as fuaimeanna: an focal labhartha, bualadh rithimí, rithimí amhrán, brioscarnacht an leabhair oscailte, nuair is féidir leat a bheith ag éisteacht le ruaille buaille shaol na Cathrach nóiméad amháin, agus ansin a bheith caillte sna cnoic agus faoin tuath atá os cionn nó thart ar Bhéal Feirste sa chéad nóiméad eile. Beidh gach sórt rudaí againn ó phreabamharclannaíocht, imeachtaí do pháistí, ceolchoirmeacha, spóirt, plé, díospóireachtaí, taispeántais, drámaí agus léamha san fhéile pobail agus sa scoil samhraidh is mó in Éirinn! Oibríonn Féile gan stad gan staonadh le díriú ar an phobal. Cuireann muid ceist orainn féin i gcónaí faoin fháth ar mhaith le daoine freastal agus amharc ar ár n-imeachtaí. Cé hiad agus cad é mar is féidir linn ceangal a dhéanamh leo? Tá na freagraí ar na ceisteanna sin sa chlár seo a léiríonn ceisteanna comhaimseartha a bhfuil tábhacht chultúrtha, shóisialta agus gheilleagrach acu do dhaoine agus do Bhéal Feirste. Déanaimis Féile fhíorspeisialta den fhéile seo agus léirímis scoth ár bpobail. Mar fhocal scoir, ba mhaith liom buíochas mór a ghabháil leis an phobal iomlan as bhur n-iarrachtaí le míonna déanacha anuas. Léiríonn sibh na rudaí uilig is iontaí faoi Iarthar Bhéal Feirste. Ba mhaith liom buíochas a ghabháil lenár bpríomhpháirtnéirí, lenár nurraitheoirí agus lenár bpáirtithe leasmhara as tacaíocht a thabhairt dúinn le linn na n-amanna seo nach bhfacthas riamh roimhe. Tá muid ag súil le bheith do bhur bhfeiceáil uilig ó 5 -15 Lúnasa 2021.

OVER THE YEARS, FÉILE HAS GROWN TO BECOME THE LARGEST COMMUNITY ARTS FESTIVAL ON THE ISLAND OF IRELAND... THAT’S SOME ACHIEVEMENT AND ACCOLADE!

As a proud funder of Féile an Phobail, we’re delighted that the 33rd annual Féile will make a very welcome return this August with over 250 arts and cultural events. Belfast’s vibrant festival scene is an important part of our 10 year cultural strategy, A City Imagining, but there’s no doubt this has been a challenging 18 months for the sector. Despite this, festival organisers have consistently adapted their programmes to deliver an incredible range of innovative and entertaining activities to help inspire and connect our communities. And as we move forward, arts and culture will continue to play an extremely important role in the city’s recovery.

Mar mhaoinitheoir bródúil Féile an Phobail, tá lúcháir orainn go mbeidh an 33ú bliain de Féile bhliantúil ar ais arís i mí Lúnasa le breis agus 250 imeacht ealaíne agus cultúrtha. Tá saol beoga féile Bhéal Feirste mar chuid thábhachtach dár straitéis 10 mbliana, A City Imagining, ach níl amhras ar bith ann gur 18 mí dúshlánacha a bhí ann don earnáil. Ina ainneoin seo, d’athraigh eagraithe féile a gcláir i gcónaí le réimse gníomhaíochtaí nuálaíocha agus siamsúla a chur ar fáil a spreagann agus a cheanglaíonn ár bpobail. Tá ról antábhachtach ag na healaíona agus ag an chultúr i dtéarnamh na cathrach, agus sinne ag forbairt chun cinn.

Over the years, Féile has grown to become the largest community arts festival on the island of Ireland – attracting thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds to enjoy culture and the arts – many for the first time. That’s some achievement and accolade!

Thar na blianta, tháinig fás ar Féile agus anois is í an fhéile ealaíon pobail is mó ar oileán na hÉireann í. Meallann sí na mílte daoine de gach aois agus cúlra le sult a bhaint as an chultúr agus na healaíona, den chéad uair riamh i gcás cuid mhór díobh. Sin sáréacht iontach!

Following the success of last year’s Virtual Féile, organisers have devised a new hybrid format for 2021 combining both live and virtual events - and the programme is more wideranging than ever.

I ndiaidh rath na Féile Fíorúla anuraidh, bheartaigh na heagraithe formáid nua hibrideach do 2021, a chuirfidh imeachtaí beo agus fíorúla le chéile. Tá an clár níos fairsinge ná riamh roimhe.

From tours, talks, debates and crafts to carnival, visual arts, sport, literature, film and Irish Traditional music – this year’s programme offers us real gems, whatever our interests. And by continuing with an online element, Féile 33 is sure to attract audiences from far and wide, transporting us creatively to other places at a time when travel continues to be restricted.

Ó thurais, cainteanna, díospóireachtaí agus ceardaíocht go carnabhal, amharcealaíona, spórt, litríocht, scannáin agus ceol traidisiúnta Éireannach, beidh seoidimeachtaí i gclár na bliana seo, cibé suim atá againn. Mar gheall go mbeidh sí ag leanstan ar aghaidh leis an ghné ar líne de, tá mé cinnte go meallfaidh Féile 33 luchtanna féachana ó chian is ó chóngar. Beidh sí dár dtabhairt go cruthaitheach go háiteanna ag am nuair atá srianta ar an taisteal go fóill.

I hope you enjoy Féile 33 and I’d like to wish everyone involved – not forgetting the 100+ fantastic Féile volunteers the very best of luck.

Lord Mayor of Belfast, Councillor Kate Nicholl

Tá súil agam go mbainfidh sibh sult as Féile 33 agus ba mhaith liom ádh mór a ghuí ar gach duine a mbeidh baint acu léi, gan dearmad a dhéanamh ar na 100+ saorálaí iontacha Féile chomh maith. Ard-Mhéara Bhéal Feirste. An Comhairleoir Kate Nicholl

A TREMENDOUS SHOWCASING ACHIEVEMENT FOR LOCAL ARTS, THE FÉILE, AND WEST BELFAST.

