TITE: Dog Movie & Friends (+Q&A)

CLUB 18+135 min

Synopsis

Sharing a space with other people can be as comforting as it is frustrating. But in the thick of the Irish housing crisis, the vast majority of trans people find themselves crammed together with friends and family, for better… or for worse. Featuring five shorts and a 50-minute feature, this programme deals with the highs and the lows of sharing space with others, allowing its protagonists to vent their frustrations, dote on their loved ones, and reflect on the future of trans life in a world that seems determined not to make space for it.

Features a post-screening Q&A with filmmakers.
