Murphy’s view of Belfast
The problems of Northern Ireland are seen from a different perspective in “Maeve,” which will be screened by the Canterbury Film Society next week. Although set in Belfast, “Maeve” is not a documentary or an attempt at a direct political intervention. It is more discursive, encompassing Irish history, myth and memory as they affect the present. Centring on Maeve, a young feminist who returns home from London, the film explores her relationships with her Catholic family and Republican former boyfriend, Liam. The scenes between the film’s characters sometimes take place in the present context of Maeve’s visit, sometimes in her memory, but all draw on the experience of the film maker, Pat Murphy, a former Royal College of Art student. “Maeve” will be screened at University Room Al, Ham, on Tuesday, and the Museum Theatrette, Rolleston Avenue, on Wednesday, both at 7.30 p.m. Membership may be bought at the door, and the public is welcorpe for a nominal entrance donation. /
