  1. Film Screening: Ireland Behind The Wire - Berwick Street Collective 1974

    The New Theatre, Thursday, February 12 at 06:30 PM GMT

    Film Screening: Ireland: Behind The Wire (1974) - Berwick Street Collective:


    "Unlike their counterparts in mainstream TV news, the investigative Berwick Street Film Collective were given exclusive access to Belfast's Catholic community. The testimonies and footage of life 'behind the wire' that they captured amounts to a grim but arresting picture of Northern Ireland at the height of The Troubles. Ireland - Behind the Wire is a now regarded as a landmark of the 1970s oppositional cinema movement.


    As well as using film to convey alternative viewpoints to those aired via established news channels, the Collective embraced formal experiment, perhaps influenced by the work of Jean Luc Godard and Chris Marker. The film signalled the beginning of what is often called the reflexive tradition in documentary film in the UK. It may seem surprising that the BFI Experimental Fund committed state funds to a film that so outspokenly opposed government policies and practices. One of the Collective's founding members, Marc Karlin, later revealed that the Special Branch seized some of their original footage and the Ministry of Defence pressurised ACTT, the film technicians' union, into erasing some of the frames."

  6. Free Derry (Irish: Saor Dhoire) was a self-declared autonomous Irish nationalist area of Derry, Northern Ireland that existed between 1969 and 1972 during the Troubles. The civil rights movement highlighted the sectarianism and police brutality of the overwhelmingly Protestant police force, the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC).

  9. "The battle of the Bogside was an important catalyst for change, triggering a determined British government intervention that ended the unionist monopoly on power. But it also marked the beginning of 30 years of violent conflict that would claim the lives of more than 3,600 people and bring untold suffering."

  19. On the 31 July 1972 Operation Motorman began. The British Army invaded No-Go areas sending 21,000 soldiers, with tanks and bulldozers, into working-class nationalist areas across the north including Free Derry. The IRA, aware that they weren’t ready for a pitched battle with such a force, had left the No Go areas, so no real resistance was offered. 1/2
