Fingal County Council is delighted to present a film trilogy by artist Anthony Haughey and The Global Migration Collective. The trilogy of short films This is What We Call Progress, Can you Hear us Now? and Waiting for Tomorrow reflect on the impact of global migration from the viewpoint of youth living in Fingal with a particular focus on Balbriggan.The films were developed by an array of young people from Fingal and commissioned under the Infrastructure Fingal County Council’s Public Art programme.A series of Film Posters advertising the films will celebrate the local participants at prominent billboard sites in Balbriggan. The films can be viewed on http://www.globalmigrationcollective.com/recommends/film-trilogy (not accessible through this medium).The films explore concerns expressed by these multi-ethnic youth who are growing up in a time of rapid change in Ireland and Internationally. In Can you Hear us now? A group of students from Lusk Community College calls for equality in the context of a xenophobic Europe. The second film This is What We Call Progress takes the audience to the beautiful red room of the 18th Century, Newbridge House. In this sequence, a group of young local women activists from a collective called My Sisters Keeper articulate and assert the positive role that African women have played in feminist discourse and human rights.The last film sees a group of young men engage in conversation about what is at stake for their generation where they discuss historical speeches and claims for civil rights and equality espoused by Martin Luther King Jr, Malcolm X, and others. This film Waiting for Tomorrow, set in Balbriggan references Beckett’s seminal play, Waiting for Godot. The waiting, in this case, points to the existence of a permanent state of crisis where fear and division are continuing to test the patience of so many generations of multi-ethnic communities especially in light of recent Black Lives Matter global protests.The Film Poster Schedule is: 30th Nov – 11th December – Main Street Balbriggan 12th – 25th December – Main Street Balbriggan
