Welcome to GAZE: Ireland’s International LGBTQ+ Film Festival.
Every year since 1992 we have screened an eclectic programme of new international cinema that explores the experience of being an LGBTQ+ person.
We celebrate new queer storytelling and our exciting programme of screenings, talks and events engages audiences and artists in a vibrant social experience here in our home town of Dublin, Ireland.
We also curate select online film screenings that are available to the whole of Ireland.
We have been around since before homosexuality was decriminalised in Ireland, and we are still going strong with our vibrant community.
We are excited and honoured to receive your work.
Please note that upon submission to GAZE our film may be considered for a cinema screening, an online screening geo-blocked to Ireland only, or a gallery show.
We will not place any film without the express permission of its maker but if you decline inclusion in one portion of the festival we may not be able to place your work elsewhere.
From the films selected for our festival, the GAZE Jury will award prizes for:
Best Irish Short
Best International Short
Best Documentary
