What's GAZE Anyway?

GAZE 101

Welcome to GAZE International LGBTQIA Film Festival.

GAZE is a queer film festival hosted in the Light House Cinema and Irish Film Institute every summer. This year GAZE will take place from the 1st to the 5th of August 2024. Initially formed in 1992 as an underground film club, the festival itself predates the legalisation of homosexuality in Ireland. This website can be used to learn more about the films and book tickets for the screenings. For more information on venue access and accommodations for disabilities, please contact the IFI and Light House Cinema directly.
