Maze from Paul Largan on Vimeo.
A short film by Hugh McGrory (2004). 'Maze' is shot on Super-8 on a wind-up clockwork Russian military camera. It's a film about the empty Maze/Long Kesh Prison outside Belfast, scene of the Hunger Strikes in 1981.
Her Majesty's Prison Maze (known colloquially as The H Blocks, Long Kesh, or The Maze) was a prison used to house paramilitary prisoners during the Northern Ireland Troubles from 1976 to 2000.
It is in the former Royal Air Force station at Long Kesh near Lisburn, nine miles (14 km) outside Belfast, in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The prison and its inmates have played a prominent role in recent Irish history, notably in the 1981 hunger strike. The prison was closed in 2000 and razing began on 30 October 2006.
