The fabulous account of six years in the lives of East London’s most celebrated alternative drag performers, Dressed As A Girl dazzled, surprised and outraged audiences on release earlier this year.
Filmed over a six year period starting at Glastonbury’s infamous Block 9 NYC Downlow in 2009, the gender-bending, mind mashing, alternative night of dance-fuelled hedonism, the film is both a record of a fascinating style of hyper-costumed performance and an insight into the complex personal live...

What a year 2015 was for LGBT films. So many great films shown on cinema screens as trans issues were put in the spotlight and gay marriage became legal in UK and USA. So it's a real honour many of the top LGBT film lists have included Dressed as a Girl in their top film lists.
Huffington Post's Adam Groffman steered away from mainstream releases for his '5 Best Gay Films of 2015' list opting to include the ultra low budget Dressed as a Girl. Groffman comments, "for anyone with a slightly passing in...

Familiar themes such as parental acceptance and the threat of HIV crop up, but director Colin Rothbart handles the material sensitively and kee...

SIGHT & SOUND REVIEW OF DRESSED AS A GIRL
Reviewed by Hannah McGill
These are complex times where gender identity is concerned.

Colin Rothbart’s dispatch from London’s flourishing drag community initially threatens to be all tits and teeth: a whirlwind tour of a scene that needs scant encouragement to pop on a frock and extensively self-document. Once the film-maker returns to his subjects off-hours, however, he identifies as much subtle and cherishable variation as there is among birds of paradise. There’s Scottee, for whom drag is a confessional, often confrontational form of performance art, and Amber (formerly Dean), whos...
