SUMMARY:Queerventures with Kendal Mountain Events
DESCRIPTION:🔊 Listen to this Event Page\n        \n    \n  \nKendal Mountain Festival is one of the UK’s longest running Adventure Film Festivals.

Through the evocation of a poem\, ‘I am a Fellrunner\,’ explores the way in which one woman is defined as a fellrunner in the place where she belongs. \nFragments Choisis (2022\, Dir. Alicia Cenci): In the mountains\, she is Elisabeth the skier\, in the streets\, she is Elisabeth the activist. She lives her two lives very separately and makes sure those two sides do not interfere with each other.\nUntil the day she becomes world freeride champion. The activist then meets the sportswoman when Elisabeth decides to use her title and the attention around it to come out publicly. \nEden (2021\, Dir. Charlie Bush): Eden Elgeti was part way through her male to female transition when she realised she wanted biological children in the future.

Jamie DiNicola\, Matthew Mikkelsen & Palmer Morse): Venture Out is a story of overcoming odds\, the power of resilience\, and ultimately\, the ever-lasting effects of LGBTQ community building. The Venture Out Project\, founded by Perry Cohen\, is a non profit organisation that brings LGBTQ folks together outdoors on wilderness trips. In sharing Perry’s story\, and hearing from the other TVOP participants\, we get a glimpse into the healing qualities of nature and life-saving community bonds that are being forged as a result of Perry’s work. \nAscension (2023\, Dirs. Emma Crome & Matt Pycroft): Elite climber Alex Johnson has attempted to climb the iconic boulder The Swarm\, California\, for a decade. Not succeeding breaks her down into self-reflection where she finally accepts her sexuality. \nBig Things to Come (2022): One of Europe’s leading adventure photographers\, Hamish Frost lives twin lives. In Ascension\, we explore the side of himself he has kept hidden from the outdoor community.

SUMMARY:Queer East Presents: Peafowl 공작새
DESCRIPTION:🔊 Listen to this Event Page\n        \n    \n  \nShin-myung is a transgender woman and dancer who competes in waacking. Having cut ties with her family and rural hometown\, Shin-myung seeks various ways to fund her gender reassignment surgery. But one day\, she is informed that her estranged father\, a master of Nongak folk music\, has died. He stipulated that Shin-myung can receive her inheritance money if she returns to the village and performs a traditional drum dance\, as part of his memorial rituals. Unwilling to yield to her intolerant father’s posthumous demands\, the unapologetic Shin-myung is forced to reluctantly reconnect with her past while staying true to herself. Driven by an empowering vision of trans identity\, this assured debut feature from Byun Sung-bin contemplates the possibilities – and limits – of forgiveness. \nTickets are on a pay what you can sliding scale of FREE\, £2\, £4\, £6\, £8\, or £10.

