SUMMARY:All The Feels!: Ultimate Queer Fanvid Playlist
DESCRIPTION:Fanvids are short films using music\, edited by fans in an expression of all the feels around their favourite fandoms. Even with today’s films and television bursting with more queer characters than ever\, we still fight for true recognition\, representation\, and stories that go beyond the sometimes disappointing and limiting storylines we are given. Every fanvid is a DIY work of art\, combining music and clever edits to celebrate favourite shows\, rework plots\, commiserate in collective sadness\, and whatever feels there are to be had! \nCurated by Tara Brown\, queer crip Black fat femme and Fringe! Queer film & arts fest and freelance film curator. \nClick here for Tara’s YouTube playlist. \nACCESS \nThis playlist has an age recommendation of N/C 12+. \nThe fanvids have English audio. Some have English language captions or a transcript. Transcript of the other vids coming soon. With apologies for the lack of captions on all videos thanks to YouTube removing the option for community captions. Click here to sign a petition for YouTube to reverse this decision. \nThe playlist is 34 minutes long. \nContent notes: Discussion of homophobia\, biphobia\, and racism; depiction of brief nudity\, sex\, violence\, and blood. \n\n\n\n\nThe videos in All the Feels!: Ultimate Queer Fanvid Playlist include some loud music and fast editing. \n\n\n\n\nWe have a limited access fund to assist people with no or limited internet access to attend the Festival.

SUMMARY:Sqifflix: More Love from Neelu
DESCRIPTION:Click here to access the full programme. \nOur special shorts programme More Love from Neelu showcases films by award-winning artist and filmmaker Neelu Bhuman\, whose feature film TRANSFINITE we are screening online 25 – 28 June. Neelu’s work explores social and political themes as they play out in close relations. Playfully evoking insights into the workings of difference in intimacy\, their films blend viewpoints ranging from race\, gender\, sexuality\, culture\, class\, and romance. \nIn FU377\, the dignity of queer people in India is under attack through Section 377\, which the Supreme Court had recently re-introduced\, re-criminalising ‘gay sex\,’ when the film was made in 2014. Meanwhile\, an adorable Indian mother is totally down with gay sex and wheels out some choice lines for her heartbroken queer daughter in an effort to cheer her up. \nMore Love. Less Prepackaged Bullshit. (2017) is set to the soul beat of Assata Shakur\, and features a trio resisting dystopia with a bowl of joy\, intimacy\, and love. \nNeelu’s 2016 short ṣadāqa is a kaleidoscopic view of friendship transcending borders. \nAll films have English language subtitles or captions. See notes for below for each film’s language/s\, level of accessibility for blind and partially sighted people\, age recommendation\, content notes\, and if the film contains flashing lights or sound levels that might be disturbing for some. These notes are also found on each film’s page on vimeo. \nThe films are all free to watch with thanks to Neelu Bhuman. Click here to donate to LGBT Unity Scotland to support LGBTQIA+ refugees\, asylum seekers\, and other migrants.

The scorching IPC Section 377 is re-unleashed to police to criminalise “gay sex” in India. While the law and the Supreme Court dated themselves back a few hundred years\, an adorable Indian mother has her knowledge of “gay sex” in mint condition\, wheeling out a tidbit or two for her heartbroken queer daughter in an effort to cheer her up.

SUMMARY:Sqifflix & Chill
DESCRIPTION:Click here to access the full programme. \nOur shorts programme Sqifflix & Chill\, as the title suggests\, includes a varied bunch of films about romantic love\, its joys\, pain\, and complexities. Sweet stories of intense connection are found in Selina Robertson’s Couple Time and Dickie Heart’s Passengers. Some of the painful and problematic aspects of love and dating are considered in Sam Berliner’s Dating Sucks about seeking love whilst trans\, and Rob Eagle’s Harding & his camera\, which investigates traces of illicit love in archives and the white gaze. Violent and oppressive structures that try to curtail who gets to be with who are the core of Adrian Garcia Gomez’s Mikveh about governments refusing to recognise certain relationships\, and Kiana Kalantar-Hormozi’s Poly Amour\, which decontructs conventional romantic structures. For a dark comedy approach to the madness that sometimes interferes with people’s love life\, Netflix & Chips is about a woman with a hot date who can’t get her chip shop job off her mind. \nAll films have English language subtitles or captions. See notes for below for each film’s language/s\, level of accessibility for blind and partially sighted people\, age recommendation\, content notes\, and if the film contains flashing lights or sound levels that might be disturbing for some.

SUMMARY:Sqifflix: Sexual Content Warning
DESCRIPTION:Click here to access the full programme. \nFor anyone after some slightly xxx-y content to make lockdown more pleasureable\, we bring you Sexual Content Warning.

SUMMARY:SQIFF Shorts: Gross Out
DESCRIPTION:With supposed tolerance and acceptance of LGBT people in western public life comes enforced sanitisation and respectability. Straight society pats itself on the back for allowing (some of) us to get married and feature in shiny corporate advertising but is still repelled by our bodies and sex lives. To counter the continued suppression of fleshly and carnal appetites and practices\, we went on a hunt for the grossest\, most yucky films we could find. Featuring experimental musing on why we find our bodies disgusting and scary; some gay sex-tinged body horror; literal shit in a variety of forms; and a performance involving an empty stomach and a large jar of honey. Please note this programme requires resilience for what some would consider stomach-churning and gruesome imagery. \nTickets are priced on a sliding scale £0-£8 depending on what you can afford. To book\, please use the button below or call CCA box office on +44 (0)141 352 4900. \n[bra_button text=’Buy Tickets’ url=’https://ccaglasgow.ticketsolve.com/shows/873611604/events/129089634′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nThis screening has an age recommendation of N/C 18+. \nFilms have English and Spanish audio with English language subtitles/captions. Hearing loop available. \nFilms are not very accessible to English-speaking blind and partially sighted audiences with a lot of visual storytelling and ideas and dark images.

Välja\, Country: UK\, Year: 2019\, Language/s: No spoken sound\nÄmber is an experimental film about the basic functions of the human body.

SUMMARY:Pink Excavation
DESCRIPTION:Pink Excavation is Natasha Lall’s first feature length film.

The film is a lo-fi\, sci-fi contemplation on the pros and cons of queer visibility. \nScreening with short Reality Fragment (14 mins) by Qigemu\, which examines how multiple lived worlds\, each their own mix of memories\, sensations\, and thoughts\, coexist with de facto presentations of distance\, history\, and totality.  \nTickets are priced on a sliding scale £0-£8 depending on what you can afford. To book\, please use the button below or call CCA box office on +44 (0)141 352 4900. \n[bra_button text=’Buy Tickets’ url=’https://ccaglasgow.ticketsolve.com/shows/873598301′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nFilms in the English language with English language subtitles/captions.
