SUMMARY:Are you into emotional edging?
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. To book\, click here or call the CCA Box Office on 0141 352 4900. \n  \nA Luxury (2021\, Dir. Jamie Crewe): A film commssioned by Edinburgh International Book Festival\, 2021\, in response to Shola Von Reinhold’s novel LOTE (2020). Made in homage to Curtis Harrington’s film The Wormwood Star (1956)\, a portrait of the artist Cameron\, the film finds Shola in the attic of Preston Hall\, Midlothian\, undergoing a transportation. A section of LOTE is read over churning abstract liquids\, and finally an escape. \nA Trans with a Movie Camera (2018\, Dir. Frances Damian Arpaia): A non-narrative cine-essay that collaboratively explores the potentials for trans-feminine representation in film. \nThe Backside of God (2020\, Dir. Hogan Seidel): The Backside of God is an experimental documentary utilizing archival footage\, digital glitch\, chemical abstraction\, and direct animation to explore the intricacies of the artist’s relationship with their familial\, religious\, and queer identity. \nBigger on the Inside (2022\, Dir. Angelo Madsen Minax): From an isolated wooded cabin a trans man star gazes\, scruff chats with guys\, watches youtube tutorials\, takes drugs\, and lies about taking drugs – feeling his way through a cosmology of embodiment. 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:Dream Access Focus Group SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:**Please note this event is now sold out. You can join a waiting list by clicking Buy Tickets below and we will contact you if a space becomes available** \nDisability provision is almost always a second thought even in places that are all about radical inclusivity – this is the case with queer spaces as well. This workshop is an opportunity to listen to advocates experiencing diverse disabilities\, and to find solutions for radical access provisions in a collaborative way. Documentation of the event\, in the form of a zine to share with SQIFF and other festivals\, will provide a community-based\, co created list of problems and suggested solutions\, prioritising input from excluded communities rather than theoretical ‘best practices.’ \nEvent led by Disabled activist Luke Murphy. Zine created by Dr of medieval queer+trans theology\, storyteller\, and zine-maker\, Jonah Coman. \nPlease note this workshop is intended for Deaf and Disabled participants. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets are free.

SUMMARY:Sqifflix: Vision Portraits
DESCRIPTION:Vision Portraits is a vivid and hypnotic exploration by filmmaker Rodney Evans illuminating the compelling stories of four visually impaired artists – photographer John Dugdale\, dancer Kayla Hamilton\, writer Ryan Knighton\, and the filmmaker himself.

Evans’ self-reflexive approach emphasises how each artist adapted creatively and thrived as their process evolved with their unique perspectives. An important film for anyone interested in disability aesthetics\, demonstrating how blindness and visual impairment bring about distinct artistic viewpoints. \nWe are pleased to be hosting a live Q&A with director Rodney Evans on Saturday 20 June at 7pm. The Q&A will take place on SQIFF’s Facebook page at facebook.com/sqiff. Hosted by Amelia Cavallo\, theatre practioner\, academic\, and co-founder of Quiplash. \nIn partnership with LGBT Health & Wellbeing.

DESCRIPTION:Cassandro is a well-known lucha libre wrestler known for his extravagant gayness and equally spectacular wrestling moves.

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.

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.

SUMMARY:Pulse
DESCRIPTION:A gay Disabled teenage boy chooses to swap his body for that of a non-disabled cisgender woman\, seeing this as the only way he can be loved. A deeply personal film written by and starring queer Disabled filmmaker Daniel Monks\, Pulse explores thematic questions such as how much our bodies shape who we are\, where the line is between compromising for love and changing yourself to be loved\, and why we fall in love with the people we do. Pulse is a parable for young people\, queer people\, Disabled people; but also for anyone who has ever struggled with their body\, their appearance\, their sexuality\, their desires\, and essentially themselves. \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/873598354/events/128819676′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nFilm in the English language with English language subtitles/captions.

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.

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.

With thanks to Wotever DIY Film Festival. \nACCESS: Level access at entrance of CCA with Cinema space on ground floor. Accessible toilets available.

SUMMARY:120 BPM Preview plus Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Revisiting elements of his own experience\, Robin Campillo has created a bustling fresco of the personalities and politics of the ACT UP Paris LGBTQI community during the 1990s. The sense of urgency\, authenticity and attention to detail is exemplary as individual stories come into sharper focus. We follow hot-headed Sean (Nahuel Pérez Biscayart) as he falls under the spell of gravely handsome newcomer Nathan (Arnaud Valois). A moving\, lump-in-the-throat love story is matched by a celebration of the power of activism to awaken an indifferent world in this superb drama. \n120 BPM screens at GFT 6th to 12th April. Join us for this special preview screening followed by a Q&A with ACT UP London activist\, theatre maker and single mother Ray Malone – personally described as ‘scum’ by Nigel Farage – along with other guests tbc. \nACCESS: The film is in the French language with English subtitles. There will be a BSL interpreter for the introduction and panel discussion. GFT has level access at its entrance on Rose Street with Screen 2 on the ground floor and an accessible toilet nearby.
