Shame//Less

Tue 05 July / Town Hall Theatre / 22:00

2021 / Ireland / 69 min / Documentary

From award-winning theatre and performance maker Stefan Fae, Shame//Less is an artistic response to the findings of “Culture and Sexual Risk: An Ethnographic Analysis of Gay Male ‘Sexual Worlds’ in Ireland Today.”

“Dublin history, Irish LGBTQ+ history, song, poetry, comedy and more are all part of this wonderful queer variety show of a film.” — WF

Shot in Dublin’s iconic Boilerhouse sauna, Shame//Less transports the viewer on a kaleidoscopic cruise through Dublin’s queer underbelly. The film invites you to peer through the glory hole of post-marriage equality Dublin and see if you like it like that. Does that feel good? How about there? Careful now, you might even enjoy it.

Followed by Q&A with directors Stephen Quinn, Noel Donnellon & Luke Faulkner, and Chair of Galway Community Pride 2022, Rob Partridge.
