A wee cat, a flax flower and two pieces of Italian marginalia - the last one represents a subversion of authority.

If you missed Equinox last year, you can experience it again. This unique archive/music remix looks at one harvest day through the eyes of musician Róis and director Stuart Sloan.
belfastfilmfestival2025.eventive.org/schedule/equ...
Using archive film sourced from Northern Ireland Screen’s Digital Film Archive and BBC Rewind, the film moves chronologically through both the eons of time, and a single harvest day in Ireland - weaving together astrological visuals, standing stones, the abundance of nature and harvests past.

1985 was quite the year in Northern Ireland. Revisit it with some ire-raising, but also unintentionally hilarious archive (unless the DUP were *trying* to be funny).

IRA-chic is a term I invented for variations on these looks.
Actually, Andy Tyrone might be the new style icon these days.
Belfast pubs are full of them. Never thought I'd see the day 😂

Autumn in the Mournes.

The best light in the world. 💚
The mountains of Mourne in an autumnal light. There are cloud shadows across the mountains. The sky is big and a light aqua blue. Later the same day out for a walk. The sky is still big but now has shared of grays and purples with a strip of sunset orange. The view is of a field climbing upwards and along the horizon there is the shadow of a black cow.

Wearing my gorgeous Grainne Knox pin. Old man asks me what it is.

-Noone is free til women are free
-God almighty, are you one of those women libbers?
-I just believe everyone deserves a fair chance
-Well good luck with that."
*scurries off*

Didn't even get the chance to tell him it was in Irish😂
Beautiful pin with a phoenix and the words above around it.

Why is this lion wearing a loincloth/nappy?

Also I guess he skipped leg day.
A neon light in the shape of an upright lion. He is wearing a pink shape over his crotch.

Any relation to our Lilly?!

They take hospitality very seriously in Fermanagh.

I love a jigsaw but I've had this one for about 15 years and never been able to finish it. It gives me hives now 😂
Jigsaw puzzle based on the Dr Who Can Gogh episode. It's the painting of the TARDIS exploding in space.

Why is "car broker" not a job?

I have to find a new car asap. I dread it. Why can't I pay a fee for someone to do that for me?

Give them my wishlist, my budget and off they go.

Why is that not a thing???!!

(Not my actual car)
A very broken car with stuff growing out the back. This is not my car but it might as well be.

The absolute worst tourist trail ever.

Also, indentation would help. Where the fuck is "Roundabout"? "East Belfast Bottom of" anyone?
🙄🙄🙄
A poster advertising "operation shut down" which appears to be a loyalist protest in a number of areas of inner and outer Belfast. There is a line that reads "a number of small areas will be participating across Northern Ireland but because of Republican Marxist aggression cannot release their details until the last minute"

That was quite the day. Not very often you're in a meeting with four Ambassadors and then a horse stops the train home.
