#BFIFANCON wrapped & we’re straight back to business a few hours later! Not just any old screening though, but our second Floating Film on Belfast’s River Lagan. In collaboration with DRIFT/Lagan, we brought The Peanut Butter Falcon to a sold out crowd on our floating cinema!🍿

This lay-by is normally open for cars to park in. Today it is closed for an autumn fair and the estimate from organisers is there’s a turnover of 1,000 people per hour. Businesses are booming, the public are happy and creating a pedestrian friendly space facilitated that. – at Belfast, Northern Ireland