SUMMARY:Animation Now
DESCRIPTION:🔊 Listen to this News Post\n        \n    \n  \n‘Animation Now’ celebrates a new generation of queer animators. The programme includes both 2D and 3D animation in the form of narrative shorts\, experimental art film and an immersive game walkthrough.  \nThe screening starts with the heartfelt 3D animation Dear Nana telling the story of the narrator’s late grandmother who was a supportive figure throughout their life. Clotilde follows in a stop-motion animated medium and provides a playful light-hearted moment in the programme. \nThe screening ends with a panel featuring some of the filmmakers in the programme on the newest wave of digital animation. Expect talk of gaming-inspired filmmaking. \nCurated by Nat Lall.\n \nTickets are on a pay what you can sliding scale of FREE\, £2\, £4\, £6\, £8\, or £10. To book\, click here or call the CCA Box Office on 0141 352 4900. \n  \nDear Nana (2023\, Dir. Han Nguyen): Dear Nana is a deeply personal work that reflects my own childhood memory of living as a queer kid in a small\, conservative town in North Central Coast\, Vietnam. It is made in memory of my maternal grandmother who passed away in 2011. She was the first person to teach me that there is no shame in being myself and doing whatever makes me happy instead of trying to conform to the norm and doing what is expected of me. This work is both about remembering her and reassuring myself that she would still be supportive of me now that I have come so far in my journey of self-expression. The film also features aspects of Vietnamese culture\, such as the tradition to venerate our ancestors and pray for their blessings. \nClotilde (2023\, Dir. Maria João Lourenço): In a planet where reproduction is mandatory in the daily life of its inhabitants\, there is an alien who just wishes to pleasure herself. \nWhite-Haired Witch and Black-Haired Witch (2023\, Dir. Yini Yang): In a distant corner of the universe\, amidst flowers\, vines\, and an endless expanse of crimson water\, numerous placentas float. One of the placentas connects two fetuses\, and in a flash of lightning\, the placenta is divided into two halves. From one of the halves\, a white-haired witch grows gradually\, longing to find the other half of the fetus but unable to locate it. Consequently\, it gives birth to a black-haired witch from its own body to coexist. One day\, the black-haired witch embarks on a journey\, leaving behind a letter documenting its travels for the white-haired witch. While waiting\, the white-haired witch finds answers and returns to the primordial dream. \nLiving with It (2023\, Dir. Holly Summerson): Perfectionist Lee (Annabelle Davis) must adapt to the imperfect reality of living with an illness – brought to life as a chaotic supernatural flatmate – Bug (Lawrence Chaney). Accepting the long-term effects of illness – and making the best of an imperfect situation – are explored through the relationship between two dysfunctional flatmates in this dark comedy animated short. \nComing Out Autistic (2023\, Dir. Steven Fraser): Coming out Autistic is a short animated documentary that explores the experience of telling the world that you are autistic when you also identify as LGBTQ+. Queer coming out stories are well documented\, but the occurrence of telling friends\, family\, co-workers and strangers that you are autistic is less explored. Parallels with queer experiences are investigated and a wide range of individuals are interviewed to express the array of feelings and reactions that are encountered. \nDesire’s Exhibition (2023\, Dir. Salmo Pagão): With the aim of finding Desire\, so-and-so performs a ritual to go down in the depths of himself. There he came across an exhibition of Desire’s works which had until then haunted his dreams and non-dreams in land. It is important to him confront the works\, recognize them\, and rise with crucial answers. \nA mother’s love for her baby (2022\, Dirs. Éiméar McClay & Cat McClay): Using a combination of 3D animation and experimental prose\, A mother’s love for her baby explores the corruption and conditions endemic in the Magdalene Laundries and mother and baby homes run by the Catholic church in Ireland throughout the 20th century. Influenced by Saidiya Hartman’s concept of “critical fabulation” – the use of storytelling to fill the gaps left in historical records – the film advocates for a bottom-up form of historiography: centring historically marginalised voices of Irish women and critiquing the structures of power that (re)produce their dispossession. \nJunior & The Kid (2023\, Dir. Dani Wasserman): Junior & The Kid is a sparse retelling of a fictional love affair between an unnamed western cowboy and 90s baseball superstar and heartthrob Ken Griffey Jr. \nWhere the Mouth is (Machinima Version) (2022\, Dir. Benjamiin Hall): Set in the Saxon-era archipelago once where Oxford now stands\, “Where the Mouth” is (re)builds Oxfordshire as an interactive world outside of time\, leaping off from the collections of the public Museum of Oxford. You are let loose in the swampy terrain to observe the local tradition of ‘beating the bounds’ – marking parish boundary stones with a stick in order to embed them in the memory of the town’s residents. The mouth of that collective memory has issued many truths\, half-truths\, desires\, cries\, anecdotes\, apocryphal stories\, and tiny reminders of a future from the past.  \nOriginally commissioned by the Museum of Oxford and Digital Artist Residency\, with later support from Bloomberg New Contemporaries Digital Fellowships; Soundtrack by Peter Talisman (Slugabed and Samuel Organ) as mixed from their 2021 album ‘Lord of the Harvest’; Movement/ motion capture performance by Anya Sirina; Special thanks to Tom Milnes. \nPatches (2021\, Dir. Georgie Athanasopoulos): Outcast due to physical differences\, a lonely little boy in the 1920’s makes an unlikely friend and finds belonging through sacrifice. \nThe Prince’s Dilemma (2023\, Dir.

