Try and Touch (Ireland 2023 – Dir. Nell Hensey)

"Shy rugby star, Emer, has caught feelings for her musically gifted classmate Temi. But will she muster the courage to act on them?"

 

Quando os Grilos Cantam (Portugal 2021 – Dir. Fernando de Macedo)

“The story of a boy that is as confined as his crickets"

 

Amoeba (Ireland 2023 – Dir. Ian Fallon)

"After surviving a brain eating parasite, Levi, a young queer man, is invited to his secondary school crush Roan's house for the weekend. Waking from an intoxicated night of reconnecting, Levi becomes convinced Roan kissed him. As Levi seeks the truth of what happened that night, his grip on reality loosens. AMŒBA is a story about the destructive power of unrequited love."

 

Normáilte (Ireland 2024 – Dir. Lukasz Simon)
"Created as part of an Irish Queer Archive’s 2024 exhibition Normáilte explores the experience of growing up queer, and links it to the growth of the LGBTQ+ movement in Ireland over the last 50 years."

 

Late Bloomers (Ireland 2023 – Dir. Sam Ahern)
“Over the course of a summer’s day, the intimacy between two friends blossoms into something more. Often when we are the ones closest to the truth, we are the very last people to see it.”

 

West of the Horizon: (Ireland 2024 - Dir. Barra Convery)

" On the remote coast of Connemara, a runaway trans-teenager has a chance encounter with a bereaved, suicidal fisherman that sees the two form an unlikely bond."

 

Shitty Liking (Austria 2024 – Dir. Linua Land)
„Shitty Liking delves into the twisted dynamics of a destructive relationship between 19-year-old Sophia and 29-year-old Lilian. When they reunite after months apart, their bond is revealed to be fueled by nostalgic fantasies and an imbalanced power struggle.”


Babylamb - The Weapon (Ireland 2023 - Dir. Jamie & Conor Hooper)

"The Weapon is a track about how bad actors in society pretend that you can be dangerous just by being who you are. I wrote the lyrics as a reminder to myself that being queer is about being in love (for me)."

For our event on Sunday 25th August, we are expanding our usual monthly evening session into a small one day film festival. This festival will focus on the LGBTQ+ community in Cork, including their representation in film, their use of film as activism, and their role in the film industry. 
Alongside our regular Out of Frame film talk, we will offer space throughout the day for different activities geared toward educating festival goers and providing topical entertainment in the form of workshops and a panel of queer themed short films. 
More details to be announced soon!
