Edward Daly

Chapter and Verse is an experimental documentary that traces the image legacy of Northern Ireland's recent troubles via its contemporary landscapes. The camera roves with fierce curiosity amongst the Orange Order Parades, the raging 11th Night Bonfires of Belfast, the wall paintings of Londonderry, empty border-lands, murder-sites, cemeteries, home interiors, town and city streets whilst exploring how the troubles are both revealed and concealed by the Northern Irish landscape. Interviews with a mix of Northern Irish politicians, religious figures and victims of the troubles, including Rev. Ian Paisley and Bishop Emeritus of 'Derry Edward Daly, combine in a cinematic study of the complex effects of Northern Ireland's conflict history suspended in language.

En dix chapitres, ce documentaire retrace les grandes étapes du conflit nord-irlandais à travers le regard de photographes de presse locaux qui ont vécu et immortalisé cette époque dramatique. Les événements politiques qui ont bouleversé leur pays et la ville de Belfast les ont transformés en reporters de guerre.