Welcome

It’s a great pleasure to welcome this year’s August Féile programme. After such a long, hard year for everyone, our thirst for arts, culture and entertainment has never felt stronger. Throughout the pandemic, the arts have been one of our brightest lights, shining out as they have entertained us, inspired us and given us the solace and the lift that we have all needed so very much. Now, with the Féile and its 250+ events, we have the opportunity to really indulge ourselves in a feast of arts and music. During the last year, we have all become accustomed to alternative ways of consuming our arts and entertainment. With public health restrictions making it all but impossible for artists and performers to engage directly with audiences, many turned to digital and online platforms to share their work. One welcome result of the increased presence online is that much more art has become more accessible to many more people. The audience figures for last year’s Féile bear this out: online, the festival attracted more than 400,000 guests - a tremendous showcasing achievement for local arts, the Féile, and West Belfast. Thanks to online and digital developments, people can now enjoy aspects of this great festival whether they live in Belfast, Ballymena or Baltimore.

Is mór an pléisiúr dom é fáilte a chur roimh chlár Lúnasa Féile na bliana seo. I ndiaidh bliana , fada deacra do gach duine, tá cíocras ealaíon, cultúir agus siamsaíochtaí níos láidre orainn anois ná riamh roimhe. Bhí na healaíona ar cheann de na rudaí ba dhearfaí a bhí againn i mbliana. Ba dhíol suntais iad agus iad ag cur siamsa ar fáil dúinn le linn na paindéime. Bhí siad dár spreagadh agus thug siad an sólás agus an misneach mór dúinn a bhí de dhíth orainn uilig. Anois, le Féile agus a 250+ imeacht, beidh an deis againn an-sásamh a bhaint as féasta ealaíon agus ceoil. Bhí muid cleachtaithe le bheith ag teacht ar bhealaí eile le haghaidh ár n-ealaíon agus ár siamsaíochta le linn na bliana seo caite. De dheasca na srianta ní raibh ealaíontóirí agus ceoltóirí ábalta taibhiú go díreach os comhair lucht féachana, mar sin de, bhain cuid mhór díobh úsáid as na hardáin dhigiteacha agus ar líne lena gcuid oibre a roinnt. Ceann de na buntáistí a tháinig as níos mó láithreachta ar líne ba ea go raibh níos mó ealaíne ar fáil do i bhfad níos mó daoine. Léiríonn na figiúirí don lucht féachana le linn Féile anuraidh é seo: mheall an fhéile níos mó ná 400,000 aoi ar líne. Sáréacht léirithe do na healaíona áitiúla, do Féile agus d’Iarthar Bhéal Feirste ba ea iad. Mar gheall ar na forbairtí ar líne agus digiteacha, is féidir le daoine sult a bhaint as gnéithe den fhéile iontach seo anois, bídís ina gcónaí i mBéal Feirste, ar an Bhaile Mheánach nó i nDún na Séad.

Nothing, however, can truly replace that special atmosphere that we all associate with the live arts. And for our creative sector, which thrives on and which derives so much of its own inspiration from performances in front of live audiences, the pandemic has been particularly challenging. The Arts Council and the Department for Communities have been able to provide a financial lifeline through our Emergency Funding Programmes, to ensure that arts and cultural organisations such as Féile an Phobail can flourish once again, as we finally begin to see the easing of restrictions and the reopening of venues. So we are delighted that we will now – restrictions permitting - be able to enjoy, live and in-person, the likes of the annual concert at Clonard Monastery, the traditional music sessions and the theatre from Brassneck, Bright Yellow Umbrella and Aisling Ghéar. With this year’s excellent blended programme, welcoming back live audiences where possible, alongside lots of great online content, we will hopefully all get to enjoy the best of both worlds. Our special thanks to the organisers at Féile an Phobail – we recognise how difficult it is to plan a programme in these uncertain times. They have worked wonders, and we know you will want to support them, too. On behalf of the Arts Council, the Festival’s long-time principal funder of the main arts content, I wish you all a wonderful August Féile experience.

Roísin McDonough, Chief Executive, Arts Council of Northern Ireland

Níl rud ar bith níos fearr ná an t-atmaisféar speisialta a bhaineann leis na healaíona beo, le fírinne. Bhí an phaindéim an-dúshlánach dár nearnáil chruthaitheach ar breá léi agus a fhaigheann a inspioráid féin ó thaibhithe os comhair lucht féachana bheo. Bhí an Chomhairle Ealaíon agus an Roinn Pobal ábalta airgead tarrthála a sholáthar trínár gCláir Mhaointhe Éigeandála, le cinntiú go mbeidh rath ar na heagraíochtaí ealaíne agus cultúrtha amhail Féile an Phobail arís, agus na srianta á maolú agus na háiteanna á n-athoscailt faoi dheireadh. Tá muid iontach sásta go mbeidh muid ábalta anois– ag brath ar na srianta – sult a bhaint as beo, agus sinne ann go pearsanta ag a leithéid den cheolchoirm bhliantúil i Mainistir Chluain Ard, na seisiúin cheoil thraidisúnta agus an amharclannaíocht ó Brassneck, Bright Yellow Umbrella agus Aisling Ghéar. Tá súil againn go mbeidh muid ábalta sult a bhaint as buntáistí an dá thrá i gclár cumaiscthe iontach na bliana seo, nuair a chuirfidh muid fáilte ar ais roimh na luchtanna féachana, nuair is féidir é, taobh lena lán ábhar iontach ar líne. Gabhaim buíochas mór le heagraithe Féile an Phobail. Aithníonn muid a dheacra agus a bhí sé clár a phleanáil le linn na n-amanna neamhchinnte seo. Tá sárobair déanta acu, agus tá a fhios againn gur mhaith libh tacú leo chomh maith. Ar son na Comhairle Ealaíon, príomh-mhaoinitheoir phríomhábhair ealaíne na Féile le tamall fada, guím go mbeidh eispéireas iontach agaibh go léir ag Féile i mí Lúnasa.

FÉILE’S PROGRAMME FEATURES WORLD CLASS SPORTING EVENTS, MUSIC CONCERTS, DEBATES AND DISCUSSIONS, ART EXHIBITIONS, CARNIVAL PARADES, CHILDREN'S EVENTS AND DRAMA

Tourism NI is pleased to support the 2021 Féile an Phobail August Festival. This unique festival will bring Belfast to life this summer with visitors entertained by a packed programme of diverse, engaging, quality arts, cultural, and sporting events providing an eclectic mix of activity for all to enjoy. Féile’s programme features world class sporting events, music concerts, debates and discussions, art exhibitions, carnival parades, children's events and drama and delivers a wonderful platform to animate the destination this August. This is the 33rd year of the festival and its development in that time has been phenomenal, as it has grown to be one of the biggest community festivals in Europe. Events such as Féile are firmly established within our tourism fabric, attracting a large number of local and international visitors and have been recognised as having an important role in contributing to the economy. Tourism in Northern Ireland is now worth close to £1 billion annually of which over half a billion is generated by visitors from Great Britain and overseas.

