Rip It Up: John T. Davis Documentary Season at QFT Belfast

What to Expect

As part of the UK-wide Rip It Up BFI FAN season, Queen’s Film Theatre presents a run of documentary films by John T. Davis - internationally recognised as Northern Ireland’s most distinctive documentary filmmaker - in the week of 21-27 August 2026. Davis’s films capture the underground punk scene in Northern Ireland and beyond, and span subjects from American road culture to Irish travellers. His work offers a rare and candid record of subcultural life in Northern Ireland through the 1980s and 1990s. Exact titles and screening times are listed on the QFT website.
