Irish Documentary IDENTITIES to screen in the IFI this weekend
Fresh from its world premiere at the Cork Film Festival , Identities, Vittoria Colonna's new feature-length documentary will screen in the IFI on Sunday 14th December as part of their Ireland on Sunday series.Identities is a sensitive and compelling documentary which explores the multicoloured, multicultural transgender community in Ireland. Charting the multicoloured, multicultural transgender community in Ireland, five stories give shape to the different but parallel worlds of transvestism, transsexualism, drag, sexual identity, and gender dysphoria. At its heart, this is a film about the human spirit, overcoming stereotype and categorisation thereby allowing personality and human emotion a path to expression.
Produced by Rachel Lysaght for Underground Films, the documentary was funded by the IFB and the Arts Council.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Vittoria Colonna and producer Rachel Lysaght.
