SUMMARY:Watch Party: The Cancer Journals Revisited
DESCRIPTION:The Cancer Journals Revisited is prompted by the question of what it means to re-visit and re-vision Black lesbian feminist poet Audre Lorde’s classic 1980 memoir of her breast cancer experience today. At the invitation of filmmaker Lana Lin\, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010\, twenty-seven writers\, artists\, activists\, health care advocates\, and current and former patients recite Lorde’s manifesto aloud on camera\, collectively dramatising it and producing an oration for the screen. The film is both a critical commentary and a poetic reflection upon the precarious conditions of survival within the intimate and politicised public sphere of illness. \nFollowed by a Q&A with director Lana Lin hosted by Anahit Behrooz. Anahit is an arts journalist based in Edinburgh\, currently working as events editor at The Skinny and commissioning editor at Bella Caledonia\, with bylines in The List\, Girls on Tops\, and Club des Femmes among others. Presented in partnership with Scottish Documentary Institute. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets are on a sliding scale of FREE\, £2\, £4\, £6\, or £8. To book\, click the button below. You can book a ticket up to one hour before the start time. We will send out a Zoom link for the event to ticket holders a day or two beforehand. \n[bra_button text=’Buy Tickets’ url=’https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/watch-party-the-cancer-journals-revisited-tickets-120174640585′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nThis screening has an age recommendation of N/C 15+. \nThe films have English\, Spanish\, and German audio with English language captions.

Made as a collaboration under the name E.T. (Ela Troyano) Baby (Jane Castle) Maniac (Cheang). \n“In Sex Fish water provides the common denominator for nature imagery and explicit sex. Unlike 1970s feminist imagery\, however\, nature is sexualized rather than sex naturalized. Dripping from the faucet\, spraying against a shower curtain\, swirling down a toilet\, water leads viewers from one sex scene to another\, private to public and back again. Swimming through the video are various fish\, seemingly unaware of the derogatory pun they enact\, and all gulping enviously as cunnilingus surrounds them.” \n—Chris Straayer\, Deviant Eyes\, Deviant Bodies: Sexual Re-orientations in Film and Video (New York: Columbia University Press\, 1996) \nSex Bowl (8m)\nDir: Shu Lea Cheang\, Country: USA\, Year: 1994\, Language/s: English\nAll forms of human sport become sites for sexual play and celebratory eroticism. \n“The tape’s images are quick\, suggestive\, and sexy: fingers moving into bowling balls\, shoe-smelling and toe-sucking\, a dog wearing chain jewelry\, fish being wrapped at the market\, young naked couples having sex…. Edited like a music video\, the image track is a constant flow of fetishes that lure us into the promiscuous pace of girls who keep lists of their sexual encounters.” \n—Chris Straayer\, Deviant Eyes\, Deviant Bodies: Sexual Re-orientations in Film and Video (New York: Columbia University Press\, 1996) \nFingers and Kisses (5m)\nDir: Shu Lea Cheang\, Country: Japan\, Year: 1995\, Language/s: Japanese\, English\nCheang has taken her camera to the streets for a candid glimpse of lesbian public sexuality. If Asian women and lesbians share a certain amount of invisibility in the culture\, Fingers and Kisses offers not only a bold representation of both\, but a challenge to the question “What do lesbians do?” Tokyo’s own out-and-loud music by Chu punctuates the narrative as what begins in the streets continues under the sheets. \nComing Home (5m)\nDir: Shu Lea Cheang\, Country: USA\, Year: 1995\, Language/s: Japanese\, English\nThis humorous video begins with two women—one white\, the other Asian—attempting to fit into a Japanese bathtub. The awkward fitting of bodies into a small space is just one of the allegorical scenarios dramatized in a pressing appeal for lesbian rights. In a game of hanafuda (flower cards)\, the terms of lesbian domesticity are cleverly played out according to such legalities as joint property\, social security\, and pensions.

SUMMARY:Watch Party: The Wound + South African Shorts
DESCRIPTION:Despite a rich queer history and long fight to guarantee the rights of queer people under the first democratic government of Nelson Mandela\, queer and trans South Africans face many challenges\, which intersect with class and cultural identities. This screening attests to those challenges but demonstrates that love and support comes from surprising and subversive places. The Wound explores the relationship between traditional Xhosa initiation rituals and queer identity\, also alluded to in My Transgender Life (12m) by Yonela Simetu. The Men Who Speak Gayle (11m) celebrates a secret language used during the apartheid era to hide queer identities from the authorities. \nCurated by Harvey Dimond and followed by a Q&A with Yonela Simetu\, a Cape Town-based filmmaker and the director of My Transgender Life. Supported by Film Hub Scotland\, part of the BFI’s Film Audience Network\, and funded by Screen Scotland and Lottery funding from the BFI. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets are on a sliding scale of FREE\, £2\, £4\, £6\, or £8.

SUMMARY:Dream Access Focus Group SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:**Please note this event is now sold out.

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.

SUMMARY:Vision Portraits
DESCRIPTION:Vision Portraits is a vivid and hypnotic exploration by filmmaker Rodney Evans illuminating the compelling stories of four visually impaired artists – photographer John Dugdale\, dancer Kayla Hamilton\, writer Ryan Knighton\, and the filmmaker himself.

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. It originally debuted as one of five short films in DOCMA filmmaking challenge  #39 AMBITION. The short was created by Melissa Joan Clifford\, a trans woman\, and was made in the style of an archival film. \nContent note: Reference to transphobia. \nA Woman is Her Most Beautiful on Her Wedding Day / Someone I Hate (3m)\nDir. Nastia Nikolskaya\, Year: 2019\nTitled both A Woman is Her Most Beautiful on Her Wedding day and Someone I hate\, this film draws on the filmmaker/artist’s own upbringing in a more conservative and gender constrained environment. Employing ubiquitous wedding videography x perfume advertisement tropes\, the work is a humorous exploration of how the narratives we have absorbed dictate our daily lives\, driving our short-term and long-term decisions. \nContent note: None. \nGlue (4m)\nDir. Eleanor Capaldi\, Year: 2019\nWhen you’ve been dreaming of the past for so long\, what do you do when she’s finally there? Agnes meets her ex\, Anna\, for the first time since their break up and needs to decide whether to stay stuck in the past or move on to the new. \nContent note: None. \nPossessive Skin (2m)\nDir. Myles McEachan\, Year: 2019\n“To accept yourself against the face of adversity\, is the purest form of courage.” A self-reflective insight into the fundamentals of culture within the Trans masculine community\, and how in an age that prides itself on inclusion\, we still find segregation and discrimination within even the most marginalised of people\, which reflects us inwards. \nContent note: Description of mental health issues and transphobia. \nWhat Is Happiness? (6m)\nDir. 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. Natasha Lall\, Year: 2018\nThe 16mb\, Future Sounds & A Mini City explores retrofuturism through the lens of a shy and naïve queer. 3 short sci-fi\, lo-fi films shot in Glasgow. \nContent note: None. \nCrypsis (9m)\nDir. Christopher McGill\, Year: 2019\nAfter fleeing for his life\, a gay refugee files for asylum in Scotland. 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.
