Identities wins Best Documentary at the Gaze Film Festival

Identities a feature length docudrama i worked on last Spring has won Best Documentary at the Gaze Film Festival.

"One of the very few Irish films to engage with trans life and culture, Identities is a visually superb and immensely creative film. Exploring the culturally diverse background of the Irish trans community, revealing insightful and intimate stories relating to transvestism, transsexualism, drag, sexual identity and gender dysphoria in many innovative cinematic ways.
Using interviews and observational film techniques, the film breaks out into some wonderfully abstract performances by its characters in fantastical scenarios, giving rich visual expression to their stories. It is a film that heartily celebrates the overthrowing of traditional misconceptions and common stereotypes" Gaze Website

Following a successful screening in L.A, Identities will be screening at this years Festival Internacional de cine lesbico gay y transsexual de Madrid (Les Gai Cine Madrid) on November 6th at 6pm.
