People from across Belfast and
beyond are being invited to be part of an exciting filming project, set to be
unveiled at this year’s Culture Night.
Up to 2,000 volunteers are being
sought to take part in the special filmed project, which will take place in the
Titanic Quarter at lunchtime on Wednesday 12 September.
Led by Belfast City Council, in
partnership with a wide range of city partners, the special event will shine
the spotlight on Belfast and the many and varied people that make our city
great.
Organisers are keeping their cards
close to their chest for now but promise that it will be an energetic event,
which will produce a short film to highlight the ‘energy of our city and the
diversity of its people, creating a real sense of civic pride.’
Lord Mayor of Belfast, Councillor Deirdre Hargey, said: “This is a really fun project and a great
opportunity for people from right across Belfast to be part of – we’ll even
throw in a free lunch.
“We
don’t want to give too much away at the minute because we’re trying to keep it
under wraps until Culture Night, but it will be a fantastic experience for
those taking part and a real talking point.”
She added: “What I can say is, this will be a really positive way of profiling our
city and I’m really excited to see the finished project, which will be shown as
part of Culture Night in September.”
People from right across the city
including, businesses, schools, community groups, youth organisations, sports
teams and visitors to Belfast are all being encouraged to take part and to find
out more by registering their interest by emailing tellmemore@belfastcity.gov.uk
Susan Picken from Culture Night said: “This is an incredibly exciting project and we are looking forward
to unveiling the results at this year’s Culture Night.”
