THE PARTY - ANDREA HARKIN (2016)

Written by Conor MacNeill and directed by Andrea Harkin, The Party was nominated for the Best British Short Film BAFTA in 2017. Set in Belfast in 1972, during the The Troubles (the Nationalist-Loyalist conflict that blighted Northern Ireland for three decades), this drama short film revolves around a small, teen house party, where the wanted Mickey (an Irish Nationalist) is the guest of honour. Drinking, dancing and romance is followed by the reality of being a man-on-the-run with the British Army after you in Belfast. If you like The Party by Andrea Harkin, be sure to rate it and share it.
