More hope. Six short films extricated from the undergrowth of the cold open series. The unfinished work was shot across 2007 to 2008, around Hopefield Avenue and the Waterworks in north Belfast, another “garden for the gardenless” much like Waterlow Park. And less. And more.
Exhibition title and included film are eponymous to the song from Robyn G Shiels‘ debut album ‘A Lifetime of Midnights’ – No Dancing Records, Belfast. January 1, 2008.
