BOOK TICKETS HERE

One of the very few Irish films to engage with trans life and culture, Identities is a visually superb and immensely creative film. Exploring the culturally diverse background of the Irish trans community, revealing insightful and intimate stories relating to transvestism, transsexualism, drag, sexual identity and gender dysphoria in many innovative cinematic ways.

Using interviews and observational film techniques, the film breaks out into some wonderfully abstract performances by its characters in fantastical scenarios, giving rich visual expression to their stories. It is a film that heartily celebrates the overthrowing of traditional misconceptions and common stereotypes.

Identities will be introduced by director Vittoria Colonna.

    I saw a review of this in GCN and it looks amazing. The fact that this film deals with the trans community on a more raw level makes it a must see for me!!!
