As it has been nominated for seven Oscars, it's safe to say Kenneth Branagh's 'Belfast' has certainly put the north of the city on the map.
In the acclaimed film, Branagh goes right back to his own early years in the Mountcollyer area of North Belfast, just off York Road. Although it's semi-autobiographical, with some parts changed, it shows the area through the eyes of a nine-year-old as The Troubles erupt in 1969.
Growing up at 96 Mountcollyer Street, Kenneth Branagh has often spoken about his happy early years in Belfast. He grew up in a terraced house with his older brother Bill and parents, Frances and William.
