City finds its Voice

Story added 30 June 2010

Voices

Audiences in the city are getting their chance to view the inspirational 'Voices' film which formed a vital part of Derry-Londonderry's City of Culture 2013 pitch in Liverpool.

Special screenings of the film will be held at the Nerve Centre - where the film was produced - at 1pm on the following dates: Friday July 2, Monday July 5, Wednesday July 7, Friday July 9 and Saturday July 17.

The film shows the ordinary (or should that be extraordinary) people of the city explaining why the City of Culture judging panel should 'Just Say Yes' to our bid.

Derry City Council's Temporary Director of Development, Oonagh McGillion, who was part of the city's 10-strong team in Merseyside, says the video is extremely powerful because it allows the people to say why the city is so special to them.

"The film shows the city through the eye of the people making it very moving". Shot at the end of may in glorious sunny weather, "Voices" shows the city at its best.

Nerve Centre Chief Executive, Pearse Moore, said that they had been happy to play their part in the pitch process through the production of Voices.

"The Nerve Centre was delighted to have had the opportunity to play a role in creating something for our city’s pitch to become UK City of Culture 2013. We believe our film captures the vibrancy of the cultural scene here in the city and hope that it gives voice and vision to the enthusiasm, passion and commitment with which our city has embraced the City of Culture bidding process" he said.

Many new expressions of the city's creativity and talent have been added to the City of Culture website so why not visit www.cityofculture2013.com to read more at City Voices
