Willie Doherty: Ghost Stories
26th March 2010 - 1st April 2010
QFT have proudly teamed up with internationally renowned visual artist Willie Doherty on a series of screenings to coincide with the return of the Ulster Museum's permanent collection featuring the exhibition of his haunting video piece, Ghost Story (2007).
This personally curated season of films expresses different areas of influence on Doherty's practice, including themes of surveillance, paranoia, the effects of the ‘Troubles', intrusions on private moments, and psychological responses to trauma. Much like the artist's own work, his chosen films will make us ask, is the audience really so distinguishable from those behind the CCTV cameras?

National Theatre Live
22nd April 2010 - 22nd April 2010
Following on from NT Live's international sell-out screenings of Phèdre with Helen Mirren, this is an exciting opportunity for Belfast audiences to see a top theatre production direct from London in an innovative and accessible new way.
The Habit of Art by Alan Bennett:
Alan Bennett's new play is as much about the theatre as it is about poetry or music. It looks at the unsettling desires of two difficult men, and at the ethics of biography. It reflects on growing old, on creativity and inspiration, and on persisting when all passion's spent: ultimately, on the habit of art.
5 STARS "Another absolute cracker, often wonderfully and sometimes filthily funny, but also deeply and unexpectedly moving." Daily Telegraph
5 STARS "Bennett the maestro returns with a multi-layered masterpiece." Independent
