One of this year’s most anticipated films comes early across Ireland this month.
To celebrate Pride month, MUBI & GAZE Film Festival are delighted to present special preview screenings of Crossing, a heartfelt vision of forgiveness from acclaimed director Levan Akin (And Then We Danced, Sweden’s 2019 Academy Award® entry). Audiences can enjoy an exclusive first look of the award-winning Crossing in Dublin, Galway and Cork on June 23rd and in Belfast on June 27th, ahead of the film’s cinema release on July 19th.
Crossing is described as a moving, compassionate tale of identity, acceptance and unlikely connection that transcends borders and generations. Lia, a retired school teacher living in Georgia, hears from a young neighbour Achi that her long lost niece Tekla, a transgender woman, has crossed the border into Turkey. Hoping to bring Tekla home after a period of estrangement, Lia travels to Istanbul with the unpredictable Achi to find her. Exploring the hidden depths of the city, they cross paths with a transgender lawyer called Evrim, who helps them in their search. Humanistic and tender, Akin’s third feature is a heartfelt portrayal of overcoming the degrees of separation that divide us.
Tickets are available now in Dublin, Cork, Galway and Belfast for these advance screenings.
