Hear My Voice
A film marking the 20th anniversary of the Good Friday agreement inspired by artist Colin Davidson's elegiac exhibition, Silent Testimony.
A cinematic tribute to those who suffered loss as a result of the Northern Irish conflict (1968-1998, timed to mark the 20th anniversary of the Good Friday agreement that brought violence to an end, and based on artist Colin Davidson’s elegiac exhibition of paintings, Silent Testimony.
When Davidson began working on his signature portraits, he became increasingly preoccupied with his sitters' status as human beings, and
each of the portrait sitters are linked by profound loss, with their own unique story to tell. Their common humanity is captured in the understated expression each of them shares.
The documentary breathes cinematic life into the stories of the people featured in Silent Testimony and is centred around a special hanging of the exhibition in a former ironworks building in Belfast City Centre, Riddel’s Warehouse
