To Belfast - A short film about a city

Another video blog entry, a set of maps detailing the development of Belfast set to some music and poetry which illustrates my bitter-sweet relationship with the city along with the difficulty of maps for representation.



Music - 'Going to Your Funeral prt2' by The Eels, taken from the album 'Electro-Shock Blues'

Words - 'To Belfast' by Alan Gillis, taken from the book 'Somebody, Somewhere.' Please see previous 
 post (http://passoverinsilence.blogspot.com/2013/01/for-belfast-alan-gillis_24.html) for  words.
