All three films were made as part of the pioneering Community Visions series that brought the film making process to the heart of local communities in Belfast.

During the making of Where Do I Play?, fourteen 8-14 year olds were given technical and practical through after school sessions, a four-day residential and a three week film shoot. The young people did most of the research and wrote the script themselves. They directed the film as well and did nearly all the camera and sound. This is their film.

Northern Visions "Women in Fiction" project was a short drama initiative which faced the challenge of realising the fiction film and promoting visibility for women. A core group of women were taken through a 12 week course of screenwriting, video, sound, art design, make up, wardrobe, continuity and acting for television before embarking on the 10 day production shoot to realise the film. The women were given opportunities to be responsible for various aspects of the production, act in the film and shadow professionals.

The original concept for the film Saoirse, the Ardoyne Film Project was developed from a series of script workshops with local people. During the making of the film, local primary schoolgirl, Joanna Farnan, made her debut playing the starring role opposite Cathy White playing the part of her mother and Ardoyne residents came out in force to line the streets in an ambitious recreation of the day of the cease-fire. The Ardoyne Film Project gave participants from the local community the opportunity to be creatively involved in the filmmaking process from conception to completion.

The fourth film in the series, The Arts Revisited a documentary on the impact of the Community Arts movement will be premiered at the Community Arts conference in the Waterfront Hall in early 1999.

A documentary of the community arts movement as it faces the challenges presented by its artistic endeavours and realises its  potential. The Arts Revisited captures the enthusiasm and showcases the best of community arts in the Belfast area.
