SUMMARY:Dream Access Focus Group SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:**Please note this event is now sold out. You can join a waiting list by clicking Buy Tickets below and we will contact you if a space becomes available** \nDisability provision is almost always a second thought even in places that are all about radical inclusivity – this is the case with queer spaces as well. This workshop is an opportunity to listen to advocates experiencing diverse disabilities\, and to find solutions for radical access provisions in a collaborative way. Documentation of the event\, in the form of a zine to share with SQIFF and other festivals\, will provide a community-based\, co created list of problems and suggested solutions\, prioritising input from excluded communities rather than theoretical ‘best practices.’ \nEvent led by Disabled activist Luke Murphy. Zine created by Dr of medieval queer+trans theology\, storyteller\, and zine-maker\, Jonah Coman. \nPlease note this workshop is intended for Deaf and Disabled participants. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets are free.

SUMMARY:Sqifflix: Vision Portraits

Eve McConnachie\, Year: 2019\nFrontiers questions traditional gendered roles in classical ballet by refusing to adhere to dated stereotypes: women powerfully command the space\, men intimately embrace each other. Frontiers contrasts the fluidity of the human form with the brutalist concrete motorways that cut through the heart of Glasgow. \nContent note: None. \nwe were always here (4m)\nDir. Michael Lee Richardson\, Garry Mac\, Year: 2019\nA queer reimagining of the working men’s club. A dance-powered journey through space and time. \nContent note: None. \nAcceptable Face (6m)\nDir: Holly Summerson\, Year: 2019\n“The sort of person who someone might say: ‘oh he’s gay\, but he’s lovely!’” Acceptable Face is an animated discussion about the ‘ideal’ respectable queer person. How would they look\, act\, and let people know that they’re not “that kind of gay”? Based on a series of interviews with LGBTQ+ people\, this experimental charcoal animation explores the pressure to be a ‘good example’\, and the joy of refusing to conform. \nContent note: Discussion of homophobia and transphobia. \nDix Pix (4m)\nDir. Steven Fraser\, Year: 2019\nDix Pix is a short animated documentary that looks at the gay male/trans/non-binary body and why it is common for people to send naked pictures via dating apps. The documentary takes an experimental approach in its visual style and tackles themes of masculinity\, queerness\, solitude\, and the body. \nContent note: Depiction of animated nudity and sex. \n2x+xy=1 (12m)\nDir. Wei Zhang\, Year: 2019\nWei Zhang’s practice is an experimental film created by multi post-production technologies\, including 3D animation. 2x+xy=1 is constructed by the abstract fluid matters and concrete polygons to display the feature of the non-binary and the binary\, the expression of emotion and the symbol of predicament. \nContent note: Depiction of nudity. \nNone of the Above (16m)\nDir. Siri Rødnes\, Year: 2018\nEmbarking upon a distinctly postmodern cyber experiment\, Cassie charts her dating odyssey on her personal vlog\, posting regular updates to her ever-growing number of followers. But when sensitive rendezvous footage goes viral\, she becomes a media pariah. \nContent note: Depiction of homophobia\, mental health issues\, and suicide (graphic). \nRoberta Cowell’s Story (1m)\nDir. Melissa J Clifford\, Year: 2019\nRoberta Cowell’s Story is a one minute short detailing the life and achievements of one of the most prolific British Trans Women of the 20th century.

Claire Clark\, Year: 2019\nWhat Is Happiness? is a British Sign Language poem shining a light on some of the elements of that impossible question and showcasing positive representation of BSL poetry as an art form. \nContent note: None. \nThe 16mb\, Future Sounds & A Mini City (15m)\nDir.

Lacking evidence\, he decides to photograph himself in the dark techno world of a queer underground scene. Based on accounts of real-life African LGBT refugees and the challenges they face during the asylum process\, Crypsis is a raw depiction of a grim reality obscured by vitriolic public debate about refugees and the broken system that surrounds them. \nContent note: Discussion of homophobic violence; depiction of trauma.

SUMMARY:Intersexion
DESCRIPTION:Is it a boy? Is it a girl? What if it’s neither? This award-winning doc explores the world of intersex people – those born with any one of a large number of variations that make their gender ambiguous according to traditional binary ideals. Presenter Mani Bruce Mitchell\, one of New Zealand’s first out intersex people\, and director Grant Lahood locate interviewees willing to share their experiences. They discuss living in a society with a restricted view of gender which\, at best\, has made them all but invisible and\, at worst\, has subjected many to damaging ‘corrective’ surgery. \nFollowed by a discussion with Joe Holliday from the UK’s first Intersex NGO Intersex UK and film critic and activist Jennie Kermode. \nACCESS: Level access at entrance with lift up to first floor for Theatre space. Accessible toilets on first floor (CCA). Film screening with subtitles for D/deaf and hard of hearing access. BSL interpretation for discussion. Audio description available. Film in English language.\n \n£5 / £4 conc / Free for unemployed and asylum seekers. Festival pass £40 / £30 conc. All prices include booking fee. \nTo book tickets\, 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/873562018/events’ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’]
