noir [2007]

noir was an instant hit, created as the final project for the Film course at QUB, and without question stole all the laughs in its first showcase. As it is still screened (most recently, as part of a landmark showcase at the QFT in Belfast, celebrating the cream of locally produced shorts) the film itself cannot be hosted online, but below are a series of stills.

As a satire on both classic American cinema, and thoroughly Irish thinking, noir has several strings to its bow. It was the first student piece from QUB to be shot entirely in HD, and entirely in black and white; it featured both local professional actors and an unknown in the lead; and was shot on locations across Belfast. mediatree lays claim to the Director of Photography credit, and with great pride as it is clear that the entire piece would be made or broken by the authenticity and accuracy of the cinematography.
