Skin to Skin / Doc-Fiction Hybrid / Ireland / 2021
Synopsis:
In bedrooms and on couches. Late at night and in the early hours of the morning. Strangers, acquaintances and casual flings open up to each other - revealing their most private, occasionally uplifting, sometimes shameful parts of themselves in the fleeting intimacy after a sexual encounter.
Skin to Skin is an experimental documentary exploring the beautifully messy relationship between intimacy and LGBTQ+ hook-up culture, offering a dreamy, kaleidoscopic journey into the real lives and stories of Ireland’s vibrant LGBTQ+ community.
Premiered on Nownesss.
