“This film [is] about Mairéad and Christine and their reality in Belfast years into the so-called peace process, on different sides of the division. Capturing moments of their life, as they get on with things in the shadows of the walls, and their unfolding stories of how they choose not to give in to the norm they are supposed to follow.” - Malin Andersson, Swedish director of Belfast Girls, June 2006

The screening will be followed by a discussion led by Dr Gul Kacmaz Erk, senior lecturer in Architecture at Queen's University, with guests Malin Andersson, director of Belfast Girls, and Clare Mulholland, Queen's Architecture.
