Films & Virtual Events

Films QFT Player Banner
Browse our films

The Seamus Heaney Centre at Queen’s began producing short films at the start of the first lockdown in 2020, to replace the readings, launches, and conversations that would have formed part of their live literary events programme. Together with colleagues at QFT, they have brought new writing by students, staff, Fellows and friends to international audiences.

All our 'virtual events' are available to view for free (no subscription necessary), alongside many excellent titles on the QFT Player.
