ROMEOS & HOLD ON TIGHT
We are thrilled to present as our Opening Gala Film, Romeos’ not only a brilliant and hugely entertaining story, but also a film of great courage alongside Hold On Tight
Lukas has just turned 20 and he’s ready to get out and find some action. Launching himself into a new life in the big city he suddenly finds himself with a new circle of friends, among them the trashy and totally hot, Fabio, who exudes masculinity through every pore and embodies the kind of self-confidence that Lukas lacks.
The two begin to get closer, but Lukas has a huge secret that he has yet to share with Fabio – he was born a girl. Only his best girlfriend, Ine, knows what’s really going on and she’s starting to get tired of Lukas being such a lad.
Romeos touches a nerve in all of us. A sexy, crowd-pleasing drama that’s both comedic and serious at the same time, packed with fantastic characters and performances, it’s an incredibly well-made and inspiring film about how we’re all living double lives to one degree or another.
The winning entry, Hold on Tight from director Anna Rodgers and producer ZlataFilipovic will have its world premiere as part of our Opening Night Gala at The Screen Cinema on Thursday, July 28 at 8:30pm.
The film is a gorgeous, intimate documentary about displays of affection between same- sex couples. Holding hands or kissing in public isn’t for everyone. When it comes to same-sex relationships, showing your love outside of the home is sometimes a complicated personal choice. Yet, for most people, being affectionate beyond the hall door isn’t intended as a political statement – it’s an expression of love. Beautifully shot by award wining cinematographer Kate McCullough, the film transports us from a private world outside into the streets, bars, trains and parks in which Irish lesbian and gay couples live their daily lives.
