    Media Contacts: For Immediate Release Brooks Addicott, 435.658.3456 December 3, 2008 [email protected] Amy McGee, 310.492.2333 [email protected] 2009 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES FILMS IN COMPETITION Festival Celebrates 25 Years of Independent Filmmaking and Cinematic Storytelling Park City, UT—Sundance Institute announced today the lineup of films selected to screen in the U.S. and World Cinema Dramatic and Documentary Competitions for the 25th Sundance Film Festival.

The 2009 Sundance Film Festival runs January 15-25 in Park City, Salt Lake City, Ogden, and Sundance, Utah. The complete list of films is available at www.sundance.org/festival. "This year's films are not narrowly defined. Instead we have a blurring of genres, a crossing of boundaries: geographic, generational, socio-economic and the like," said Geoffrey Gilmore, Director, Sundance Film Festival. "The result is both an exhilarating and emotive Festival in which traditional mythologies are suspended, discoveries are made, and creative storytelling is embraced." "Audiences may be surprised by how much emotion this year's films evoke," said John Cooper, Director of Programming, Sundance Film Festival. "We are seeing the next evolution of the independent film movement where films focus on storytelling with a sense of connection and purpose." For the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, 118 feature-length films were selected including 88 world premieres, 18 North American premieres, and 4 U.S. premieres representing 21 countries with 42 first-time filmmakers, including 28 in competition.

Sep. 2021 ‘Absent and yet Somehow Present’: Idealized Landscapes and the Counter-historical Impulse in Contemporary Northern Irish Photography and Writing Stefanie Lehner This article explores how three artists are responding to the idealized landscape that is contemporary Northern Ireland. I argue that the rural/urban dichotomy which implicitly or explicitly forms a point of departure in the photographic collections of David Farrell’s Innocent Landscapes (2001) and John Duncan’s Trees from Germany (2003) is also evident in David Park’s 2008 novel, The Truth Commissioner, offering a new lens to explore the play of absences and presences that constitute the peace process.

    Dr. Phil Metres, Office: OC219 Phone: 216-397-4528 [email protected] PJHR 375/51 Peace-Building and Conflict Transformation: Narrating Northern Ireland 2013 Dr. Philip Metres, professor of record Dr. Richard Clark, Peace, Justice and Human Rights Director Dr. John Spencer, Theology and Religious Studies Course Description and Goals: This course is designed to explore the dynamics of conflict and peacemaking at work in Northern Ireland. We will examine the historical and cultural roots of conflict from a multidisciplinary approach by reading histories, cultural studies, literary narratives, and film. While we will estab- lish a background for how and why these conflicts persisted, we will focus on gaining skills nec- essary to do the courageous but difficult work of peace-building, conflict transformation, recon- ciliation, and social restoration. We take as our inspiration the call for a well-educated solidarity, in which we pose the question, “How can we live together in this time and place?” The goals of the course will include interdisciplinary analysis of subjects, critical thinking, experiential learning, problem solving, active learning, and articulation of ideas and concepts. Our in-class sessions at John Carroll will be run as a seminar, which means that a critical portion of the class will be provided by student-focused contributions. As a result, it is exceedingly important that you prepare for each class, complete the appropriate readings, and reflect on those readings before class begins. Please bring all reading materials to every class. We will take advantage of our presence in Northern Ireland in two ways. We will frequently call upon local officials and experts to speak to the class.

