Queer Vision are proud to partner with Film Bath with this screening of ‘Close to You’ from Director, Dominic Savage and starring Elliot Page.
A Post-film discussion and panel will feature live subtitling and BSL interpretation supported by BFI Film Audience Network, in collaboration with Sense and Accessibility, Switch and Queer Vision.
Elliot Page returns to the big screen in this unassuming, gentle, and sincerely heartfelt romantic drama. Close to You marks his first fiction film since 2017’s Flatliners remake, and co-stars Hillary Baack (Sound of Metal). Director Dominic Savage granted Page and Baack carte blanche to improvise significantly throughout the film; a naturalistic approach that allows the film to be consistent with the authentic, everyday language used by trans people and those in deaf/hard-of-hearing communities.
Page stars as a trans man who returns to his hometown for the first time in years. On his journey, he confronts his relationship with his family, reunites with a first love, and discovers a newfound confidence in himself.
