About this event
Presented by Irish Film Institute and Northern Ireland Screen present: Harold Johnson (1910-1967) was a skilled amateur filmmaker, a Quaker, and a businessman. Heir to Belfast's Johnson Brothers business founded in Belfast in 1893, his family recently deposited his collection of over 150 films (30 hours) for preservation in the IFI Irish Film Archive. Shot between the 1930s and 1960s on 8mm and 16mm sound and silent film, the collection records family holidays, workers in the Irel Coffee Factory, mountain climbing adventures, water skiing, motor sport, trips to Africa and the Holy Land, and Quaker gatherings in Dublin, Newtown School, Waterford and elsewhere. Meticulously edited, often playful, historically invaluable - these films are a joy to behold. This programme includes a series of short films which will be introduced by Harold's grandson, Alan Johnson and Sunniva O'Flynn (IFI) The silent films in the programme will be accompanied by pianist Morgan Cooke.
