Art/Conflict: 2 X Zones is a feature length documentary shot on DV in 2004/2005 in Ireland and The Basque Country.

The documentary based on a multiplicity of interviews conducted over a year
long period in Ireland and the Basque country. It takes a look back at these
localised conflicts from the perspective of a post September 11th World and
explores how fine artists in The Basque Country and Ireland from the late 1960's
onwards understood their roles in the midst of situations of ongoing civil conflict.
It relates the insights garnered by artists in the midst of two
localised conflicts in the late 20th century to the present where terrorism,
civil conflict and 'cool war' have along with the market been globalised.
The documentary exemplifies the possibilities for low-budget cross cultural
documentary filmmaking in an era of cheap and ubuiquotous digital filmaking
hardware.

Interviewees include Patrick Ireland, Txomin Badiola, Willie Doherty, Shane Cullen and Amanda Dunsmore.
