SQIFF Schools: The Year We Thought About Love
September 24, 2015 @ 1:00 pm - 2:45 pm
Free
An LGBTQ youth theatre group tour schools in Boston performing shows based on their own personal struggles. Amongst those telling their stories are a transgender teen who has been kicked out her home, a young Christian man challenging his church’s homophobia, and a girl who is bullied for not being feminine enough. A brave, funny, and inspiring look at the lives of queer youths.
LGBT Youth Scotland will host a discussion after the film on young LGBTQ people’s lives and experiences.
The event is suitable for Secondary 1 – 6. The CCA is a fully wheelchair accessible venue. The film is in English and will screen with English subtitles to make the event more accessible for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. There will also be a BSL interpreter available for the introduction and discussion.
Content note: discussion of homophobia, transphobia, and racism; non-graphic discussion of violence.
The event is free for all schools and we are also making free buses available for Glasgow City Council schools. To book a place, email [email protected] with the name of your school and the teacher supervising the trip, the number and year/age of pupils you would like to bring, and whether there are accessibility requirements for anyone attending. Please also let us know if you are a GCC school and would like to make use of a free bus.
