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.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Working Class LGBTQ People in Film and TV
DESCRIPTION:Beginning with clips from TV and film\, we examine how LGBTQ working-class identities have been demonised\, patronised\, and romanticised onscreen\, before considering representation we would like to see in future.

Although interactive\, there is no pressure to actively participate in discussion. It is run by two working-class femme lesbians who navigate middle-classness via their work. Leanne Dawson is a lecturer at University of Edinburgh and Laura Wylie is completing a Masters in sexuality and class at University of Stirling. \nSuitable for ages 15+. \nACCESS: Space on ground floor with level access throughout.

SUMMARY:Queer Horror: A Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge
DESCRIPTION:Described as ‘The Gayest Horror Movie Ever Made’\, Freddy’s Revenge is the first of many sequels to Wes Craven’s 1984 classic A Nightmare on Elm Street. Maligned for being cheap trash on its release\, the second film in the franchise has achieved cult status for its gloriously campy queer subtext. Virginal teenager\, Jesse\, feels he has something inside him that needs to ‘come out\,’ which turns out\, of course\, to be Freddy Krueger. Beyond this unsubtle\, central metaphor\, Jesse has a suspiciously close relationship with his male friend\, a sadomasochistic gym teacher who literally gets stripped and whipped\, and a supposed love interest who looks like Meryl Streep. \nIntroduced by Jordan Phillips\, queer horror maestro at Queen Margaret University. \nACCESS: Level access with Cinema plus accessible toilets all on ground floor (CCA). Film screening with subtitles for D/deaf and hard of hearing access. Hearing loop available. BSL interpretation for introduction. English language film.\n \n£5 / £4 conc / Free for unemployed and asylum seekers. Festival pass £40 / £30 conc.

SUMMARY:Queer Horror: The Haunting
DESCRIPTION:Dr. John Markway\, an anthropologist with an interest in psychic phenomena\, takes two specially selected women to Hill House\, a reportedly haunted mansion. Eleanor\, a lonely\, eccentric woman with a supernatural event in her past\, and the bold (and all but openly lesbian) Theodora\, who has ESP\, join John and the mansion’s heir\, cynical Luke. They are immediately overwhelmed by strange sounds and events\, and Eleanor comes to believe the house is alive and speaking directly to her. The Haunting is a pretty solid argument for the underlying queerness of the Hollywood horror movie aesthetic. \nScreening with short film Cheat (2 mins). Followed by a discussion on queer horror hosted by Jordan Phillips with guest Dr. Darren Elliott-Smith\, researcher and blogger on queerness\, gender\, and the body in horror film and television. \nACCESS: Level access at entrance with lift up to first floor for Theatre space.

SUMMARY:When We Are Together We Can Be Everywhere
DESCRIPTION:When Marit Östberg finally had enough time to edit the footage she shot in 2011\, it was already four years old. And\, by then\, her idea of a mockumentary on how to (and how not to) make queer porn had quietly changed into something different: a nostalgic look at nostalgia and a way to rewrite her own history. Now\, she could look back at the idealism of the community she had lived and worked in\, but from the perspective of knowing how things had turned out. The result became something beautiful and thoughtful and funny and sad – and still very\, very hot. A film for sex-positive dreamers everywhere. \nWe’re pleased star Liz Rosenfeld will join us for a Q&A after the screening. Presented in partnership with Goethe Institut Glasgow. \nACCESS: Level access with Cinema plus accessible toilets all on ground floor (CCA). Film mostly in English language screening with subtitles for D/deaf and hard of hearing access. Some German language segments throughout. Hearing loop available. BSL interpretation for Q&A. \n£5 / £4 conc / Free for unemployed and asylum seekers. Festival pass £40 / £30 conc. All prices include booking fee. \nTo book tickets\, 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/873562020/events’ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’]

SUMMARY:Intersexion
DESCRIPTION:Is it a boy? Is it a girl? What if it’s neither? This award-winning doc explores the world of intersex people – those born with any one of a large number of variations that make their gender ambiguous according to traditional binary ideals. Presenter Mani Bruce Mitchell\, one of New Zealand’s first out intersex people\, and director Grant Lahood locate interviewees willing to share their experiences. They discuss living in a society with a restricted view of gender which\, at best\, has made them all but invisible and\, at worst\, has subjected many to damaging ‘corrective’ surgery. \nFollowed by a discussion with Joe Holliday from the UK’s first Intersex NGO Intersex UK and film critic and activist Jennie Kermode. \nACCESS: Level access at entrance with lift up to first floor for Theatre space. Accessible toilets on first floor (CCA). Film screening with subtitles for D/deaf and hard of hearing access. BSL interpretation for discussion. Audio description available. Film in English language.\n \n£5 / £4 conc / Free for unemployed and asylum seekers. Festival pass £40 / £30 conc. All prices include booking fee. \nTo book tickets\, 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/873562018/events’ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’]

SUMMARY:Braw Butches
DESCRIPTION:Where are all the butches? What portrayals of lesbianism are acceptable and who is erased? Tender\, funny\, and thought-provoking\, Gender Troubles: The Butches explores these questions through a series of interviews and testimonials with butch-identifying women\, looking at the strange dichotomy of being both hypervisible in everyday life and invisible when it comes to media representation.
