Yellowstone: A Brief History of Belfast City Hospital

Yellowstone is a moving account on the life cycle of a place, its reason for being; the changing facade of a landmark building in the City of Belfast - a hospital that evolved from a humble 6 bed unit for the sick of the city's workhouse to a 900 bed university teaching hospital. For the director this is a labour of love and he beautifully interweaves his own personal history into this story, recounting the birth and death of his infant sibling who came before him in the hospital's Jubilee Maternity Unit. This building would be demolished and replaced by the Cancer Centre - a place with which the filmmaker would become familiar during his time spent as an in-patient during the summer of 2017. Yellowstone is a work interwoven with themes of beginnings, endings, life and death and ultimately of hope.
