SUMMARY:GA(Y)MERS
DESCRIPTION:There is a freedom that comes with gaming; an ability to exist in another realm without necessarily leaving the real world. For some the realm of a game exists as an alternate reality and for others it synthesises with the physical world. For queer and trans gamers\, it can function as a space to trial and error other bodies. It can be a space to transition. And with that comes various highs and lows. From moments of ecstasy to steep learning curves to some uh…‘reality checks.’ \nGA(Y)MERS showcases a series of shorts on gender and gaming\, including Jamie Jankowic’s a woman on the internet. The screening will be followed by a Q&A on the films and the importance of virtual queer spaces. \nCurated by Nat Lall. This short film programme will also be available to rent online from SQIFF’s Vimeo on Demand channel 2 to 10 October. \nTickets are on a pay what you can sliding scale of FREE\, £2\, £4\, £6\, or £8. To book\, click the button below or call the CCA Box Office on 0141 352 4900. \n[bra_button text=’Buy Tickets’ url=’https://ccaglasgow.ticketsolve.com/shows/873627594′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nThis screening has an age recommendation of N/C 18+. \nEnglish audio with English language captions.

SUMMARY:Are you into emotional edging?
DESCRIPTION:Listen to this Event Page\n  \nJoin us for a journey of conscious and unconscious thoughts. This screening features distinct experimental shorts made by trans and non-binary people that focuses on the varied ways our community tell stories of forming and navigating relationships\, both digitally and in real life.  \nThe films in this programme utilise archival footage\, found footage\, digital glitch\, chemical abstraction\, digital animation\, layered imagery\, and direct animation to explore the telling of our stories. \nMilo Clenshaw will be hosting a panel discussion after the screening with special guests Hogan Seidel\, director of The Backside of God\, and Jamie Crewe\, director of A Luxury. \nCurated by Indigo Korres.\n \nTickets are on a pay what you can sliding scale of FREE\, £2\, £4\, £6\, £8\, or £10. To book\, click here or call the CCA Box Office on 0141 352 4900. \n  \nA Luxury (2021\, Dir. Jamie Crewe): A film commssioned by Edinburgh International Book Festival\, 2021\, in response to Shola Von Reinhold’s novel LOTE (2020). Made in homage to Curtis Harrington’s film The Wormwood Star (1956)\, a portrait of the artist Cameron\, the film finds Shola in the attic of Preston Hall\, Midlothian\, undergoing a transportation. A section of LOTE is read over churning abstract liquids\, and finally an escape. \nA Trans with a Movie Camera (2018\, Dir. Frances Damian Arpaia): A non-narrative cine-essay that collaboratively explores the potentials for trans-feminine representation in film. \nThe Backside of God (2020\, Dir. Hogan Seidel): The Backside of God is an experimental documentary utilizing archival footage\, digital glitch\, chemical abstraction\, and direct animation to explore the intricacies of the artist’s relationship with their familial\, religious\, and queer identity. \nBigger on the Inside (2022\, Dir. Angelo Madsen Minax): From an isolated wooded cabin a trans man star gazes\, scruff chats with guys\, watches youtube tutorials\, takes drugs\, and lies about taking drugs – feeling his way through a cosmology of embodiment. Relative to the immensity of longing\, the bodily insides become both portal and lens through which to probe the porousness between interior and exterior\, the micro and macro. Nudes and landscapes are equally erotic\, as Eros is an issue of boundaries: When i desire you\, a part of me is gone. \n  \nACCESSIBLITY  \nContent Warnings: \n\nDiscussion of transphobia\, misogyny\, religious views\, homophobia\, emotional edging\, mental health\, sex;\nDepiction of masturbation\, sex.\n\n\nAccess Notes: \n\nGlitchy imagery\n\nThis screening has an age recommendation of N/C 16+. \n61 minutes long with a Q&A after the screening. \nEnglish\, Latin\, Portuguese\, and Vietnamese audio and screens with English language captions. BSL-English interpretation and live captioning provided. \nAudio description available for the film.

DESCRIPTION:Listen to this Event Page\n  \n‘Not Quite That’ follows 57-year-old Sarah\, a butch lesbian predisposed to breast cancer. \nSarah discusses the implications of a mastectomy as a butch presenting person. She contemplates if people would perceive her as transmasculine and how that would make her feel. \nHer long-term close friends listen attentively and help her process the situation. The love and support shared by this group of old friends is heartwarming. A feel-good film for sure. \nThis film is followed by two shorts.

Ali Grant): Might a genetic mutation be the very thing that allows this nice Jewish butch lesbian to be fully seen at last? Meet Sarah\, 57. Lesbian? For sure. Jewish? Yes and no. Mother? In all but one sense. Trans? No\, just often mistaken as such. Breast cancer survivor? Well\, that’s the plan\, the survival bit\, but without the cancer or the breasts. Not Quite That is an intimate and insightful exploration of how we are seen\, how we see ourselves\, and why it matters. \nThe Ship Of Theseus  (2022\, Dir. Leo Torre): A creative trans self-documentary video exploring themes of early transition and gender rebirth using themes of mythology and the sea. \nPatricia in the Dark (2023\, Dir.

SUMMARY:Adam’s Apple
DESCRIPTION:Listen to this Event Page\n  \nAdam’s Apple is an intimate\, collaborative documentary told through the dual perspectives of Adam\, a transgender teen\, and his mother\, visual artist Amy Jenkins\, that offers an authentic and tender counterpoint to the hostility facing trans youth today. Adam’s journey balances the milestones of gender transition with the rhythms of adolescence. As Adam asserts his identity and steps out into the world\, his parents grapple with the challenges of raising a teen while learning to let go. Through a visually poetic approach\, the film transforms a deeply personal archive\, collected over two decades\, into a powerful\, joyful testament to the beauty and difficulty of reckoning with profound change. \nAfter the screening\, Adam Sieswerda will join SQIFF Director Indigo Korres in conversation. \nPresented in partnership with Scottish Documentary Institute. \n  \nClick here to book your ticket for this event. \nTickets are on a pay what you can sliding scale of FREE\, £4\, £8\, £12\, £16\, or £20\, in order to make SQIFF more accessible to those on a low income.

SUMMARY:Closing Gala: Hunky Jesus
DESCRIPTION:Listen to this Event Page\n  \nJoin us for the closing event of the Scottish Queer International Film Festival as we celebrate another year of exceptional queer cinema. This year’s closing film is Hunky Jesus\, a documentary capturing the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence’s iconic take on Easter Sunday. The sisters celebrate Easter with a massive drag competition in which people compete to be the hunkiest Jesus. It documents how community and camp can be powerful tools for resistance and solidarity. Essentially it’s an extremely fun\, silly work of queer cinema. It’s a guaranteed mood booster. And\, a fantastic way to wrap up another great year of SQIFF.
  \nThe film will be followed by a panel discussion with House of Nunsense\, Glasgow’s own chapter of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.  \nThe winner of Best Scottish Short will be announced at the start of this event. Please join us in congratulating the winner and all our filmmakers on another year of SQIFF. \nCurated by Nat Lall. \n  \nClick here to book your ticket for this event. \nTickets are on a pay what you can sliding scale of FREE\, £4\, £8\, £12\, £16\, or £20\, in order to make SQIFF more accessible to those on a low income.
