A letter to Lia
A creative rumination on the identity of children growing up in a changing Northern Ireland from the starting point of the filmmaker’s own daughter. The focus is on a young girl, Lia, born long after the Good Friday Agreement, who questions what does the conflict mean to immigrants who have chosen to live in Northern Ireland the Good Friday.
The Breadwinner
In the 1990s, author and activist Deborah Ellis travelled to Pakistan to help people in Afghan refugee camps. During that time, she began to interview and record the stories of women in the camps. These stories became the basis and inspiration for the 2017 animated film The Breadwinner.
Both films shown in Omagh Strule Arts Centre on the evening of the 18th September 2024.
