With just days to go, until the First Frame Event of the Dublin International Film Festival is taking place at the Millennium Theatre, TUS, below is a featurette of the short documentary ‘Dungeons & Dreams’. Produced by the 2nd Years of the Creative Broadcast & Film Production programme at LSAD, TUS, the story features Kéno McMahon, who with others use the table top game Dungeons and Dragons to explore questions of identity and gender.
The featurette was produced by Film CEL, the in-house production unit at TUS.
