Hearts of Down is a gathering of friends & neighbours, comrades & fellow travellers, who come together to imagine & make things – films, music, books...

We draw inspiration from the radical, democratic & anti-sectarian spirit of our native Co. Down, reaching out to people & communities everywhere.

Pulling our website together today. The banner image is from a painting 'Old Tongue' by Tim Millen, exhibited recently at the Ards Arts Centre. A show that "emerged from a stew of myth, folklore, climate reports, and the daily ritual of walking on Scrabo Hill".

A mysterious unmarked site in Newtownards, Co. Down, which some locals call Bully's Acre and is said to be linked to An Gorta Mór... This short film uncovers the disremembered famine history of Newtownards, and draws attention to Bully's Acre as a site of historical significance.

Coming soon...
