Selected Highlights
Film: Ponyboi
Description
Neon lights, drug busts, cowboy hats and a sleazy Dylan O’Brien – what’s not to love?
UK & IRISH PREMIERE
Unfolding over the course of Valentine’s Day in New Jersey, an intersex sex worker runs from the mob after a drug deal goes sideways.
Intersecting identity crises culminate in this fast-paced queer thriller, revelatory in its intersex representation and a critically acclaimed performance by writer and star, River Gallo, as the anonymous Ponyboi.
Beautifully grounded in a sense of place, space and reality, and with a gorgeous turn from gay fave Murray Bartlett (The Last of Us, The White Lotus), Ponyboi indulges fans of the thriller-comedy while also exploring the reluctant catharsis of confronting a haunted past.
A UK and Ireland premiere here at Outburst Queer Arts Festival, this highly anticipated sophomore feature, adapted from the award-winning short film of the same name, revels in its stylised, ambitious queering of the neo-noir, leading to a highly entertaining 24 hours on the East Coast.
