Selected Highlights
Ritz Day – LIVE podcast with Brian Henry Martin
Description
Join filmmaker Brian Henry Martin and cinema historian Dr. Sam Manning, hosts of The Wonder Cinema podcast, to celebrate the anniversary of the Ritz, Belfast’s long-lost picture palace.
Located at Fisherwick Place, the Ritz (later the ABC and the Cannon) opened on 9 November 1936 with a performance from Gracie Fields, one of the biggest box office stars of the decade. After hosting some of the world’s biggest stars, including Cary Grant and The Beatles, the cinema faced more turbulent times in the 1970s. Following a firebomb, the cinema reopened and reimagined itself but eventually closed its doors in 1993.
If you have memories of the Ritz, come along and let us know. Enjoy a slice of birthday cake and join us for a discussion of the cinema’s history, where we will also unveil Stuart Marshall’s new model of the Ritz. Be there for the chance to win exclusive Ritz memorabilia and to see never-before-seen images from its storied past.
