The Virgin Media Dublin International Film Festival is on the way, and there’s a veritable smorgasbord of queer cinematic delicacies to feast your eyes on. Running from February 26 to March 8, the Festival will welcome films and their makers from across the world to touch down in Dublin for two weeks of filmic splendour.

So what treats can fans of LGBT+ movies expect to see?

Ireland will be well represented with a screening of Rialto - an adaptation of writer Mark O’Halloran’s play Trade. Directed by Peter Mackie Burns, Tom VaughanLawlor plays Colm, a man struggling with the death of his destructive father and other personal crises. Unable to confide in loved ones, he seeks solace in the arms of a young male prostitute, putting family life at even greater risk.
