This is followed by A Bird Called Memory\, Les garçons dans l’eau\, and Dismantle Me; three narrative fiction films delving into the various ways we give and receive love. This trans-focused programme is an opportunity to reflect on the importance of love within our community. \nCurated by Indigo Korres. \n  \nSQIFF is working with Curate-It to bring this programme online and wide.
