HOSTILE ARCHITECTURE | CORK INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ⭐️

I’m thrilled to announce that HOSTILE ARCHITECTURE will be screening in competition for the Grand Prix Irish Short Award and the Best Cork Short Award at the 71st Cork International Film Festival. 

As a Cork woman, I’m so happy to be able to return to my home county to screen a film so near and dear to my heart. I came out as trans (and got into film) after moving to Dublin, so I feel quite emotional getting to share something so personal and truthful where I grew up.

A @jaxbanded and @colettes.garage in association with @pinkeye_pictures and with support from @fingalartsoffice.

I want to once again thank the cast and crew of HOSTILE ARCHITECTURE from the bottom of my heart, and I’d like to thank everyone who contributed to our fundraisers. None of this would have been possible without your support and love.

Enjoy our extended trailer for the film created by @townmice with a sample of our delicious score from the inimitable @murkyanyango!

HOSTILE ARCHITECTURE — WORLD PREMIERE 

I’m delighted to announce that HOSTILE ARCHITECTURE will be having its World Premiere screening in competition at the 26th Belfast Film Festival!
Enjoy our first teaser for the film to celebrate this big news ❤️

Thank you to the @belfastfilmfestival team for this titillating blurb (and for screening our romance horror on Halloween! 🎃) —
“As Dublin cannibalises itself out to private interests and shady corporations, two trans lovers find an unexpected solution to the Irish housing crisis. It may not be permanent, but it’ll do for the night. Sexy and surreal, the film dives into the phantasmagoric unknown of mystic ‘third spaces’ and the innate horror of trying to live in a city that doesn’t care about you.”

A @jaxbanded and @colettes.garage with support from @fingalartsoffice.

I want to thank the cast and crew of HOSTILE ARCHITECTURE from the bottom of my heart, and I’d like to thank everyone who contributed to our fundraisers. This wouldn’t have been possible without ye.

If you can’t make the Belfast screening, watch this space for more announcements… that’s all I’ll say for now.

I’m so excited to reveal the poster for HOSTILE ARCHITECTURE, designed by our very own @townmice with a sexy, thrilling still straight from the film.

“Without a place of their own, trans lovers Grace and Billy find intimacy in an extra-dimensional room; but just like the city outside, the room itself threatens to swallow them whole.”

We’re in the final stages of post-production with support from Fingal County Council and we’re eager to begin our festival submissions. Keep an eye on my account for updates about the premiere and further screenings, and let us know which festivals near you we should share the film with!

We’re so excited to release this film into the world. I’ve had an incredible creative journey this year from the shoot to these final weeks and I’m so grateful to every team member who’s made it happen. HOSTILE ARCHITECTURE is truly one of a kind and these are the people who brought it to life:
