LGBT Pride Movie Recommendation #9
How to Survive a Plague (dir. David France, 2012)
Also recommend: We Were Here, another documentary that examines the AIDS crisis. France’s followup to Plague, The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson is also exceptional.
We headed to the 26th edition of the GAZE film festival in Ireland to take a look at queer identity on today’s silver screen
“This is the 26th year of the GAZE international LGBT film festival in Ireland. Every summer, the festival curates a selection of the most important queer films of the past year, showing a range of award-winning pieces from other festivals like Berlinale, as well as some exclusive Irish premieres. “When GAZE Film Festival (then the Dublin Gay and Lesbian Film Festival) was first established, homosexuality was still criminalised in Ireland”, the festival’s programmer Roisin Geraghty tells Dazed. “From these rather radical roots, GAZE has become a significant international player on the LGBT film festival circuit, promoting greater visibility of queer artistic voices on screen and celebrating the power of LGBT stories.”
This year’s festival put a specific spotlight on Australian queer film, honouring the parallels between Ireland and Australia’s recent marriage equality battles. Ireland in the past five years has been a place of constant, progressive, political upheaval, and now as the dust settles, it’s the perfect setting in which to get a snapshot of queer identity in 2018. What are our anxieties, our fears, our hopes for the future? Here are five of the best from the festival.
