SUMMARY:SQIFF Shorts: Luv Sucks
DESCRIPTION:Romantic relationships can be tough. SQIFF offers up an alternative to punching walls and texting your ex when pished with these shorts from the heart – as in stomping all over it and dumping it in the trash.

The vast power of the cosmos can’t prevent a bickering lesbian couple from breaking up. A sex worker has his hopes dashed by the man he loves. And in 2033 Botswana\, a man loses his lover to dystopian despair. \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/873611637/events/129089814′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nThis screening has an age recommendation of N/C 15+. \nFilms have a mixture of Arabic\, English\, Spanish\, Portuguese\, and Tswana audio and BSL with English subtitles/captions.

Vex Ashley & Four Chambers\, Year: 2017\nThe period of time when the sun falls below the horizon line and tears of blue and orange gradiate the sky. I’ve always called this indigo hour but apparently it’s more commonly called blue hour and the Scottish call it the gloaming. \nThe indigo in the sky isn’t exactly black or blue\, it’s not quite day or night. It exists in a gap\, without definition. \nZombie Queer Punk Urban Post Porn Horror Show (5m)\nDir. Tchivett\, Year: 2017\nBasically a crazy romp through industrial Berlin by porn stars made up as zombies\, all of them licking and humping anything in sight like they’re fresh brains.

SUMMARY:Dykes\, Camera\, Action! + BOOM BUST: Feminist Filmmakers Blowing Up the Canon
DESCRIPTION:Lesbians didn’t always get to see themselves on screen.

Ruby Rich\, and others share moving and often hilarious stories from their lives and discuss how they’ve expressed queer identity through film. \nWith a special presentation from curator Jenny Clarke (Club des Femmes)\, who brings their feminist film toolkit to SQIFF. With wise words and talking points from feminist filmmakers and critics from around the globe\, So will set out why things need to change\, and what we – as viewers\, critics\, programmers\, and activists – can learn and do to take down mainstream cinema\, while having ‘dykes\, camera\, action’-inspired fun on the way. \nPresented in partnership with Glasgow Feminist Arts Festival. \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/873597116′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nFilm in the English language with English language subtitles/captions.

SUMMARY:SQIFF Shorts: Bodies and Borders
DESCRIPTION:The most urgent issues surrounding identity and oppression revolve around bodies and borders. In Being Okey\, a gay Nigerian man is denied asylum in Switzerland and consequently caught between the constant fear of being sent home and hope of a life in safety. ABEO is an animation by Latinx artist Brenda M. Lopez Zepeda depicting the journey of two immigrants risking their lives to cross the Arizona desert. My Shoreline is an experimental film-poem about a disabled queer body in water\, and My Own Wings documents intersex people from around the world. Working class queer bodies and class borders are forefronted in Krissy Mahan’s All in a Day’s Work and the implication of supposed sexual boundaries is explored in Patricia Silva’s bisexual ode\, A Feeling More Than a Picture. Finally\, legendary lesbian filmmaker Barbara Hammer’s new short\, Evidentiary Bodies\, is a plea for empathy and compassion generated through the viewing of other beings.  \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/873598338/events/128819651′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nFilms in English and Spanish languages with English language subtitles/captions.

SUMMARY:Looking Awry: Representing Bisexual* Desires On Screen
DESCRIPTION:In LGBT+ politics and activism bisexual people are often left out of the conversation. To consider bisexual people – our lives\, our desires\, and the difficulties we face – enriches our understanding of sexuality\, foregrounding issues that we otherwise might not consider. This is eye-opening when considering cinematic representations of bisexuality. Taking a ride through cinema’s invocations of bisexuality\, from well-known Hollywood neonoir thrillers to underground queer filmmaking to the extremities of European art cinema\, let’s take a moment to consider representations of bisexual desire on screen. \nPresented by Jacob Engelberg\, programmer of Brighton-based queer film strand\, Eyes Wide Open Cinema. In partnership with Queer Film Network UK & Ireland. \nACCESS: Level access at entrance of CCA with Cinema space on ground floor. Accessible toilets available. BSL interpretation for event. Hearing loop. \nContent note: discussion of sexual assault and suicide. \nTicket prices on a sliding scale according to your circumstances. Choose between FREE\, £2\, £4\, £6\, or £8 (prices include CCA booking fee) according to what you can afford. See our ticketing information for more details. \nTo 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/873580437/events’ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’]
