How do feminist and queer identities operate in contemporary Belfast? Let Us Be Seen is a documentary film that presents the work and ideas of individuals on the ground in Belfast, who have campaigned tirelessly for change and continue to do so. On 21st October 2019, abortion was decriminalised and same-sex marriage legalised in Northern Ireland. This important law change however has shed light on more nuanced barriers facing people locally.

Familiar images of a security blockade in 1970s Belfast are reimagined as a scenario in which invisible queer lives are out and about.

A tour of queer spaces past and present in Belfast and beyond.
