“Ireland on the Map celebrates our history of cinema and how we have proudly welcomed many stars to our country. As a training actor I have a particular interest in theatre and Northern Ireland’s growing film industry, I wanted to show where we started in the hopes of highlighting the progress we have made and to look at the potential for the future. We may be a small spec on the map but we have a passion for theatre, cinema and all things creative.” Text by Holly Fusco

Over a 5 week programme, a group of participants delved deep into the riches of Ulster Museum’s collection and Northern Ireland Screen’s Digital Film Archive exploring them through the medium of creative writing. Amy McCloy, Holly Fusco, Natalie Cole and Ryan McAllister created new cine-poetry using the Digital Film Archive and digital skills taught by RRR's Digital Engagement Officer Stephen O'Hagan.
