Director: Joel Simon

Year: 1998

Cider Punks, a model animation, brings a humorous insight to the frantic Belfast-based life of Becky Donduffin, 17, and her circle of friends who share a passion for nihilism, protest, body piercing and army surplus clothing. The preponderance of peer-pressure and escapism in the teenagers' lives are clearly the main themes in this 'mockumentary', which reflects on the issues in a witty, yet thought-provoking way.
