Rose's House

Martine Rose, in a white curly wig and beaded dress, sits at a dimly lit table with a glass of wine.

Synopsis

In 1979, when there was almost no support for trans lives, Martine Rose renovated a rundown terrace in Sheffield, UK, and opened it to anyone who needed it. Through previously unseen archive and Martine's own account, ROSE'S HOUSE uncovers a largely forgotten chapter of queer history, moving between past and present to trace what she built, and what remains.

Director: May Abdalla, Barry Gene Murphy

Year: 2026

Hello You is an autopsy of your reflection. This mirror has two sides: one that observes, and another that follows. Exploring stories of altered perception, from phantom limbs to the feeling of being a stranger in your own body, the experience stretches the split-second act of self-recognition into something you can watch unfold. Here you are asked not to look at yourself, but at the lenses through which you look.
