	Movies - Belfast Film Festival

The Belfast Film Festival is an annual film festival that takes places in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Commencing in the mid 1990s, it was originally held as part of the West Belfast Festival.

Two weeks after the 2004 event, the festivals offices in Donegall Streets historic North Street Arcade were decimated by fire. Despite losing their base, entire history and all their records the festival recovered and was able to stage the event again in 2005.

The 2005 festival was held from 7 April to 16 April. Opened by local actor Stephen Rea, the festival featured screenings including Bullet Boy, Les Choriste and Palindromes. Jonathan Caouette hosted a workshop about the making of his film Tarnation, which was the festivals closing night screening. A strong emphasis is put on showcasing the work of local film makers.

Later in 2005 the festival hosted two drive-in cinema nights as part of the Belfast Festival at Queens.

The festival takes places in various venues around the city including the Vue (cinema) at the Odyssey, Waterfront Hall, The Culturlann Centre, The John Hewitt Bar and the Queen's Film Theatre.