Tá áthas ar Tourism NI tacaíocht a thabhairt d’Fhéile Lúnasa Féile an Phobail 2021. Cuirfidh an fhéile uathúil seo brí agus anam i mBéal Feirste an samhradh seo ina gcuirfidh clár lán d’imeachtaí éagsúla, spéisiúla, ealaíon, cultúrtha agus spóirt siamsaíocht ar fáil do chuairteoirí. Beidh meascán gníomhaíochtaí eicléictiúla ann do chách ar féidir leo uilig sult a bhaint astu. I gclár Féile beidh imeachtaí spóirt den chéad scoth, ceolchoirmeacha, ple agus díospóireachtaí, taispeántais ealaíne, paráidí carnabhail, imeachtaí do pháistí agus drámaí. Tabharfaidh an clár seo deis iontach an áit seo a spreagadh i mí Lúnasa na bliana seo. Seo an 33ú bliain den fhéile agus bhí a forbairt le linn na tréimhse ama sin sáriontach, mar tá sé ar cheann de na féilte pobail is mó san Eoraip anois. Is léir go bhfuil imeachtaí amhail Féile inár gcreatlach thurasóireachta mar meallann sí cuid mhór cuairteoirí áitiúla agus idirnáisiúnta agus tá sí aitheanta go bhfuil ról tábhachtach aici sa mhéid a chuireann sí leis an gheilleagar.

I commend the dedication and hard work of Kevin Gamble and his team for the creation and delivery of a high quality and inclusive festival programme.

Is fiú chóir a bheith £1 billiún gach bliain í an turasóireacht i dTuaisceart Éireann. Gintear breis agus leathbhilliún de sin mar gheall ar na cuairteoirí a thagann ón Bhreatain Mhór agus ó thar sáile.

As we anticipate the fantastic festival ahead of us, I wish organisers, sponsors, players and spectators the very best for what I am sure will be another memorable Féile an Phobail festival.

Molaim díograis agus obair dhian Kevin Gamble agus a fhoireann as clár féile ardchaighdeánach cuimsitheach a chruthú agus a eagrú.

John McGrillen, CEO, Tourism NI

Guím gach rath ar na heagraithe, na hurraitheoirí, na himreoirí agus an lucht féachana agus éisteachta, agus sinne ag súil leis an fhéile iontach seo. Tá mé cinnte gur Féile an Phobail speisialta eile a bheidh ann.

OVER THE YEARS, FÉILE HAS GROWN TO BECOME THE LARGEST COMMUNITY ARTS FESTIVAL ON THE ISLAND OF IRELAND... THAT’S SOME ACHIEVEMENT AND ACCOLADE!

Tennent’s NI is proud of its long association with Féile an Phobail. As official pouring partner we look forward to being involved again this year. Respected and acknowledged as Ireland’s largest and most successful community arts festival, Féile an Phobail commands an inspiring position at the heart of West Belfast. The positive impact made by the festival spans an enormous range of cultural, social and economic areas, encouraging communities not only to deepen their appreciation of their own culture, but also to explore others.

Tá Tennent’s NI bródúil as an cheangal fhada atá aige le Féile an Phobail. Mar a páirtnéir deochanna tá mé ag súil le bheith páirteach arís i mbliana. Mar gheall go bhfuil meas uirthi mar, agus go n-aithnítear í mar an fhéile ealaíon pobail is rathúla in Éirinn, tá áit spreagúil aici i gcroílár Iarthar Bhéal Feirste. Cuimsíonn tionchar dearfach na féile réimse ábhar cultúrtha, sóisialta agus geilleagrach a spreagann daoine léirthuiscint níos doimhne a bheith acu ar a gcultúr féin agus cinn eile a fhiosrú.

The festival projects an immensely warm and exciting image of West Belfast as we know it: a vibrant hub of cultural and community animation with a unique sense of place. As always the 2021 programme promises to attract the audiences and we look forward to again enjoying a vibrant and varied showcase of talent. As a major local employer, whose heritage is rooted in West Belfast, Tennent’s NI is delighted to be at the heart of Féile an Phobail, and we look forward to working with the local licensed trade and hospitality sector to enhance the sociability and craic which surround this festival.

Cuireann an fhéile íomhá chairdiúil agus iontach d’Iarthar Bhéal Feirste chun cinn, mar atá a fhios againn air: mol spleodrach de chultúr agus de phobal beoga ina bhfuil meon uathúil áite. Tá an chuma ar chlár 2021 go meallfaidh sí na luchtanna féachana arís agus tá muid ag súil le sult a bhaint as taispeántas beoga agus éagsúil de thallainn. Mar phríomhfhostóir áitiúil a bhfuil a oidhreacht fréamhaithe in Iarthar Bhéal Feirste, tá áthas mór ar Tennent’s NI a bheith ag croílár Féile an Phobail. Tá muid ag súil le bheith ag obair leis an earnáil trádála ceadúnaithe agus fáilteachais áitiúil chun cur leis an suáilceas agus an chraic a bhíonn san fhéile seo.

We are delighted to put ourselves at the heart of Féile again this year and congratulate all those whose creativity, energy and commitment continue to drive the success of the event.

Tá an-áthas orainn sinne a chur ag croílár Féile arís i mbliana agus déanaim comhghairdeas leo uilig a gcuireann a gcruthaitheacht, a bhfuinneamh agus a gcoimitmint i rath an imeachta chun cinn go fóill.

iche bliain ó scríobh sí a leabhar ardmholta, Northern Protestants: An Unsettled People labhair an t-iriseoir, Susan McKay, a bhfuil duaiseanna buaite aici, arís leis na daoine sin ar thug sí a muintir féin othu go míshuaimneach, na daoine sin a bhfuil cúlra Protastúnach acu i dTuaisceart Éireann. Fuair a leabhar nua Northern Protestants: On Shifting Ground, atá bunaithe ar na hagallaimh seo an-léirmheasanna agus ardmholadh é mar ‘léitheoireacht riachtanach’ agus tá an dara clórith á déanamh air cheana féin. Tá géarchéim san aontachtachas, tá Breatimeacht ag croitheadh dúshraitheanna Chomhaontú Aoine an Chéasta, agus tá an chuma ar an scéal go mbeidh vóta ar an teorainn. Beidh sí ag plé na ndaoine a chuir sí faoi agallamh, na ceisteanna a luaigh siad, agus na fáthanna ar chóir éisteacht leis na daoine seo, le Danny Morrison. Labhróidh sí faoin fháth ar tugadh ‘Lundy’ uirthi chomh maith.

