Event Description

Irish shorts are the beating heart of GAZE, and as always we have spread them throughout our programme in various shorts blocks and pre-feature slots. The six films screened as part of New Irish Shorts represent the breadth of Ireland’s film-making talent, concerning lesbian desire, parenthood, drag, HIV, and Gaeilge as a secret sapphic love-language. We are honoured to welcome some of the makers with us for a post-show conversation, so please join us. This year, we are excited to introduce a second screening of Irish Shorts with access elements. 


There will be a post-screening Q&A with the filmmakers.

Homofónia 


Luke K. Murphy/ Ireland/ 2023/ 11m

Concerned 


Hazel McGuire, Jenny Roche/ Ireland/ 2024/ 13m

Producers: Hazel McGuire, Jenny Roche

Spins, Splits, Stories

Dirty Talk 


Eva Wyse/ Ireland/ 2024/ 15m 


Copy: On the quest for intimacy in the middle of a global pandemic, Tar and Anna meet for the first time in the hopes of having a socially distanced hook up. No touching, just (attempted) dirty talk.

Pregnant with a Drag Queen 


Colin Brady/ Ireland/ 2024/ 22m 


Pregnant with a Drag Queen unfolds the journey of how Enda McGrattan, growing up as a queer person in 1990s Dublin, unlocked something within themselves by giving birth to the vibrant drag persona Veda. Sharing their transformative experiences on a live TV chat show, Enda contends with a sceptical host before the show is suddenly derailed by the most beautiful woman in the world… in their price range. 


Writer: Colin Brady 


Producer: Steve Sheehy
