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.

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.

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?

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?

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.
