Their exchange is punctuated\, as in Radclyffe Hallā€™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: SgĆ ire 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\, SgĆ ire Woodā€™s Powder Snowdrop Catatonic is an irreverent pantomime performance of mental deterioration under mandatory quarantine. Summoning a cast of capricious characters\, Wood runs a KĆ¼bler-Ross style gamut of emotions precipitated by self-isolation\, from misanthropic smugness to mind-bending ennui and cabin fever.Ā Seen solely through the narrow lens of a smartphone camera\, she dances before the flimsy trompe lā€™oeil facade of a Victorian parlour\, existing in the space between coziness and claustrophobia\, flippancy and sincerity.Ā The filmā€™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 Clellandā€™s Where the Red Fern Grows\, titled after Wilson Rawlsā€™ 1961 childrenā€™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 venueā€™s demolition and Scotlandā€™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. \nā€œThe Ideal Barā€ ā€“ ā€œLe Narcisseā€ ā€“ ā€œAlecā€™sā€ (2m)\nDir: Jamie Crewe\, Country: UK\, Year: 2020\, Language/s: No spoken language \nā€œThe Ideal Barā€ ā€“ ā€œLe Narcisseā€ ā€“ ā€œAlecā€™sā€ is a dramatised exchange between two characters in a Glasgow nightclub\, inspired by a sequence in Radclyffe Hallā€™s The Well of Loneliness in which Stephen Gordon encounters a repellent reflection of herself in a Parisian gay bar.

Made as a collaboration under the name E.T. (Ela Troyano) Baby (Jane Castle) Maniac (Cheang). \nā€œIn 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.ā€ \nā€”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. \nā€œThe tapeā€™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 sexā€¦. 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.ā€ \nā€”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 ā€œWhat do lesbians do?ā€ Tokyoā€™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 womenā€”one white\, the other Asianā€”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.

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 BFIā€™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\, Ā£2\, Ā£4\, Ā£6\, or Ā£8.
