GAZE: SHAME // LESS Director: Stephen Quinn, Noel Donnellon & Luke Faulkner 69 mins, Ireland, 2021, Digital Book cinema tickets From Monday September 6th, in line with government guidelines, all patrons must show proof of vaccination upon entering the cinema screen. Presented at the IFI, a mere stone’s throw from the iconic Boilerhouse gay sauna, Shame // Less is a cosmic cruise anchored by performance artist Stefan Fae and figures of Dublin’s creative queer underbelly including Lady K, Vickey Curtis, Pradeep Mahadeshwar and Attracta Tension to name but a few in this horn of plenty. In an Ireland that’s post-Marriage Equality, post-Repeal and a city engulfed in the power of the corporatocracy, what does it mean to be radically queer in this Brave New Éire? Shame // Less invites you to peer through the gloryhole and bear witness. Part cabaret, part performance art and, impressively, a response to the study ‘Culture and Sexual Risk: An Ethnographic Analysis of Gay Male “Sexual Worlds” in Ireland Today’ (for real), Shame // Less is a queer concoction for all of your chosen family. Screening as part of GAZE 2021, September 29th to October 3rd 2021. Director: Stephen Quinn, Noel Donnellon & Luke Faulkner 69 mins, Ireland, 2021, Digital