wenty years on from her critically acclaimed book, Northern Protestants: An Unsettled People, award-winning journalist Susan McKay talked again to the people she then ‘uneasily’ called ‘her own’, those from a Protestant background in Northern Ireland. Her new Northern Protestants: On Shifting Ground, which is built on these interviews, has received stellar reviews, has been critically acclaimed as ‘vital reading’ and is already in its second print run. With unionism in crisis, Brexit shaking the foundations of the Good Friday Agreement and a border poll looking more and more likely, she joins Danny Morrison to discuss the people she interviewed, the issues they raised, and why these voices need to be heard. She will also talk about being labelled ‘a Lundy’. View on Féile an Phobail website, YouTube and Facebook

D’imigh an Cairdinéal Ó Fiaich ar shlí na fírinne in 1990 agus ainmníodh Cultúrlann McAdam Ó Fiaich, a osclaíodh in 1991, in ómós dó. Sa léacht seo, amharcfaidh an tiriseoir John Cooney ar an spéis mhór a bhí ag an Chairdinéal sa teanga agus ar a thionchar ar chúrsaí polaitíochta anseo sa Tuaisceart. Deánfar an imeacht seo a reachtáil i gcomhar le srianta atá i bhfeidhm ag an am

omás Ó Fiaich was born in Cullyhanna in south Co. Armagh. A noted scholar in the Irish language and with a profound interest in folk lore and history. He became a Cardinal in 1979 and continued to follow his deep interest in Irish and local history, becoming a key figure in the political life in the North as the 'Troubles' continued to unfold. Cardinal Ó Fiaich died in 1990 and Cultúrlann, which opened in 1991, was named in his memory. In this lecture, journalist John Cooney will look at the Cardinal’s keen interest in language and his impact on political affairs here in the north. There will be a limited audience at this event in accordance with guidelines at the time. The event will be simultaneously broadcast via Facebook.com/AnChulturlann.

“GLANADH EITNEACH”,

THE IRISH WARS OF COGADH NA SAOIRSE (1919-23), INDEPENDENCE (1919-23), AND NA LÉAMHA ACADÚLA AIR AGUS ACADEMIC INTERPRETATIONS NA FREAGAIRTÍ ACADÚLA DÓ. AND RESPONSES.

fter 1980, the nationalist struggle for independence in the 1920s was reinterpreted as a sectarian conflict. Presented by academic historians, new evidence confirmed that unremembered, sectarian conflict had raged across southern Ireland leading to the “ethnic cleansing” of Protestants. This panel discusses how and why this new narrative emerged without verifiable evidence. All of the panelists are experts in the field and in their different ways critical of the prevailing historical consensus sometimes known as ‘revisionism’, but perhaps more accurately identified as a counter-insurgency historiography directed against republicanism. Fearghal Mac Bhloscaidh lectures in history at St Mary’s University College, Belfast. Niall Meehan is the Head of Journalism at Griffith College, Barry Keane is a respected teacher of history and published independent scholar and John Regan teaches history at the University of Dundee. This event will be live streamed from Glór na Mona, Gael-Ionad Mhic Ghoill via www.facebook.com/glor.mona and a small number of invited guests will be in attendance

ndiaidh 1980, rinneadh athléamh ar streachailt náisúnaithe ar son na Saoirse sna 1920í mar choimhlint sheicteach. Dhearbhaigh fianaise nua, arna cur i láthair ag staraithe acadúla, gur leath chomhlint sheicteach gan cuimhne uirthi ar fud dheisceart na hÉireann ina ndearnadh “glanadh eiteach” ar Phrotastúnaigh. Pléifidh an painéal an dóigh agus na fáthanna ar tháinig an insint nua seo chun cinn gan fianaise infhíoraithe. Is saineolaithe san ábhar seo iad na painéalaithe go léir agus cáineann siad, ina mbealaí féin, an comhdhearcadh stairiúil coitianta a dtugtar ‘athbhreithniúchas’ air uaireanta, ach tá cur síos níos cruinne air mar staireagrafaíocht fhrithcheannairce dírithe in aghaidh an phoblachtachais, b’fhéidir. Is léachtóir staire é Fearghal Mac Bhloscaidh i gColáiste Ollscoile Naomh Muire, Béal Feirste. Is Ceannasaí na hIriseoireachta é Niall Meehan i gColáiste Griffith. Tá meas ar Barry Keane mar mhúinteoir staire agus múineann an scoláire neamhspleách, John Regan, a bhfuil saothair foilsithe aige, stair in Ollscoil Dhún Dé.

he hunger strikes of 1981 had a huge impact in Ireland, changing the nature of the political landscape up until today. But it may be surprising to hear how the hunger strikes impacted the rest of the world, and still do. Denis O'Hearn discusses how his biography of Bobby Sands, Nothing, but an Unfinished Song, has impacted struggles across the world in the fifteen years since it was published. He tells stories ranging from super maximum-security prisons in the United States, to political prisons in the Basque Country and Turkey, to the struggle for liberation of Rojava, the Kurdish region of northern Syria and Iraq. In all of these instances, the Irish hunger strikers had an enormous and positive impact on struggles for liberation and social justice. Supported by Féile an Phobail’s Debates and Discussion Programme.

