SQIFF Shorts: Queer Scotland II
October 2, 2016 @ 1:30 pm - 3:10 pm
We present another selection of LGBTQ+ work made in Scotland, representing a variety of styles, subject matter, and identities. A non-conforming eight year old challenges gender expectations, childhood trauma is explored by a trans woman, wedding day fears and fantasies are divulged across a generation, and a bisexual daughter finds solidarity with her trans parent amongst the stories told in this collection.
We hope to be joined by a number of the filmmakers for a Q&A. There will be a prize for Best Scottish Short with the winner gaining automatic nomination to Iris Prize Festival‘s 2017 Best British Short award and a festival pass for Glasgow Short Film Festival 2017.
