A Ride on a Tramcar through Belfast, 1901 (w/ Sound!)
Filmed on May 27th, 1901 by Sagar Mitchell & James Kenyon, this was shot from atop a horse drawn tram along Royal Avenue, turning onto High Street, and terminating at the Albert Clock in Queens Square, Belfast, Ireland. It was shown as part of an exhibition at the Ulster Hall in May of 1901. Billboards can be seen advertising the event, and the North American Animated Photo Co, a UK company that commissioned many of Mitchell and Kenyon's films. The terms movie and film were not in common usage in these earliest days of filmmaking, and the term animated photo was still vying for the film lexicon. These films were exhibited in halls, saloons, or whatever local venue could be procured at the time, with dedicated movie theaters being over a decade in future.
Mitchell & Kenyon operated under a business model which had them traveling to cities all over England filming citizens and landmarks, and then renting local venues to sell tickets. Local folks were eager to see the new and novel moving photographs of themselves and friends, even more so than exotic locations or famous individuals. Mitchell & Kenyon Film Company started in 1897 and operated to the mid-teens. During this time Mitchell and Kenyon inadvertently generated a wealth of documentation of everyday live in Edwardian England. In 1994, a cache of films were discovered in the basement of a photo shop that was about to be demolished. These films comprise the largest collection in the world of actuality films from the early 20th century.
This version of the Belfast film has 18 channels of sound design by Mike Upchurch. Mike is a comedy writer by trade, and does sound design on old films in his spare time.

Belfast schoolgirl Hannah Nelson steals show before Barack Obama speech
Student Hannah Nelson, 16, introduced the US President and First Lady at an event in Belfast with an empassioned speech about the future of Northern Ireland.
Addressing 2,000 school children gathered at Waterfront Hall, Miss Nelson said she wanted to see a permanent peace in Ulster.
We should not let the past pull us apart and stop us moving forward. Somehow we need to make a brighter future, a future that builds bridges and brings people together, she said.
The Methody student won the chance to introduce the Obamas on stage after writing an essay on maintaining peace in Northern Ireland.
Hannah sat down to write her essay last Saturday during a break from studying for her GCSEs. She entered it the next day in a competition run by the US Consul in Northern Ireland - and won.
She was chosen to read her address from the US President's own podium at an event that would be beamed around the world.
I'm a shy girl, who has never done this kind of thing before, she said.
But when she took to the stage, dressed in the dark navy colours of her grammar school, and flanked by hundreds of school children just like her in their own uniforms, she delivered a polished performance.
Facing politicians and dignitaries in the gallery, including First and Deputy First Ministers Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness, she assuredly told them a new Northern Ireland was possible.
I just realised everyone is the same as me, peace is something we need to achieve in Northern Ireland, she said.
It is achievable and I just want to live in a society where we are safe and can be friends with everybody and there are no divisions.
That's what I want so I decided I would try to write something about that, she said.
The teenager said she did not have any plans for a career in politics and was focussing on her upcoming A-Levels in Chemistry, Physics, Maths, and French.
For now, though, she said she was looking forward to flying out to Portugal with her grandmother for a well-deserved break after her exams.

Belfast City Council want 66,000 more people living in the city centre by 2035 - BBC News NI
Belfast City Council wants to have 66,000 more people living in the city centre by 2035.
That will mean building about 30,000 new homes.
Across the UK and Europe city centres are prime real estate, yet only about 3,000 people live in Belfast city centre.
Historically people have not been encouraged to live in the city centre but that attitude is changing.

Loyalist Songs - Belfast Town
Belfast Town
I have traveled this world and the pleasures that she gave
I've sailed the might oceans up and down
For its plainly I have yearned for my homeland to return
Just to see again my dear old Belfast Town.
There she stands in command of our forefathers land
She still wears the dear old British crown
And though battle scarred she be
She means home sweet home to me
When I see again my dear old Belfast Town.
And meander once again down this shackled narrow lane
On the Sandy Road to wander up and down
Through this city hall I'll walk to Finaghy and back
Just to see again my dear old Belfast Town.
There she stands in command of our forefathers land
She still wears the dear old British crown
And though battle scarred she be
She means home sweet home to me
I will visit East Belfast showing memories of our past
I will gaze and storm my buildings shining white
So when caution took its stand with its true and loyal band
To fly the Union Jack was Ulster's right.
There she stands in command of our forefathers land
She still wears the dear old British crown
And though battle scarred she be
She means home sweet home to me
I will see the city hall where the Union Jack flies tall
I will stand and watch the mighty Lagan flow
Belfast loyal to the core as she was in days of yore
When the Ulster Volunteers to war did go.
There she stands in command of our forefathers land
She still wears the dear old British crown
And though battle scarred she be
She means home sweet home to me
I'll be coming home in time and my heart will fill with pride
To be back home in the place where I belong
And Belfast will be kissed I can see that breaks the mist
And know she bears her malice with this song.
There she stands in command of our forefathers land
She still wears the dear old British crown
And though battle scarred she be
She means home sweet home to me

UK: Hundreds pay tribute to murdered journalist in Belfast
Hundreds of mourners gathered at the Belfast City Hall on Friday for a vigil in memory of journalist Lyra McKee, who was shot dead on Thursday night.
Friends of McKee, including Booker-prize winning author Anna Burns, told the vigil that her heart was always open and that you don't know what's going to happen in life.
Director of the Northern Ireland Rainbow Project, John O'Doherty said McKee did nothing to deserve their hate.
McKee was struck by a bullet during rioting in Londonderry on Thursday.
Police blamed dissident republicans known as the 'New IRA' for the murder and are treating the death as a terrorist incident.

The Auld Triangle
(Brendan Behan)
A hungry feeling
Came o'er me stealing
And the mice were squeeling
In my prison cell
To begin the morning
The screw bawling
Get up out of bed, boy!
And Clean up your cell!
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
On a fine Spring evening
The loike lay dreaming
And the sea-gulls squeeling
High above the wall
Oh! the day was dying
And the wind was sighing
As I lay there crying
In my prison cell
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
Oh! the screw was peeping
And the loike was sleeping
As he lay there weeping
For his poor gal
And that auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
In the female prison
There are seventy women
And I wish to god it was with them
That I did dwell
And the auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
And the auld triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
