Queer Women in Love: Something Must Break (Dundee)

Shy Sebastian is in the process of working out their gender identity when they meet and fall for rebellious Andreas. Trans-identifying director Ester Martin Bergsmark’s (She Male Snails) first fictional feature is a visually stunning and emotionally intense look at romance and eroticism through the eyes of a young queer person.

Screening with short films Fingers and Dinner For Two. Fingers by Sandra Alland features a British Sign Language (BSL) poetry performance by Alison Smith about love, longing, and the sexiness of touch. Dinner For Two by Ami Nashimoto is a super cute musical in which a woman stresses over preparing something suitable and vaguely edible for her vegan, gluten-free-diet date.

Presented together with Dundee University Feminist Society. We are pleased Fingers‘ director Sandra Alland and writer and star Alison Smith will join us for a Q&A.

Rated 18.

Content note: depiction of transphobia, including slightly graphic transphobic violence; ambiguous scenes of sexual humiliation.