DESCRIPTION:🔊 Listen to this Event Page\n        \n    \n  \nJoin us for a journey of conscious and unconscious thoughts. This screening features distinct experimental shorts made by trans and non-binary people that focuses on the varied ways our community tell stories of forming and navigating relationships\, both digitally and in real life.  \nThe films in this programme utilise archival footage\, found footage\, digital glitch\, chemical abstraction\, digital animation\, layered imagery\, and direct animation to explore the telling of our stories. \nMilo Clenshaw will be hosting a panel discussion after the screening with special guests Hogan Seidel\, director of The Backside of God\, and Jamie Crewe\, director of A Luxury. \nCurated by Indigo Korres.\n \nTickets are on a pay what you can sliding scale of FREE\, £2\, £4\, £6\, £8\, or £10.

Relative to the immensity of longing\, the bodily insides become both portal and lens through which to probe the porousness between interior and exterior\, the micro and macro. Nudes and landscapes are equally erotic\, as Eros is an issue of boundaries: When i desire you\, a part of me is gone. \n  \nACCESSIBLITY  \nContent Warnings: \n\nDiscussion of transphobia\, misogyny\, religious views\, homophobia\, emotional edging\, mental health\, sex;\nDepiction of masturbation\, sex.\n\n\nAccess Notes: \n\nGlitchy imagery\n\nThis screening has an age recommendation of N/C 16+. \n61 minutes long with a Q&A after the screening. \nEnglish\, Latin\, Portuguese\, and Vietnamese audio and screens with English language captions. BSL-English interpretation and live captioning provided. \nAudio description available for the film.

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.

Their exchange is punctuated\, as in Radclyffe Hall’s text\, by the image of a panting\, dying fox. Though it demands compassion\, this fox is not real\, and its blood looks perhaps more like lipstick. The video is scored by a hyperventilating concertina. \nThese characters are portrayed by performance maker and ogre Sorcha Clelland\, and performance artist and music producer TAAHLIAH. In this version\, TAAHLIAH is standing\, and Sorcha is seated. \nPowder Snowdrop Catatonic (17m)\nDir: Sgàire Wood\, Country: Scotland\, Year: 2020\, Language/s: English and French languages \nProduced in one room over the course of a week in the heart of lockdown\, Sgàire Wood’s Powder Snowdrop Catatonic is an irreverent pantomime performance of mental deterioration under mandatory quarantine. Summoning a cast of capricious characters\, Wood runs a Kübler-Ross style gamut of emotions precipitated by self-isolation\, from misanthropic smugness to mind-bending ennui and cabin fever. Seen solely through the narrow lens of a smartphone camera\, she dances before the flimsy trompe l’oeil facade of a Victorian parlour\, existing in the space between coziness and claustrophobia\, flippancy and sincerity. The film’s celebratory intimacy pays tribute to queer\, radicalised or feminised practices which\, being underrepresented in traditional art spaces\, are relegated to the realm of domesticity and how under the circumstances in which the film was produced\, have found a new appreciation and importance. \nWhere the Red Fern Grows (11m)\nDir: Sorcha Clelland\, Country: UK\, Year: 2020\, Language/s: No spoken language \nSorcha Clelland’s Where the Red Fern Grows\, titled after Wilson Rawls’ 1961 children’s book about hunting dogs\, exists as a love letter to a rave and venue in Ibrox\, Glasgow. Filmed at The African Arts Centre in May 2020 during the venue’s demolition and Scotland’s lockdown from COVID-19. The novel begins with an aspiration to heal and a birth of kinship. Character growth is continued through belief in a magic. Performing as SHREK 666\, the embodiment of a demonic ogre shifting through monstrous transformation chained to catholicism\, he revisits a site and performance which was formerly a scene of Queer Intimacy. \n“The Ideal Bar” – “Le Narcisse” – “Alec’s” (2m)\nDir: Jamie Crewe\, Country: UK\, Year: 2020\, Language/s: No spoken language \n“The Ideal Bar” – “Le Narcisse” – “Alec’s” is a dramatised exchange between two characters in a Glasgow nightclub\, inspired by a sequence in Radclyffe Hall’s The Well of Loneliness in which Stephen Gordon encounters a repellent reflection of herself in a Parisian gay bar. Their exchange is punctuated\, as in Radclyffe Hall’s text\, by the image of a panting\, dying fox. Though it demands compassion\, this fox is not real\, and its blood looks perhaps more like lipstick. The video is scored by a hyperventilating concertina. \nThese characters are portrayed by performance maker and ogre Sorcha Clelland\, and performance artist and music producer TAAHLIAH. In this version\, Sorcha is standing\, and TAAHLIAH is seated.
