As this year's guest programmers, Array Collective have chosen to screen Born in Flames, a 1983 American docufiction drama directed, produced and co-written by radical intersectional feminist Lizzie Borden. The film explores racism, classism, sexism and heterosexism in an alternate socialist democratic United States.

Born in Flames will be preceded by Array Collective's short film An Mór-Ríoghain (The Morrigan), featuring material courtesy of Northern Ireland Screen’s Digital Film Archive and music by Dani Larkin. Filmed in London in 2019 during the campaign to decriminalize abortion in Northern Ireland.

Array Collective are a group of eleven Belfast-based artists and activists. Together, they create collaborative actions in response to the sociopolitical issues affecting Northern Ireland. In 2021, they became the first artists from the north of Ireland to win the Turner Prize.

Following the screening, guests will be invited to the Moot Court Room in the School of Law for a discussion on the film's themes with Array Collective's Emma Campbell, Laura O'Connor and Dr Alessia Cargnelli, hosted by Professor Aoife O’Donoghue. The evening will conclude with a reception in the School of Law.

Law on Film is a new annual collaboration between Queen's University Belfast School of Law and QFT. The Law on Film project directors are School of Law staff members, Norah Burns, Marisa McVey and Richard Summerville.

This event is supported by Film Hub NI through the BFI FAN Film Exhibition Fund, awarding funds from The National Lottery.
