Girls & Boys - Members' Screening

WINNER - BEST IRISH INDEPENDENT FEATURE - GALWAY FILM FLEADH

Girls & Boys tells the story of rugby player Jace (Adam Lunnon-Collery) meeting aspiring filmmaker Charlie (Liath Hannon) at a college party. Both attend Trinity, but their worlds couldn’t be more different—Charlie is trans, her circle full of queer artists and creatives, while Jace sticks with the more straight-laced camaraderie of his rugby teammates. When the party is suddenly shut down by the Guards, the two find themselves alone in the streets of nighttime Dublin. As they wander the city, sharing secrets, dreams, and fears about life after college, a surprising revelation from their shared past threatens to upend their fragile connection. Jace must confront not only his past, but the social identity he’s long taken for granted.

Girls & Boys is written and directed by Donncha Gilmore and produced by Gearóid Gilmore with backing from Fís Eireann/Screen Ireland.

Break Out Pictures will release Girls & Boys in Irish cinemas from September 19.
