in conversation with... ciaran hinds

at the queen's film theatre belfast

As part of the Queen’s Film Theatre 40th Anniversary celebrations and in association with IFTA, we are delighted to be holding an In Conversation With Ciarán Hinds

The interview will be hosted by Marie Louise Muir from the BBC Northern Ireland and the double bill event will be preceded by a screening of Thaddeus O’Sullivan’s December Bride which stars Donal McCann and Ciarán Hinds, in an atmospheric, subtly nuanced tale of a seductive servant girl, the two men who covet her and the child that results.

After attending Queen’s University, Ciarán turned to acting and enrolled at RADA in London. Starting out in theatre he moved into film and TV work in the early ‘80s, appearing in films as diverse as The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover and Excalibur. A true actor’s actor, Ciarán has worked with many of the greatest names in film and theatre including Steven Spielberg , Michael Mann, Danny Boyle and Sam Mendes. In 2007 Ciarán won the IFTA for Best Actor in a Lead Role Television for his work on the HBO series Rome and the same award in 2004 for the ITV drama series The Mayor of Casterbridge.
