Get this film made people…
The Queen Of Ireland is the latest feature documentary from Bl!nder Films, an Irish independent production company who have teamed up with writer and director Conor Horgan to bring us the story of Panti Bliss.
Created by Rory O’Neill, Panti is also an accidental activist and, in her own words “a court jester, whose duty is to say the un-sayable.” Over the last few years, Rory has become a fantastic figurehead for LGBT rights in Ireland and since the recent scandal around Pantigate, his fight for equality and against homophobia has been recognised all around the world.
As the filmmakers themselves explain, The Queen Of Ireland is not just about Panti Bliss the performer, or Rory O’Neill the accidental activist. It is about how one man in a dress has mobilized a nation and an international community to stand up and fight against injustice.
