SUMMARY:Sanctuary shorts in association with SQIFF + Q+A
DESCRIPTION:This community-curated programme* explores the acceptance of identity\, self\, and of the world around us\, while highlighting the universal experience of being queer–with a special focus on being lesbian. The films’ instinctive narratives show the lows of being ‘othered’\, and the highs of finding a safe space within that\, no matter what age\, country\, or time period. Join us for powerfully diverse stories\, told with heart\, honesty\, and a perfect amount of humour. You’ll leave the event with a new community of queer film-lovers: your very own sanctuary. \n*Back in July\, Sanctuary collaborated with SQIFF producer and co-founder Helen Wright to offer 2 online workshops for LGBTQIA+ people\, aged 18+\, to learn about film programming. Participants worked together to watch a selection of queer short films and make decisions about a final shorts programme. Thanks to Ewan McPherson\, Kate Hammer\, Liam Rees\, JD Stewart\, Merik Tiz\, Ben Cave\, Beth Cooper\, Jonathan McLean\, Vee Smith and Sand Owsnett. \nThis is a free event. Book tickets using the button below. \n[bra_button text=’Buy Tickets’ url=’https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/sanctuary-shorts-in-association-with-sqiff-qa-tickets-167955993899′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nWe’ll be using Zoom Webinar for this screening event and Q&A.

SUMMARY:A New Chapter Begins

We are happy to be joined by filmmakers Teresa Garratty and David Ellington for a Q&A after the films. \nThe Q&A for this event will be live-streamed online and open to all.
