Inside Stories: Memories from the Maze and Long Kesh Prison contains the stories of three ex-occupants of the prison complex who return to the empty prison - a republican ex-prisoner, a loyalist ex-prisoner, and a prison officer. The locations were used to stimulate memories and guide the narratives of the three participants
The films address several issues - how trauma memory finds a narrative, how that is informed by location, how the participants perform while being recorded, and how ownership of material influences authorship.
Inside Stories has been exhibited at Catalyst Arts, Belfast, 2005; NVTV, Belfast, 2005; Imperial War Museum, London, 2005; Constitution Hill, Johannesburg, 2006; Digital Research Gallery, South Bank University, London, 2006, Naughton Gallery, Belfast, 2008; and Belfast Prison, 2009.
