Neil Clerkin is a young film-maker from Ballinascreen in South Derry. ‘Act of Union’ is his first venture into the world of film-making, and to a great extent ‘Act of Union’ is all his own work. So many documentaries have been made about the Troubles, there is a tendency to grow weary of them. ‘Act of Union’, however, knits together the various strands of the conflict with a vigour and assurance that is rarely found in someone new to film-making. So far ‘Act of Union’ has won the ‘Laurel of Excellence’ at the Docs Without Borders festival and was nominated for best documentary at the Cannes World Film Festival. Bainigi sult as ‘Act of Union’. And remember the name – Neil Clerkin.
