SUMMARY:Buddies at Eden Court
DESCRIPTION:Considered the first feature-length film made about AIDS\, Buddies revolves around 25 year old David who volunteers to visit with an AIDS patient to offer support and comfort. He is assigned to older Robert\, a gay activist abandoned by his friends and lovers. The action is contained within Robert’s hospital room and is as claustrophobic as it is grand in its profundity. As David is changed by knowing Robert\, so too does the viewer gain knowledge and insight into a devastating era of gay history in this new 2K digital restoration of a queer classic. \nIn partnership with Waverley Care and Highland LGBT Forum for World AIDS Day. \nTickets are priced from £6.50 and will be available to buy from Eden Court’s box office soon. \nACCESS \nFilm in the English language with English language subtitles/captions. Hearing loop available. \nFilm relies on visual material to convey ideas but has a lot of voiceover and commentary\, so is relatively accessible for blind and partially sighted audiences. Large print versions of handouts available. \nEden Court has good access for wheelchair users. Click here for more details on venue access. \nWe have a limited travel fund to assist people to come to the Festival for those who could not otherwise afford to attend. If you would like to apply for this\, please contact access@sqiff.org.

SUMMARY:Discussion: Deaf & Disabled Aesthetics in Film
DESCRIPTION:Availability of access measures such as captions and audio description is often seen as an ‘extra’\, sitting separately from films as works of art. However\, many D/deaf and Disabled and ally filmmakers and cultural workers integrate accessibility into their style of filmmaking\, or consider artistic ideas in their creation of access measures. This session will feature presentations from people working in Deaf and Disabled film aesthetics\, including actor\, filmmaker\, and Artistic Director of Turtléar\, EJ Raymond and artist\, curator\, and consultant\, Caglar Kimyoncu. Followed by an open discussion hosted by SQIFF’s Access & Engagement Coordinator and artist\, Alison Smith. \nTickets are priced on a sliding scale £0-£8 depending on what you can afford. To book\, 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/873598359/events/128819682′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nThe event will be BSL interpreted with any film clips subtitled/captioned. Hearing loop available. \nLarge print versions of handouts available. \nCCA has good access for wheelchair users. Click here for more details on venue access. \nComfy seating (bean bags) available.

SUMMARY:SQIFF Shorts: Bodies and Borders
DESCRIPTION:The most urgent issues surrounding identity and oppression revolve around bodies and borders. In Being Okey\, a gay Nigerian man is denied asylum in Switzerland and consequently caught between the constant fear of being sent home and hope of a life in safety. ABEO is an animation by Latinx artist Brenda M. Lopez Zepeda depicting the journey of two immigrants risking their lives to cross the Arizona desert. My Shoreline is an experimental film-poem about a disabled queer body in water\, and My Own Wings documents intersex people from around the world. Working class queer bodies and class borders are forefronted in Krissy Mahan’s All in a Day’s Work and the implication of supposed sexual boundaries is explored in Patricia Silva’s bisexual ode\, A Feeling More Than a Picture. Finally\, legendary lesbian filmmaker Barbara Hammer’s new short\, Evidentiary Bodies\, is a plea for empathy and compassion generated through the viewing of other beings.  \nTickets are priced on a sliding scale £0-£8 depending on what you can afford. To book\, 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/873598338/events/128819651′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nFilms in English and Spanish languages with English language subtitles/captions.
