SQIFF Queer Screening: Edinburgh Takeover with Edinburgh Arts Festival & Rhubaba
March 18 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Free
Join EAF, Rhubaba, and SQIFF (Scottish Queer International Film Festival) for an evening of queer short film screenings curated by Nat Lall. The screenings will be accompanied by a panel discussion with Scottish QTIBPOC filmmakers, as well as food.
All of the short films in the screening are taken from the SQIFF 2024 programme, aiming to bring a bit of the festival’s queer magic from Glasgow to Edinburgh. The selected films highlight a range of techniques and genres in queer filmmaking, including digital animation, text-based film, collage and live-action.
All of the selected films are either directed by and/or have a central focus on QTIBPOC. This event aims to spotlight and celebrate queer people of colour in film. It will explore filmmaking techniques, community initiatives and future hopes for people of colour in queer film with a panel discussion after the screenings. The event will end with chatting over food and drink provided by the festival.
Come to feast, watch and relax in queer community!
