Interfaces

"Before I built a wall I'd ask to know what I was walling in or walling out"

For the next four weeks, Northern Visions will be profiling a series of television programmes looking at the Interfaces in Belfast. The series was initiated with the Belfast Interface Project in the summer of 2007 and research and consultation began in early August to discover the key issues which interface groups felt should be highlighted. Filmed over two months, Northern Visions interviewed 48 people from a wide range of community groups, representatives from all the main political parties, statutory agencies and several historians and academics, both local and international. All of the participants gave their personal experiences of interfaces, as well as their views on the way forward for the peace lines in Belfast.

The result of the work, four 40 minute documentaries, may be seen each Wednesday from May 30th at 12.00 midday, repeated throughout the day and evening.

The four documentaries give a general introduction followed by an in depth look at the issue of youth and violence at interfaces, the role of ex-combatants in peace building and investment and regeneration.

NvTv broadcasts a terrestrial picture, so a conventional TV aerial is needed, with TV sets tuned into Channel 62 (Frequency 799.276MHz).

Programmes are also streamed live on the Internet.
