King Street Arts

Welcome back to the Movies and Music cinema nights at King Street Arts.
This time we are doing a ‘BELFAST made’ night with two short documentaries and a short drama taking you through our city from the bare feet settlers of ancient times to the cranes hovering over our heads today. Oh, yes, and not to forget, a short but important message from John : Watch your back…
True to form we’ll keep you entertained with great music after the film while you sit back and enjoy the rest your wine. Aaron Shanley is dropping in to show us what he’s got. A young singer songwriter with a few stories to tell I’m sure he’ll leave you impressed.
I’m looking forward to this myself, and I hope you’ll come and join me.

General News 25 August 2009

King Street Arts’ cinema nights run on a monthly basis: 27th Aug, 24th Sept, 29th Oct and 26th Nov, from 8.30pm to late.  They show 30-45 mins of short films followed by an acoustic gig by local artists. The nights have gained more and more popularity and it has been decided to keep them running for another year.

King Street Arts are now looking for short films, documentaries and animations for this season and are happy to give any local producer/director screen space. If you are interested please contact Sophie on sophie@kingstreetarts.com

Over the past year short dramas by local talents, short documentaries by international students and animations for grown-ups have been showcased. The second half of the nights are always dedicated to acoustic gigs by local artists such as guitarist Colin Reid, The Jahm Band, Street poet Acoustic Dan, Seamus Fox spoken word, Joby Fox singer song-writer and The Sons of Robert Mitchum.

Thursday 27th Aug is the first of a new season of Cinema Nights. Ryan Tohill will show his latest film Recollection, Cathy Edwards’ animation Axolotl and a few classic cartoons to start the season off lightly. In the second half The Sons of Robert Mitchum are back by demand and will play a semi-acoustic gig with their superbly written songs.

The Cinema Nights are not-for-profit. All the money goes towards hire of the hall and the artists.
