The film:
TIDES depicts lives across the divided Northern Ireland and reflects on issues that are going beyond borders and the very concept of it. The film, narrated from the point of view of the river separating Catholic and Protestant communities, through dreamlike sequences and archive material made by ordinary people in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s – invites us to discover its story through the voice of the river.

The director:
Multi award-winning Italian film director and poet Alessandro Negrini, defines himself a film director by mistake. His documentaries and short films have garnered a remarkable raft of international awards in festivals around the world. Negrini's most acclaimed work deals with social exclusion, magic realism and resistance and his works combine documentaries, fiction and poetry.
