Description
"The Paint Hall" is a historic building in Titanic Quarter, Belfast. It was once the main Harland and Wolff painting hall and includes a large indoor space. Now a film studio, originally created by film producer Jo Gilbert, it was the location for the filming of Spike Milligan's Puckoon in 2000. The building is currently on licence to Northern Ireland Screen, who have plans to offer it rent free to film makers. The Paint Hall was the location of the City of Ember in the 2008 film of the same name. Starting in 2010 it was used as the main studio for the HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones, which debuted in April 2011.
