Set in 1980s Belfast, An Everlasting Piece follows a Catholic and a Protestant who form an unlikely partnership in a wig-making business. Barry McEvoy plays Colm, who cuts hair in a psychiatric hospital, where he meets The Scalper (Billy Connolly), a crazed Scot, who ran a toupee monopoly in Northern Ireland before losing it after attacking his customers. Colm and his pal George (Brian F. O'Byrne) use The Scalper's contacts to take over the franchise but then a rival firm moves in and a sales battle ensues.

The screening will be followed by a discussion led by Dr Gul Kacmaz Erk, senior lecturer in Architecture at Queen’s University and will include Dr Sibel Ozkan, former visiting researcher, QUB Mitchell Institute and Ece Sila Bora, Marie Curie researcher, QUB Architecture.

This event is part of CACity presents: Walled Cities 6, a short film season exploring political conflict in divided communities and walled cities around the world. Presented by CACity (Cinema and Architecture in the City) Collaborative Research Group, it is organised by Gul Kacmaz Erk and Marie Curie researcher Ece Sila Bora.
