Doc ‘Paradiso’ wins in Rome
Alessandro Negrini’s Paradiso won the Best Documentary Award at the 2010 Arcipelago Rome Film Festival. Shot in Derry, Paradiso follows the fortunes of Roy Arbuckle, who decides it’s time to challenge one of the monstrosities left by the war: fear. He wants to reunite his former Showband, The Signetts and his formers musicians, now in their seventies, organizing a major dance night and get Protestants and Catholics dancing together again in The Fountain, a dying Protestant district. The hour-long documentary was produced by Margo Harkin (Waveriders).
