Funeral Parade is proud to present The Crying Game, Neil Jordan’s erotic thriller about national, sexual, and gender identity.

An unlikely friendship develops between a kidnapped British soldier and his captor, an IRA volunteer named Fergus. When the hostage-taking ends up going horribly wrong, Fergus escapes and heads to London, where he seeks out and begins dating the soldier's lover, a hairdresser named Dil, who knows nothing about Fergus' IRA background. But there are some things about Dil that Fergus doesn't know either. The Crying Game is landmark moment on in on-screen transgender representation, as well as pulse-quickening thriller and a poignant love story – a film that’s ripe for rediscovery, and so much more than just a shocking twist.

This screening will feature an introduction from season curator Sarah Cleary and Jaye Hudson of TGirlsOnFilm.
