2019 Programme
True to Life – Best British Shorts 1
Through documentary and drama these 4 films bring real life stories to the screen
Through documentary and drama these four films bring real life stories to the screen, exploring the LGBT+ community’s activism and its struggles against prejudice and authority. From the account of a drag performer living with HIV in Northern Ireland to a re-enactment of Berlin’s cabaret scene under the shadow of Fascism, they shine a light on people and events which are all too often consigned to the footnotes of history.
