The makers of The Brandon Teena Story return with an empowering but intimate film centred around a 42-year passionate romance between two women - Edie and Thea. Beginning pre-Stonewall, Edie and Thea's relationship gives us an inspiring glimpse into lesbian life, love and activism since the 1960s.

Unable to achieve marriage in their home country, Edie and Thea, the latter recently diagnosed with a terminal illness, leave for Canada to legalise their vows with the country's first openly gay judge. As they face into the unknown, Edie and Thea: A Very Long Engagement has something to enlighten, impress and move us all.

Official Selection, Frameline San Francisco Intl LGBT Film Festival 2009

    I will definitely be going to see this film. I heard Edie being interviewed on RTE Radio and it was very moving - she is a great woman.

    I really really want to see this film, it looks so cool, and I probably will cry loads and all of that jazz, but I would still love to see it.. Due to recessionary times, I probably will not be able to see any of the films, but I will get to hear about them...My email address is tootsjmcm@gmail.com..Thanks Gaze, you would make my dreams come through if I got a free ticket!!
