EARLYBIRD
Ireland, 2025
In Donncha Gilmore’s feature debut, sparks fly and old wounds resurface when Trinity students Charli and Jace meet at a Halloween party in Dublin. Charli (Liath Hannon) is a bohemian trans filmmaker surrounded by creatives, while Jace (Adam Lunnon-Collery) is an introverted rugby player navigating his hyper-masculine world. When the party is shut down by the Gardaí, the two wander through Dublin’s glimmering streets, sharing their hopes and dreams for the future. But as they grow closer, a startling truth from their pasts comes to light, forcing Charli and Jace to confront their buried feelings and the identities they've outgrown. - Nathasha Orlando Kappler