  • Northern Ireland
    Communications Market Report: Northern Ireland Research Document Publication date: 19 August 2010 Introduction This is Ofcom’s fifth annual review of communications markets in Northern Ireland. The report offers a detailed overview of Northern Ireland’s communications services, compares their take-up and use within different parts of Northern Ireland, and explores the contrasts with other UK nations. The story of Northern Ireland’s communications market in 2009 begins with relatively high levels of take-up of a range of communications services. Nearly nine in ten people (88%) claimed to have a mobile handset in Q1 2010 – putting Northern Ireland on a par with the UK average. 2G mobile signal covers 89% of the population of Northern Ireland (the UK figure is 97%). Higher-speed 3G mobile, which is available to 91% of the UK population, covers 40% of people in Northern Ireland. 70% claim to have broadband in Northern Ireland, up by six percentage points in a year and close to the UK average (71%). Cable broadband is available to 30% of homes in Northern Ireland, compared to the UK-wide figure of 48%. And 100% of fixed exchanges are capable of supporting broadband. But we know that even then, the fixed broadband speeds experienced by consumers depend on a variety of factors. These include the length of the line from the exchange to a customer’s premises, and the number of people connected to a single exchange that are logged on to the internet concurrently. As competition between communications providers intensifies, a growing proportion of homes are taking services in bundles of two or more.

  • To Change the Script. Alan Mcbride, Gerry
    philip metres To Change the Script Alan McBride, Gerry Adams, and Five Minutes of Heaven here are two northern irelands, ” Alan McBride “Tsays, after we’ve settled into our seats in the main room at the WAVE Trauma Centre, welcomed with the customary tea and cookies. Recently, he says, at an event for visiting business leaders, he sat through a fantastical promotional video of Northern Ireland. It featured a sunny Northern Ireland (they must have filmed on the one sunny day that year), horses running along a beautiful beach, a scene from the gorgeous Crown Bar, testimonies from Rory McIlroy and other white-toothed celebrities, and dazzling drone-height images of the Titanic Centre. As the lights went up after the video, he turned to someone and joked, “I would love to go there on holiday.” But there’s another Northern Ireland, and that’s why we’re here to talk with McBride. We’ve come from our university in the United States to study the country’s long road to peace, one that began in the midst of the Troubles, that thirty-year period of civil strife, terrorism, revolutionary violence, and sectarianism that led to the deaths of 4,000 people and hundreds of thousands of victims. McBride is one of them — or was a victim. Can one stop being a victim? He’s dressed in a maroon pullover and blue oxford shirt, his sandy blond hair ceding to gray, blue-green eyes a bit tired behind thick brown glasses, a light beard around his jaw. Mostly, he passes as a well-adjusted denizen of the inter- national middle class.

  • From Rage to Reconciliation
    From rage to reconciliation The portrayal of Northern Ireland’s Troubles in Oliver Hirschbiegel’s Five Minutes of Heaven Valtteri Väyrynen Bachelor’s seminar and thesis (682285A) English Philology Faculty of Humanities University of Oulu 14 December 2016 Abstract/Abstrakti This study examines the portrayal of Northern Ireland’s Troubles in the 2008 docudrama film Five Minutes of Heaven by Oliver Hirschbiegel. The study’s goals were to determine if the film manifests any kind of bias against Northern Ireland’s Catholics/republicans or Protestants/loyalists, and how the film relates to earlier Troubles films and their conventions. The film was analysed on the levels of content and style, with focus being divided mainly between the film’s main characters and its use of documentary film techniques. Scholarly literature dealing with earlier Troubles cinema was consulted for the purpose of comparing the film to its predecessors. The study’s findings suggest that Five Minutes of Heaven portrays the Troubles with exceptional neutrality and authenticity. Tässä tutkielmassa tarkastellaan, kuinka Pohjois-Irlannin konflikti on esitetty Oliver Hirschbiegelin vuoden 2008 dokudraamaelokuvassa Five Minutes of Heaven. Tutkielmassa selvitetään, onko elokuvassa nähtävissä puolueellisuutta Pohjois-Irlannin katolilaisia/republikaaneja tai protestantteja/lojalisteja vastaan, sekä lisäksi arvioidaan elokuvan suhdetta aiempiin konfliktista kertoviin elokuviin ja niiden konventioihin. Elokuvaa on tutkielmassa analysoitu sekä sisällön että tyylin kannalta keskittyen
