About this event
DIRECTOR: LEE COOPER : 78 mins, UK, 2021, Digita
After fifty years in the business, David Raven still performs as Maisie Trollette, making him Britain’s oldest drag performer. David will soon celebrate his 85th and plans for a special birthday performance are under way. But as his birthday grows nearer, his anxieties grow, and professional rivalries flare up. David must contend with the unique challenges that old age brings. He has recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, but ever the professional, Maisie plans to give the performance of a lifetime as she looks back on a half century of entertaining. Featuring classics such as ‘Lady is a Tramp’, and ‘If I Never Sing another Song’, Maisie was awarded Best Documentary at the 2021 Virgin Media Dublin Film Festival by the Dublin Film Critics’ Circle.

About the organiser
Organised by
Jenny Keogh / THE DOCUMENTARY ROOMThe Documentary Room (originally The Rialto Cinema Club) is the only cinema night in Ireland dedicated to the documentary film genre. It was set up in early 2020 by Jenny Keogh and John McMahon. The premise of the fort-nightly cinema night is to show feature length documentary films focusing on music, art and culture, with a lean towards Irish directors and a healthy sprinkling of International directors.
Jenny is a photographer, filmmaker and an avid film festival goer, with a particular passion for the documentary genre. She programs the films and hosts the cinema night – she gives an introduction offering some information about the film and the director and there is room afterwards for audience members to ask questions or chat about the film. With pizza and drinks available at the venue, it makes for a unique cinema experience in the cozy event room. Jenny sees it as an opportunity to share with audiences a dynamic range of documentaries that often only get shown at film festivals or a short run in mainstream cinemas.
Jenny also runs her own video production business called Stand Out Films, creating content for Artists, Educators and Creative `Businesses.
John is the events manager at The Circular Rialto, and has be a great supporter of the cinema night from the start, by offering it a regular slot throughout the Autumn and Winter months.