ROIBEÁRD Ó SEACHNASAIGH AGUS STAILCEANNA OCRAIS 1981: AG SPREAGADH GO FÓILL. DENIS O’HEARN: I GCOMHRÁ LE SÉANNA WALSH

hí tionchar ollmhór ag na stailceanna ocrais in 1981 ar Éirinn. D’athraigh siad nádúr an tírdhreacha pholaitiúil suas go dtí an lá inniu. D’fhéadfadh sé bheith suimiúil le cluinstin faoin tionchar a bhí agus atá acu go fóill ar an domhan. Pléifidh Denis O'Hearn an dóigh a raibh tionchar ag a bheathaisnéis ar Roibeárd Ó Seachnasaigh, Nothing, but an Unfinished Song, ar streachailtí ar fud an domhain sna cúig bliana déag ó foilsíodh é. Inseoidh sé scéalta faoi phríosúin uasshlándála sna Stáit Aontaithe, faoi phríosúin pholaitiúla i dTír na mBascach agus sa Tuirc, agus faoin streachailt le Rojava, an réigiún Coirdíneach i dtuaisceart na Siria agus na hIaráice, a shaoradh. I ngach cás, bhí tionchar ollmhór agus dearfach ag stailceoirí ocrais na hÉireann ar streachailtí le saoirse agus ceartas sóisialta a bhaint amach.

fter a very turbulent and difficult 18 months, the theme of this year’s Carnival Parade is a ‘celebration of community resilience’. All across our communities, throughout the Covid 19 pandemic, communities responded with a real sense of cohesion, endeavour, care for one another and going that extra mile. Ordinary people, be they our health care staff, teachers, our young people, delivery drivers, supermarket workers, friends and neighbours, pulled together to do what was needed, and really showcased the best attributes of our community, once more demonstrating the resilience and community spirit that we have become famous for. This year’s carnival parade will be awash with colour and culture, and will celebrate the spirit of this community. The parade is open to all organised community, youth, arts, educational & sporting groups and individuals to attend. It is a great opportunity to promote and celebrate your achievements, such as a sporting, community, youth, arts, or dance group, training provider, or even a local business, you are all part of the local community fabric!! Registration essential for participating groups. Deadline for parade registration Friday 30th July 2021. For T&C’s and registration details contact Joe, joe@feilebelfast.com or 02895609984.

ndiaidh 18 mhí an-chorracha agus an-deacra, is é téama Pharáid Charnabhail na bliana seo ná ‘ceiliuradh ar theacht aniar an phobail’. Thug ár bpobail go léir aghaidh ar dhúshlán phaindéim Covid 19 le chéile agus go dícheallach. Thug siad aire dá chéile agus rinne siad iarrachtaí ar leith. Tháinig gnáthdhaoine, bíodh siad ina n-oibrithe cúraim sláinte, múinteoirí, ndaoine óga, dtiománaithe seachadta, n-oibrithe ollmhargaidh, gcairde agus a gcomharsana le chéile leis na rudaí a bhí de dhíth a dhéanamh. Léirigh siad scoth-thréithe ár bpobail, an teacht aniar agus meon an phobail sin as a bhfuil clú agus cáil orainn. Beidh paráid charnabhail na bliana seo lán de dhathanna agus de chultúr, agus beidh muid ag ceiliúradh meon an phobail seo. Tá fáilte roimh ghrúpaí pobail, óige, ealaíon, oideachais agus spóirt eagraithe uilig agus roimh dhaoine aonair freastal ar an pharáid charnabhail.

LEGACY-THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH?

OIDHREACHT-AN FHÍRINNE IOMLÁN AGUS AN FHÍRINNE AMHÁIN?

n the wake of the collapse of the trial of Soldier ‘F’ the Pat Finucane Centre has organised this online discussion with a Bloody Sunday relative and stakeholders from the legal profession and NGOs. London clearly has no interest in human rights or the rule of law. If access to justice is deliberately blocked where does that leave bereaved families and wider society? Organised by Pat Finucane Centre.

ndiaidh na teipe ar thriail an tSaighdiúra ‘F’, beidh an díospóireacht ar líne seo eagraithe ag Ionad Pat Finucane le gaol íospartach Dhomhnach na Fola agus páirtithe leasmhara ón lucht dlí agus ó ENRí. Is léir nach bhfuil suim ag Rialtas na Breataine i Londain i gcearta an duine nó i riail an dlí. Má chuirtear bac ar an rochtain ar cheartas d’aon turas, cá bhfágann sin na teaghlaigh a bhfuil a ndaoine muinteartha leo caillte agus an tsochaí i gcoitinne? Eagraithe ag Ionad Pat Finucane

TROCAIRE THE ‘GUAPINOL 8’: WATER DEFENDERS n Honduras in September 2019, the ‘Guapinol 8’ were detained for peacefully resisting the exploitation of their community’s natural resources by private business interests. A mining company had turned their river to mud. Almost two years later, they remain in pretrial detention. Join Trócaire to hear the latest on the community's campaign for justice and to explore how the case highlights the ways that the state, the courts and big business often work together to criminalise, intimidate and stop the work of environmental and human rights defenders. Organised by Trócaire.

n Hondúras i mí Mheán Fómhair 2019, coinníodh na ‘Guapinol 8’ as cur go síochanta i gcoinne gnóthaí príobháideacha ag dúshaothrú acmhainní nádúrtha a bpobail. D’iompaigh comhlacht mianadóireachta a n-abhainn ina láib. Tá siad á gcoinneáil réamhthrialach go fóill, beagnach dhá bhliain níos moille. Bí le Trócaire le héisteacht leis an scéal is déanaí faoi fheachtas an phobail le haghaidh ceartais agus leis an dóigh a ndíríonn sé aird ar na bealaí a oibríonn an stát agus na gnóthaí móra le chéile go minic le coir a dhéanamh as, imeaglú a chur ar, agus stop a chur le hobair na gcosantóirí timpeallachta agus um chearta an duine.

SLAVERY IN IRELAND REEXAMINED

ATHSCRÚDÚ AR SCLÁBHAÍOCHT IN ÉIRINN

hí agóidí Black Lives Matter mar spreagadh do staraithe athscrúdú a dhéanamh ar an ochtú céad deag – ré na hEagnaíocht, na réabhlóidí sna Stáit Aontaithe agus sa Fhrainc, Éirí Amach 1798 agus ré na trádála sclábhaíochta trasatlantaí chomh maith. D’infheistigh Éireannaigh sa trádáil sclábhaíochta. Tá clú agus cáil ar Jonathan Swift dá Drapier’s Letters tírghrách ach thacaigh sé leis an Asiento – an conradh a sholáthraigh sclábhaithe Afracacha do Mheiriceá Spáinneach. D’fhan Edmund Burke, curadh ar son Fuascailt na gCaitliceach, ina thost faoin sclábhaíocht. Scrúdóidh Ian McBride, fear Ard Mhacha agus Ollamh na Staire Éireannaí in Oxford, na comhbhréagnuithe idir saothair Swift, agus Burke, agus sclábhaíocht thrasatlantach ag dul i bhfeidhm ar an saol in Éirinn ag an am céanna.

