28th of June 2023 | "Where do all the old gays go?" wins LUMI Award at Docs Ireland

"Where Do All The Old Gays Go?" has been awarded the LUMI award by the LUMI Programmers- a group of dedicated 18-26 year old film fans and young programmers at the Queen's Film Theatre.

The award is given to the short film that the programmers believe has the greatest impact on young audiences while also taking into consideration films that have been innovative in their approach to filmmaking. 

Here is what the programmers had to say about "Where Do All The Old Gays Go?": 

'We believe this film has made a huge impact on young audiences by offering fresh perspectives from older members of the LGBTQAI+ community while raising engaging questions about activism, heteronormative healthcare, and youth-focused queer culture. We felt inspired by the positivity of the film and admired the fact that it was created during the pandemic, showing incredible innovation in overcoming practical challenges.'
