Ashly Isac, PhD student in the School of English at DCU, presents TRANS IMAGE/TRANS EXPERIENCE (TITE), Ireland’s first festival of trans and non-binary cinema, taking place 25th-27th April 2025 at the Light House Cinema!

Through screenings of short and feature films from Ireland and the international trans filmmaking community, TITE aims to shift the focus of trans film from representation to craft, championing trans and non-binary filmmakers and fostering lasting connections between artists and audiences. This year’s festival proudly presents 8 feature films, 40 shorts, a workshop, filmmaker Q&As, and more to be announced. From award-winning Sundance darlings to low budget DIY extravaganzas, soft-spoken dramas to hyperpop explosions, dozens of Irish premieres and a special archive screening from 1989; whatever you picture when you think about ‘trans film’, think again.
