TITE
Trans Image/Trans Experience
Thursday, 15 April 2027 until Sunday, 18 April 2027
Trans Image/Trans Experience (TITE) Film Festival is Ireland's festival of trans and non-binary cinema, taking place each April in the Light House Cinema!
TITE 2027 takes place 15-18 April 2027.
Through screenings of short and feature films from Ireland and the international trans filmmaking community, TITE aims to shift the focus of trans film from representation to craft, championing trans and non-binary filmmakers and fostering lasting connections between artists and audiences.
TITE seeks to expand audiences' understandings of trans cinema through a unique festival of exciting and engaging film, from mainstream cinema to fringe DIY filmmaking.
A Festival Juror is invited to watch a number of films from the festival programme shortlisted by Team TITE, and select a winner for:
- Best Irish Short (2026 winner: PHOBOSPLUNKER, dir. Bee Mulvihill)
- Best International Short (2026 winners: Rat Trap, dir. Anaïs Alias & Avery Jaye, RAT+CAMMIE=FOREVER, dir. Marissa Sean Cruz)
- Best Feature Film (2026 winner: October Crow, dir. Jack Haven)
The juror may decide to add a number of Special Jury Awards in consultation with Team TITE.
TITE audiences vote throughout the festival to select a winner for:
- Audience Award for Best Feature Film (2026 winner: Divine Hammer, dir. the m sisters)
- Audience Award for Best Short Film (2026 winners: Purebred, dir. Caleb J. Roberts, How To Find A Career That Loves You Back, dir. Ethernet Wang)
And Team TITE internally selects a winner for:
