Belfast is a poignant one–a comedy-drama of love, laughter and loss in one boy’s childhood amid the music and social tumult of the late 1960s, written and directed by Kenneth Branagh.

Buddy’s family lives in a largely Protestant district with a few Catholic families, but one day his community and everything he thought he understood about life is suddenly turned upside down. His family gets caught in the mayhem and must decide to stay or leave the only place they have ever called home. Through it all, his passionate parents Caitríona Balfe and Jamie Dornan) and quick-witted grandparents (Judi Dench and Ciarán Hinds) keep the joy alive through music and the magic of movies in this feel-good story that reminds us that no matter how far you go, you never forget where you came from.

Also featuring rising star Jude Hill in his feature film debut, Belfast has been nominated for over 195 awards to-date including 11 Critic’s Choice Awards and a total of 13 Best Picture nominations as well as PGA and DGA Awards nominations for Branagh.
