The Livingston Film Series presents the coming-of-age drama Belfast at 7pm on Thursday, November 10th in the Dulcie Theatre at the Shane Lalani Center for the Arts.
Written and directed by Kenneth Branagh, Belfast is a semi-autobiographical film which chronicles the life of a working-class family and their young son’s childhood during the tumult of the late 1960s in Northern Ireland’s capital. A nine-year-old boy must chart a path towards adulthood through a world that has suddenly turned upside down. His stable and loving community and everything he thought he understood about life is changed forever, but joy, laughter, music and the formative magic of the movies remain.
This is the Livingston Film Series’ sixth season of screening independent features, documentaries, local films and vintage classics – absolutely free – on the second Thursday of every month in the Dulcie Theatre at the Shane Lalani Center for the Arts. Concessions are available before the show. UV air filtration in the theater and lobby.
Doors open at 6:30pm, with the screening to follow at 7pm. Admission is free, but donations are gratefully accepted. Visit www.theshanecenter.org for more information. The Livingston Film Series is generously sponsored by Marilyn Clotz & Mary Ann Bearden and Donald B. Gimbel. •
