Moderator Annette Insdorf interviews the director and cast of Belfast, recipient of the Toronto Film Festival’s “People’s Choice Award.” Peter Travers said in his ABC News review, “No wonder Kenneth Branagh’s funny, touching and vital look at his own coming of age in Northern Ireland’s turbulent capital city is the Oscar frontrunner for Best Picture. No movie this year cuts a clearer, truer path of the heart. It’s his personal best.”
Five-time Oscar nominee Kenneth Branagh is the versatile writer-director-producer of films including the Shakespeare adaptations Henry V, Much Ado About Nothing and Hamlet; mainstream successes like Thor and Murder on the Orient Express, and the critically acclaimed Dead Again as well as A Midwinter’s Tale. As an actor, he is known for TV’s Wallander, Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk, Philip Noyce’s Rabbit-Proof Fence, and for playing Laurence Olivier in My Week with Marilyn, as well as Iago in Oliver Parker’s Othello. He will soon be seen reprising the role of Hercule Poirot in Death on the Nile, which he also directed.
Caitríona Balfe has played Claire Randall in the TV series Outlander, and co-starred with Christian Bale in Jim Mangold’s Ford v Ferrari. While Jamie Dornan may be best known for playing Christian Grey in 50 Shades of Grey, his filmography includes A Private War alongside Rosamund Pike as the journalist Marie Brenner, Barb & Star Go to Vista del Mar with Kristin Wiig, and the TV series The Fall, also set in Belfast. Jude Hill makes his feature film debut as Buddy. Ciarán Hinds’ movies include Steven Spielberg’s Munich, Martin Scorsese’s Silence, Todd Solondz’s Life During Wartime, There Will Be Blood, and the Harry Potter series. He is also a renowned stage actor who has appeared with the RSC.
Winner of a Special Award from the American Film Institute jury, Belfast is a beautifully crafted drama set in 1969 Northern Ireland. While tensions between Protestants and Catholics rise, its focus is on 9-year-old Buddy (Jude Hill): his happy childhood is torn by riots that lead his father (Jamie Dornan) to suggest moving to England, while his mother (Balfe) wants to stay in their home. The ties that bind include his grandparents (Hinds and Judi Dench). The music is by Van Morrison.

After watching several interviews now with the cast of Belfast. Annette Insdorf is by far the most professional and kind interviewer. She asked questions and then listened carefully without interruption. So many others have cut the actors off trying to interject their point of view. Aside from not knowing Jamie's mom had passed, she was very well researched. Such a wonderful group of actors who are humble and down to earth and continue to display what it means to be part of a loving family. I love the movie, Belfast!
Fantastic interview Annette - thank you. As a fan of Caitriona Balfe, it is great to learn that the NY Times recognized what the Oscars ignored. Caitriona's portrayal of Ma is spectacular and carries much of the emotional impact of the film. By the way, she has been nominated for four Golden Globes for her work in Outlander; alas the Academy failed to reward her brilliant work in Belfast with a nomination.
Masterful interview by Insdorf… the best I’ve seen for this wonderful gem of a movie…
Definitely, she's a great interviewer & host.

Went to the 92Y when I lived in N.Y. Many enjoyable times there. Always quality quests. Thanks again.
I really enjoyed this interview. Annette Insdorf is a brilliant host and she is so kind. Thank you.
Really interesting, thoughtful interview. So nice to have considered and intelligent questioning.
What a beautiful interview, Annette! Thanks a lot from Spain!
i love to watch interviews all about Belfast and i never seen it and i will watch that movie
As a non-Irish American who had become acquainted with and deeply interested in Irish history long before, this film had a profound meaning for me, although it wasn't until 1967-68, working in 1967-68 with my then husband on the book that became his doctoral dissertation (my senior thesis in college was about the time of the great famine in Ireland), that I set food in Ireland. The outbreak of The Troubles (though, of course, their causes were centuries old) was terribly disturbing to me - especially, because the children of the lovely family (Catholics) we stayed with in Dublin during part of that year only looked blankly at me when I asked them what they had learned about the turbulent history of Ireland. To all appearances, either they hadn't studied about it or whatever they may have learned seemed like the most ancient of history to them, with no current meaning. And then, just months later it all exploded, and my heart ached for everyone involved. I felt the same way watching "Belfast." I cannot truly come to it as one whose history and nationality are different from the characters, the writer/director, the actors or anyone with a truly intimate connection to those events, but I cherish this film for bringing a warm, deeper, more personal context to a dreadful time and doing it so magnificently but seemingly completely natural, with such intimacy, humor and sadness. My hat is off to all the actors, from the stars to those who played smaller but still integral, essential parts, and I thank you, once again.
Sorry for the typos. My emotions got the best of me, so I didn't copyedit myself carefully! But I trust you know what I meant to say. I hope that everyone who sees the film can recognize it as the masterpiece it is, but watching the film also had a personal meaning for me.
Love ❤️ this movie ❤❤❤
Awesome
Fui a ver la pelicula es bellisima .los actores espectaculares y Jmie es un excelente actor se merecen el premio del OSCAR.soy de ARGENTINA.
People: ‘Annette does her research ‘.
Annette: *doesn’t mention Jamie in ‘once upon a time’.
Por favor, traducir al castellano !!!
I think your research was inadequate to not have known that the actor Jamie Dornan s mother had died when he was a child was
unprofessional.
