<<<   Ireland: The Silent Voices (1983)   >>>

BFI Of all the contentious areas examined by independent film-makers over the past fifteen years none can be more controversial or more important than Northern Ireland. Successive British governments have tried reform, power sharing. direct rule, internment and have come up against opposition from Republicans in the form of violence and hunger strikes and opposition from Loyalists in the form of violence and industrial strikes. In the absence of a political solution to the 'Irish problem' British forces have had little choice but to treat the issue as one of law and order their role being simply to mediate between the two sides and hunt out the terrorists... or at least, that is the dominant thinking. The view taken by the opinion former's of Whitehall, Fleet Street and Television Centre. And the opinion received by a very substantial majority of the mainland population. But there are other perspectives... Whenever they venture abroad, the British run the risk of discovering that the stock assumptions and interpretations with which the conflict is understood here are not universally accepted elsewhere.Even the relatively conservative broadcasting networks of Germany and France see the 'troubles' in terms of the last stages of a British colonial problem. Ireland: The Silent Voices is a documentary which introduces a series of three films about present day Ireland to be shown in The Eleventh Hour on 14, 21 & 28th March. The film asks searching questions about the terminology adopted by the mainstream media and analyses British media coverage of Ireland using comparative material from foreign television. It also touches on the way that British cinema 's treatment of Ireland reveals a deep seated continuity between film and television: from the Odd Man Out to The Gentle Gunman and The Long Good Friday,British cinema has tended to show Irish politics in a way that denies rationality making the acts of individuals seem a-political and a-historical.
