On June 13, 2025, the documentary film The Flats by Alessandra Celesia had its UK national premiere at the Sheffield DocFest, marking its debut on British screens after a successful international tour. Shot in the Catholic neighborhood of New Lodge in Belfast, the film explores the scars left by the Troubles through the memories of Joe McNally and his neighbors.

Blending elements of theatre and documentary, the film gives voice to the residents of the area, weaving together moving reenactments and intimate confessions. It tackles heavy themes: trauma, violence, alcoholism, but also solidarity and collective memory.

Already awarded at CPH:DOX in Denmark, the film was warmly received in the UK, with screenings followed by discussions attended by the director. Critics have praised it as a sensitive and powerful work that gives a voice to those forgotten by history, while offering a deeply human perspective on memory and resilience.