he Black Lives Matter protests have encouraged historians to re-examine the eighteenth century – the era of the Enlightenment, the American and French revolutions and the 1798 Rebellion but also the era of the transatlantic slave trade. Irish people invested in the slave trade. Jonathan Swift is best known for his patriotic Drapier’s Letters yet he supported the Asiento - the contract for supplying Spanish America with enslaved Africans. Edmund Burke, a champion of Catholic emancipation, was silent on slavery. Professor of Irish History at Oxford, Armagh man, Ian McBride, explores the contradictions in the writings of Swift, and Burke while transatlantic slavery was reshaping Irish life.

hree years ago, before the opening of the inquest into the Ballymurphy Massacre, the families and survivors told their story in Callum Macrae’s feature documentary, The Ballymurphy Precedent. Now, in acknowledgement of the unequivocal conclusion of that inquest, just three months ago, the film is being reshown. As the film reveals in forensic and devastating detail – and as the inquest has now confirmed - the army version of events was a lie, and the victims were unarmed and “entirely innocent”. But The Ballymurphy Precedent, goes further. It is not just a tribute to the courage and dignity of the families – it also sets the massacre in its context, showing how the British government and its army played a critical role in turning what began as a peaceful civil rights movement into a thirty-year war. And, as the title of the film declares, the massacre in Ballymurphy was part of a pattern, inextricably linked to Bloody Sunday less than six months later.

ri bliana ó shin, roimh oscailt an fhiosrúcháin ar Ár Bhaile Uí Mhurchú, d’inis na teaghlaigh agus na marthanoirí a scéal i scannán faisnéise Callum Macrae, The Ballymurphy Precedent. Anois, mar aitheantas ar chinneadh dobhréagnaithe an fhiosrúcháin sin, trí mhí ó shin, beidh an scannán á athléiriú. Mar a léiríonn an scannán go fóiréinseach agus go mionuafásach, agus mar atá dearbhaithe ag an fhiosrúchán anois, d’inis an tarm bréaga amach is amach, agus bhí na híospartaigh gan airm agus “go hiomlán neamhchiontach”. Téann The Ballymurphy Precedent, céimeanna níos faide ar aghaidh. Ní amháin gurbh ómós do mhisneach agus do dhínit na teaghlach é, leagann sé an t-ár amach ina chomhthéacs. Léiríonn sé an dóigh a raibh ról fíormhór ag Rialtas agus arm na Breataine i gcogadh tríocha bliain a dhéanamh de rud a thosaigh mar ghluaiseacht shíochánta ag iarraidh cearta sibhialta. Mar a dhearbhaíonn teideal an scannáin, bhí an t-ár mar chuid de phatrún a bhí fite fuaite le Domhnach na Fola níos lú ná sé mhí níos moille ina dhiaidh.

ALBIE SACHS IN CONVERSATION WITH PADRAIG Ó MUIRIGH

lbie Sachs, the anti-apartheid activist, human rights lawyer and writer, was appointed by Nelson Mandela to serve on the first Constitutional Court of South Africa in 1994. After twice being detained in South Africa for his anti-apartheid activities in the movement led by the ANC, in 1966 he went into exile in England. Later he moved to Mozambique to work as a Law Professor, where on April 7, 1988 he was blown up by a bomb planted in his car by South African security services. He lost his right arm and vision in one eye. Mr Sachs will discuss his life in the anti-apartheid struggle, his role in drafting the South African Constitution and his 15-year judicial career at the Constitutional Court of South Africa. He will speak about meeting the man who organised the planting of the bomb in his car, and how he developed the concept of soft vengeance. He will also speak about his various visits to Belfast and Dublin and offer some reflections on possible constitutional arrangements embracing all the people who live on the island of Ireland.

ALBIE SACHS I GCOMHRÁ LE PADRAIG Ó MUIRIGH

Coimeádadh san Afraic Theas é faoi dhó mar gheall ar a ghníomhaíochtaí frithchinedheighilte san eagraíocht a raibh an ANC i gceannas uirthi. In 1966 chuaigh sé ar deoraíocht i Sasana. Bhog sé go Mósaimbíc níba mhoille i mí Aibreáin 1988 mar ar oibrigh sé mar Ollamh Dlí agus mar ar phléasc seirbhísí slándála na hAfraice Theas buama sa charr ina raibh sé.

he annual Plastic Bullets Vigil at Groves Reilly Corner is an opportunity to remember those whose lives were cut short by the state’s use of rubber and plastic bullets. The vigil serves as a reminder of the bereaved families’ pursuit of truth and justice in the context of structural state impunity. This year Belfast saw the use of plastic bullets during civil disorder. Plastic bullets have no place in modern policing, and no place in a contested transitional society. The annual plastic bullet vigil is an opportunity to remind policy makers that civil society calls for a total ban on plastic bullets has not gone away. Organised by Relatives for Justice.

If wilderness runs in the family, a trip to the Mournes and Strangford is in order. As an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, you can’t help but be awestruck when standing at the foot of the majestic Mourne Mountains or gazing over the Strangford lakes. Family Foraging Tucked away in these private forests, you’ll find the Finnebrogue Woods School of Bushcraft. Led by expert bushman Rob Hill, with a passion for passing on his outdoor knowledge to all ages, you’ll get hands on with bushcraft survival fundamentals or learn the rules and tools for safely foraging. Which means the next time the kids ask “what’s for dinner”, you can tell them to go fetch something out the back garden! Underwater Adventures Swap forests for fishes with a trip to the Exploris Aquarium in Portaferry. Tickle the belly of a small shark, discover tropical beaches and colourful coral reefs, and see the energetic otters at play with a diver’s view of the wonderful marine life around us. In each zone, you’ll find interactive stations and trivia to fill out your Exploris expedition passport. And for kids up to 8, you won’t want to miss the two-tier soft play area Jiggly Jellies. Mount Stewart House and Gardens Make your way towards the shores of Strangford Lough, and enjoy stunning views over the water with a stop at the beautiful Mount Stewart House and Gardens. As you stroll around the awardwinning gardens, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the playful red squirrels who call this natural wonderland home. If you can, try to time your visit with their rich calendar of seasonal and family events.

