Northern Irish cineaste Mark Cousins is a passionate advocate of the power of film to transform our understanding of the world. In The First Movie he visits a small village in the Kurdish North of Iraq armed with a projector, a selection of great movies and three small cameras to allow the children there to express their inner imaginations. The result is a film about war and its human casualties but also an uplifting account of how innocence survives and beauty endures. The Guardian describes it as; “A terrifically enjoyable and engaging film: open-minded and open-hearted, and utterly unlike the material on regular commercial release.”

We are delighted to welcome director Mark Cousins who will be introducing the film and then will host a short Q&A session.
