Disappear Here Film Club at Inishowen Pride

 

The Disappear Here Film Club presented by ChangeMakers Dongeal and Disappear Here Film Festival will appear at the Inishowen Pride Festival on Friday 2 June 2023 at 7:30pm at The Exchange, Inishowen in Buncrana.

Michael McLaughlin has chosen five short films to reflect LGBTQ+ stories. The short films will be followed by a post-film discussion featuring Orla Walsh, the Director of the film Bent out of Shape about a gay punk working in a video shop.

We are using Eventbrite to process bookings, predict seating requirements therefore the ticket price says free but note the entry to the film and post-screening discussion costs €7.50 and all proceeds go to the ‘Donegal Documentary Fund’, to help raise awareness of socio-political and environmental issues in the county.