Walk the Mournes Before we explore the Mournes, let’s ﬁrst get our bearings. Professional mountain man Peter Rafferty’s Walk the Mournes tour will do just the trick. Peter will take you and your family back to the times when Mourne granite was highly sought after, and the mountains echoed with the sound of handpicks. He captivates you with his stories and legends of local smugglers in their secret caves. With so many stories to tell, it’s easy to see why the Mournes are said to have been the inspiration for C.S. Lewis’ mystical Chronicles of Narnia. Your cosy, comfortable stay Nestled at the foot of the Mourne Mountains, the Slieve Donard Resort and Spa stands in six acres of immaculate private grounds. With one of the world’s premier golf courses just next door, you might be mistaken in thinking a stay in the hotel is for grown-ups only, but nothing could be further from the truth. There’s designated family swim times, spacious family rooms, and even family dining menus in both the resort itself and the Percy French Inn located on-site. And with an epic stretch of beach just a short walk away, there’s no shortage of family-friendly fun whatever the weather. If you’d prefer a cosy cottage stay and the freedom that comes with self-catering, book the family in at either the Kribben Cottages Annalong or Slievemoyle Cottages Downpatrick. Bags packed, are you ready to go? Please note, all attractions and activities featured are operating on a pre-booking basis.

BACK AT LAST! EVEN THOUGH AUDIENCE NUMBERS ARE COVID-RESTRICTED WE WILL FACILITATE OUR LOYAL FANS WITH A LIVE BROADCAST ONLINE VIA FÉILE AN PHOBAIL’S FACEBOOK PAGE.EVENTBRITE TICKET DETAILS: HTTPS://WWW.EVENTBRITE.IE/E/SCRIBES-AT-THE-ROCK-TICKETS163263516573 One of the most exciting and engaging writers to emerge in recent years is Ballymena-born Jan Carson whose books include Malcolm Orange Disappears (2014), Children’s Children (2016), Postcard Stories (2017) and Postcard Stories 2 (2020), the brilliant The Fire Starters (which won the EU Prize for Literature in 2019), and The Last Resort (2021, publ. Doubleday Ireland). Set in an Antrim seaside caravan park The Last Resort examines complex family dynamics, ageing, immigration, gender politics and the decline of the church. The Irish Times described it as a work of great empathy and imagination which ‘has Jan Carson’s hallmark combination of pithy Northern-Irish wit, profoundly imagined characters, spiced with the off-kilter and deliciously mad.’

Former West Belfast MP and subsequently Louth TD Gerry Adams is one of Ireland’s best-known political figures. He was also the founder of Féile an Phobail now in its thirty-third year. Author of a number of non-fiction books and a noted pamphleteer, he is also a published writer of three previous book of short stories. His latest book, Black Mountain & Other Stories (O’Brien Press, 2021), is being launched during Féile. They are stories of love, politics, war and of friendship; portraits of Ireland, and especially Belfast, old and new, in times of struggle and in times of peace, showing how our past is always part of our present. Sometimes sad, sometimes funny, always moving, these are stories of ordinary people captured with wit, with heart and with understanding.

What is there to say about the great phenomena that is Cork’s prolific Tadhg Hickey! He is creative director of the critically-acclaimed comedy troupe, CCCahoots, and wrote, directed and starred in the RTE sitcom, The School. His satiric Brexit video, Loyalism, but in a house share in Cork, clocked up more than one million views online and he is currently working, Brexit, but it’s a house share in Cork—The Musical. His satires take on racism, sexism and homophobia in Ireland, Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians, US imperialism and its ‘War on Terror’ and a range of ‘Histories’ and other videos. Tadhg will talk about his life, the role of a comedian in society and the creative impulse behind his writing. And—he is also not a bad singer! ‘Outstanding physical and comedic performer’ - The Scotsman

Tá Jan Carson, arb as an Bhaile Mheánach di,Jan Carson ar dhuine de na scríbhneoirí is iontaí agus is suimiúla le teacht chun cinn le blianta déanacha anuas. I measc na leabhar atá scríofa aici tá Malcolm Orange Disappears (2014), Children’s Children (2016), Postcard Stories (2017) agus Postcard Stories 2 (2020), an leabhar iontach The Fire Starters (a bhain Duais Litríochta an AE in 2019), agus The Last Resort (2021, foilsitheoir, Doubleday Ireland). Scrúdaíonn The Last Resort an dinimic choimpléascach teaghlaigh, dul in aois, inimirce, polaitíocht inscne agus meath na heaglaise, agus é suite i bpáirc carbhán cois farraige in Aontroim. Rinne The Irish Times cur síos air mar shaothar an-bháúil agus an-samhlaíoch a bhfuil ‘Jan Carson’s hallmark combination of pithy Northern-Irish wit, profoundly imagined characters, spiced with the offkilter and deliciously mad.’ aige.

Tá iarFheisire Parlaiminte Iarthar Bhéal Feirste agus iarTheachta Dála Lú Gerry Adams ar dhuine de na daoine polaitíochta is cáiliúla in Éirinn. Ba bhunaitheoir Féile an Phobail, atá tríocha is trí bliana ar an saol anois, é fosta. B’údar roinnt leabhar neamhfhicsin agus phaimfléadaí aitheanta é. Tá trí leabhar gearrscéalta scríofa aige chomh maith. Beidh an leabhar is déanaí atá scríofa aige, Black Mountain & Other Stories (O’Brien Press, 2021), á sheoladh le linn Féile. Is scéalta faoi ghrá, pholaitíocht, chogadh agus chairdeas, phortráidí d’Éirinn go háirithe de Bhéal Feirste, idir shean agus nua, le linn amanna na streachailte agus na síochána iad, a léiríonn an dóigh a bhfuil an t-am atá caite mar chuid den am sa lá atá inniu. Brónach in amanna, greannmhar in amanna, tochtmhar i gcónaí, is ea iad. Is scéalta faoi ghnáthdhaoine iad ina bhfuil nathaíocht, misneach agus tuiscint.

Cad é is féidir leat a rá faoin fheiniméan iontach bhisiúil Chorcaíoch Tadhg Hickey! Is stiúrthóir cruthaitheach an chompántais choiméide ardmholta, CCCahoots, é agus scríobh sé, stiúir sé agus bhí príomhpháirt aige sa dráma grinn suíomh The School ar RTÉ. Amharcadh ar a fhíseán aorach ar Bhreatimeacht, Loyalism, but in a house share in Cork, breis agus milliún uair ar líne agus tá sé ag obair ar Brexit, but it’s a house share in Cork—The Musical faoi láthair. Tugann a aortha faoi chiníochas, ghnéasachas, homafóibe in Eirinn, an dóigh a gcaitheann Iosrael leis na Palaistínigh, impriúlachas na SA agus ‘a Chogadh in aghaidh na Sceimhlitheoireachta’ agus réimse ‘Startha’ agus fhíseáin eile. Labhróidh Tadhg faoina shaol, ról an fhuirseora sa tsochaí agus faoin spreagadh chruthaitheach atá taobh thiar dá chuid scríbhneoireachta. Agus—ní drochamhránaí é chomh maith! ‘Outstanding physical and comedic performer’ - The Scotsman

