SUMMARY:Ways Through
DESCRIPTION:Listen to this Event Page\n  \nWhat does it mean to move through a world that was not built with you in mind? \nFrom Lagos roads and Cape Town Ubers to fairytale worlds and films that refuse to stay cancelled\, these works find different ways through structures of isolation\, exploitation and erasure. Sometimes movement offers escape; elsewhere it becomes survival\, imagination\, or simply the possibility of speaking on your own terms. \nThis programme is presented in collaboration with Jali Collective\, a grassroots collective based in Edinburgh dedicated to widening access to African cinema and celebrating and elevating Black\, African and diaspora stories through film and culture. Jali curates screenings\, festivals\, workshops and events that bring Black\, African and diaspora cinema to audiences. \nCurated by Carmen Thomson\, Huss\, Isabel Moura Mendes\, and Tomiwa Folorunso. Presented in partnership with Jali Collective. \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.

Loren Loubser\, Gabe Gabriel\, 2025\, South Africa\, United Kingdom\, 9 min. \nSoft-spoken transmasc driver Toni navigates Cape Town’s divided streets in their late father’s vintage Daimler. When a blonde dreadlocked digital nomad unloads a traumatic story\, something takes root in the backseat. As the increasingly possessed car turns on Toni and girlfriend Amanda\, karmic justice takes the wheel. \nContent notes: Depiction of death. \n  \nA Black Fairytale\, Dirs.

Gaël Kamilindi\, 2026\, Rwanda\, France\, Switzerland\, 20 min. \nPrevented from making his film\, a director reinvents its images elsewhere\, with another actor. As they search for each other\, cinema becomes an act of love and intimate poetic resistance. \nAccess notes: Flashing lights. \nContent notes: Depiction of cigarette use. Discussion of grief\, homophobia\, sex. \n  \nDonate: \nDonate to SQIFF via PayPal or sign up to one of our four Patreon tiers to support our work and show us you’re a big SQIFF fan 🌈✨ \n  \nSupported by Screen Scotland\, the BFI Audience Projects Fund and Film Hub Scotland (part of the BFI Film Audience Network)\, all awarding National Lottery funding. \n  \nImage Credit: A Black Fairytale\, Dirs.
