Have you ever dreamed of being a movie star and staring a Hollywood production? Whilst not quite as grand today is still your lucky day as Belfast City Council in partnership with a wide range of city partners, have announced that they are looking for over 2,000 volunteers from Belfast and beyond to take part in an exciting filming project set to be revealed at this year’s Culture Night!
Organisers of the event are not giving very much away for now but have promised that a short film will be produced which will be used to highlight the ‘energy of our city and the diversity of its people, creating a real sense of civic pride.’
Lord Mayor of Belfast, Councillor Deirdre Hargey is very excited at the prospect of the filming taking place right at the heart of the city saying: “This is a really fun project and a great opportunity for people from right across Belfast to be part of – we’ll even throw in a free lunch!
“We don’t want to give too much away at the minute because we’re trying to keep it under wraps until Culture Night, but it will be a fantastic experience for those taking part and a real talking point.” She added: “What I can say is, this will be a really positive way of profiling our city and I’m really excited to see the finished project, which will be shown as part of Culture Night in September.”
Susan Picken from Culture Night also expressed her delight at the film being premiered at Culture Night saying: “This is an incredibly exciting project and we are looking forward to unveiling the results at this year’s Culture Night.”
The filming will take place at the Titanic Quarter Belfast on 12th September at lunchtime. People from right across the city including, businesses, schools, community groups, youth organisations, sports teams and visitors to Belfast are all being encouraged to take part and you can find out more or register your interest by emailing [email protected].
