How To Tell A Secret brandishes the documentry form and art to try to dismantle the stigma of living with HIV that still persists in society. The film honours the past and the iconic Thom McGinty, the Diceman, who was one of the first to speak openly in Ireland about having AIDS but, other than that, it’s very firmly rooted in the here and now. Based on a theatre show, the stories in this film move between bodies of young men, migrant women, drag artists and activists. A form-flipping documentary, it features a cast of actors as well as ordinary people coming out on screen for the first time.

This screening and the filmmaker's appearance at the festival are made possible by the Consulate General of Ireland in Austin.

The Featured Sponsor for this screening is KIND Clinic.
