We're just a couple of days away from our next NSIFC screening – and it's a big one.

This month: The Devils (1971) – a haunting, visceral masterpiece that dives deep into the dark intersections of power, religion, and desire. Banned and debated for decades, Ken Russell’s incendiary film still provokes and challenges like few others can.

Stick around after the screening for an in-depth conversation led by Robert J E Simpson from – expect sharp insights and lively discussion.

📍 Accidental Theatre, Belfast

Springsteen Acoustic Sessions

Springsteen Acoustic Sessions take you on a musical journey that touches the heart & soul. We look to the Springsteen On Broadway show for inspiration, there is nothing more touching than an acoustic song delivered with soul, passion, honesty and integrity. Our show touches on all these elements. It is our goal to be sending you home with a great feeling inside.

To the Springsteen Fan, this will be a show you don't want to miss, for there will be classics laced throughout our set such as Reason To Believe, Growing Up, Johnny 99, The River and Thunder Rd as well as the big hits.
