There is a scene in the film about the IRA murder of Thomas Niedermayer in which his widow, Ingeborg, like him from Germany, talks about how she found the wet weather here challenging, and then the sun would come out. They loved Northern Ireland, which is why they stayed during the Troubles. On Thursday I watched the stunning film - here is my review.

Rev David Clements' RUC dad was killed by a terror gang that was itself later killed at Loughall. I am always struck by the restraint with which he writes, such as here about the pain of 'Ooh ah up the rah' chants. We have asked West Belfast funders about that annual IRA chorus at the generously supported festival at a time of financial restraint but they just sidestep our queries
