Here are a few more Northern films to enjoy, available via the Internet, DVD, or if you’re lucky to catch them at the right time, a showing at the Queen’s Film Theatre in Belfast.

Cherrybomb (2009)

Released on DVD in the UK and soon to be released in the United States, Cherrybomb is young modern Belfast at its most accidental-chic. In crime noir style, this sometimes harrowing, sometimes beautiful film was written by Daragh Carville (Middletown) and co-directed by Lisa Barros D’Sa and Glenn Leyburn.

The nights are drawing in now as we approach the shortest day of the year, the clocks have gone back to their winter time setting, and the annual battle against the clock and the weather to get the harvest in, before the rains arrive, is over for another year.  Our dry and parched landscape has once again got its carpet of green liberally sprinkled with the multi-coloured leaves of autumn.
