There Was No One Else There But The Stones

A forgotten chapter in the history of an iconic former church building at a gateway to the city of Belfast is told through three voices: a Northern Irish Methodist minister preaching in the 70s; a Cork sculptor working there in impossible conditions in the 80s; and a German performance artist living there in the 90s. 'There Was No One Else There But The Stones' is the story of Carlisle Memorial Church: physchogeography, trauma, reilisience, and a lot of pigeons.

Written, directed and produced by Jonathan Brennan.
