Belfast Film Festival 2014 is well under way. There’s some pretty interesting events on this month so we thought we’d give you the low down on what’s going on. Here’s our top picks for August! For more details, to book tickets and more click here.
Miami Connection (120 mins)
THURSDAY, 14 AUG 2014 – 9:30PM
Described as “the greatest movie from 1987 you’ve never seen (but need to)”, Miami Connection has ninjas, motor cycles and martial arts so what more could you want? How about all these things being shown on a big screen on the rooftop of the Oh Yeah Centre? Well your dreams are about to come true!
The Warriors underneath the flyover (93 mins)
SATURDAY, 16 AUG 2014 – 8:00PM
This is the one that everyone’s talking about. 70’s teen classic, The Warriors was made back in the glory days of film making, where 90 minutes was the holy grail of running times. The film will be screened under the M3 flyover at the Corporation Street car park in all of its dystopian glory. The screening starts at 9.30pm and there promises to be oil drums set alight, a funk-proto-rap party and spot prizes for the best outfit and even the best gang! There will be free parking and bring your own refreshments to make a night of it!
Casablanca (102 mins)
THURSDAY, 21 AUG 2014 – 8:30PM
This classic tale of an old school love-triangle set against the backdrop of wartime conflict is sure to be a hit at this year’s festival. The screening is in The Walled Garden, Ward Park in Bangor and tickets are £10 including a complimentary Singapore Sling to help set the scene. Very fancy indeed. Here’s lookin’ at you, kid.
Mamma Mia! (109 mins)
FRIDAY, 22 AUG 2014 – 8:30PM
Grab your gal friends and get on down the The Walled Garden, Ward Park in Bangor for the night of your life. If you love ABBA, Colin Firth and Meryl Streep (and who doesn’t…) then this is the film for you. Based on the hit musical, based on the hit music of hit Swedish supergroup ABBA, Mamma Mia! tells the story of a wedding on a Greek isle tediously linked together with ABBA’s music. What has ABBA got to do with anything you may ask? But hey it doesn’t really matter! Who doesn’t love-a-sing a long? Tickets are £10 and include a complimentary cocktail, so what could go wrong?