Scannán faisnéise atá ann a iniúchann saol an Athair Des Wilson, sagart a raibh dearcadh sóisialach aige, a shíl gur ghá dó scor de cliarlathas na hEaglaise le dul ar an bhealach chéanna agus a chuaigh Íosa. I mBéal Feirste le linn na dtrioblóidí, chuaigh sé i mbun oibre i bpobal a raibh cuidiú de dhíth air. Bhí sé ina chónaí agus d’oibrigh sé ansin ó 1969 ar aghaidh. Fear éachtach i dtosca neamhghnácha ba ea é. Stiúrthóir: Vincent Kinnaird / 80 nóiméad / 2021 https://belfastyearround.eventive.org/schedule/60d482d98 596ee0063ef7c1c

TOM HARTLEY’S WALKING TOUR OF BELFAST CITY CEMETERY MEET: MAIN GATE OF BELFAST CITY CEMETERY

SPORT AND PARTITION: PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE

r Katie Liston, senior lecturer at Ulster University, will explore what role has sport played, and continues to play, in the nature and meaning of identity on the island of Ireland, for unionists and loyalists as well as northern and southern nationalist responses to the yet unknown future. This question is important because, in sport, we are probably dealing with one of the most powerful transfer mechanisms for culture ever known to humankind. This talk explores the proximate impact of partition on sport in the 1920s and traces the consequences of this over the twentieth century, through the lens of the Olympic movement and track and field athletics. Drawing on original archival research and on interviews with current and former sports administrators, it will also consider the challenges for reconciled relationships and mutual understanding. Supported by Féile an Phobail’s Debates and Discussion Programme. View on Féile an Phobail website, YouTube and Facebook

SPÓRT AGUS CRÍOCHDHEIGHILT: SAN AM ATÁ CAITE, FAOI LÁTHAIR, SA TODHCHAÍ

léifidh an Dr. Katie Liston, léachtóir sinsearach in Ollscoil Uladh, an ról a bhí agus atá ag spórt i nádúr agus i gciall na féiniúlachta ar oileán na hÉireann, d’aontachtaithe agus do dhílseoirí móide freagraí náisiúnaithe tuaisceartacha agus deisceartacha faoi thodhchaí anaithnid. Tá an cheist seo tábhachtach mar, i spórt, is dócha go bhfuil muid ag déileáil le ceann de na meicníochtaí aistrithe is cumhachtaí do chultúr dá raibh a fhios ag an chine dhaonna riamh. Pléifidh an chaint seo garéifeacht na críochdheighilte ar spórt sna 1920í agus rianóidh sí na hiarmhairtí di seo san fhichiú céad, trí lionsa na gluaiseachta Oilimpí agus na lúthchleasaíochta raoin agus faiche. Déanfaidh sí machnamh ar na dúshláin do chaidrimh réitithe agus do chomhthuisceana fosta, agus í ag tarraingt ar bhuntaighde cartlainne agus ar agallaimh le riarthóirí reatha agus iar-riarthóirí spóirt.

Breaking the Generations: Palestinian prisoners and medical rights (27mins) Features interviews with former detainees, their families and legal and health experts, and addresses several key human rights and humanitarian issues faced by Palestinian prisoners.

Scars of Freedom (24mins) - The experience of arrest, interrogation and life in captivity carries political, economic and social dimensions that have a great impact on the Palestinian people, since the beginning of the occupation to the present day.

Detaining Dreams (22 nóiméad)- In Detaining Dreams tá scéalta ann faoi cheathrar páistí Palaistíneacha ar ghabh fórsaí Iosraelacha orthu sa Bhruach Thiar faoi Fhorghabháil agus a ionchúisíodh sa chóras coinneála míleata Iosraelach. On uair a ghabhtar iad, tugann na fórsaí Iosraelacha drochíde dóibh agus céasann siad iad.

Breaking the Generations: Palestinian prisoners and medical rights (27 nóiméad) – Sa scannán seo tá agallaimh le daoine a coinníodh, lena dteaghlaigh chomh maith le saineolaithe dlí agus sláinte, agus tugann sé faoin roinnt mhaith príomhcheisteanna um chearta an duine agus daonnúla atá ag príosúnaigh Phalaistíneacha.

Jeremy Hardy Vs The Israeli Army (76mins) - When comedian Jeremy Hardy is asked to visit Palestine and do his bit to solve the world's longest running conflict, facing the world's fourth biggest military power is not his idea of a holiday.

No Direction Home - This film tells the story of four generations of Palestinians dispossessed of their land in 1948 and consigned to the life of a refugee ever since. The film was made in two Palestinian refugee camps in Beirut in which different generations tell their story.

Jenin Jenin (55mins) - Directed and coproduced by Palestinian actor Mohammad Bakri, Jenin Jenin includes testimony from Jenin residents after the Israeli army's Defensive Wall operation. The city and camp were the scenes of fierce fighting which ended with Jenin flattened and scores of Palestinians dead.

Jeremy Hardy Vs The Israeli Army (76 nóiméad) – Nuair a iarradh ar an fhuirseoir Jeremy Hardy cuairt a thabhairt ar an Phalaistín agus a dhícheall a dhéanamh an choimhlint is faide ar an domhan a réiteach, níl sé ar a laethanta saoire, agus é ag tabhairt aghaidhe ar an cheathrú cumhacht mhíleata is mó ar an domhan.

No Direction Home – Insíonn an scannán seo scéal cheithre ghlúin de Phalaistínigh ar cuireadh as seilbh a gcuid talaimh iad agus a fágadh mar dhídeanaithe ó shin. Bhí an scannán seo déanta in dhá champa dídeanaithe Palaistíneacha i mBéiriút ina ninsíonn na glúnta éagsúla a scéal.

Bhí trodaíocht fhíochmhar sa chathair agus sa champa agus ina diaidh bhí Jenin scriosta agus na scórtha Palaistíneach marbh.

A project designed by families who wish to remember their loved ones lost through the conflict by dedicating a square to the memory of their loved one. Each quilt represents forty-nine victims and there are ten quilts in total. Each square represents the enormity of loss and enduring pain felt by families from all backgrounds who’s loved ones were killed by all actors in the conflict. These quilts took time to put together as we worked with families in a non-judgemental way to place each stitch as a loving testimony to a lived life.
