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. To book\, click the button below. You can book a ticket up to one hour before the start time. We will send out a Zoom link for the event to ticket holders a day or two beforehand. \n[bra_button text=’Buy Tickets’ url=’https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/dream-access-focus-group-tickets-120119848701′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nBSL interpretation\, live captioning\, and live audio description are provided for the workshop. We will send instructions on how to access the live AD to all ticket holders before the event.

SUMMARY:Sqifflix: TRANSFINITE + shorts
DESCRIPTION:TRANSFINITE is a sci-fi omnibus feature film by Neelu Bhuman composed of seven standalone short stories where supernatural trans and queer people from various cultures use their powers to protect\, love\, teach\, fight\, and thrive. Most of us have been in situations where we feel completely powerless and deeply frustrated with the unfairness of it all. Sometimes we have lost control of life and sometimes we find a way to use our rage\, resentment\, and frustrations to grow a beautiful garden. In TRANSFINITE\, the protagonists\, like smooth warriors\, choose to find that inner power and use it to transform undesirable situations into desirable ones in a snap. \nScreening with shorts FETISH and Something In The Closet. In Topher Campbell’s FETISH a multi-dimensional being bestrides the streets of New York in defiance and celebration as he embodies the past\, present and future of Blackness. Featuring a mesmerising original score by Mercury Prize Award Winner’s Young fathers. Something In The Closet directed by Nosa Eke is about a queer teenager struggling with her sexuality\, as desires manifest their way from the depths of her eerie closet into reality. \nWe are pleased to be hosting a live discussion with Black queer UK artists’ responses to the films on Saturday 27 June at 7pm. The discussion will take place on SQIFF’s Facebook page at facebook.com/sqiff. Hosted by writer and programmer Harvey Dimond with filmmaker Nosa Eke and other guests tbc.\n \nIn partnership with LGBT Health & Wellbeing. Supported by Film Hub Scotland\, part of the BFI’s Film Audience Network\, and funded by Screen Scotland and Lottery funding from the BFI. \nTRANSFINITE + shorts will be available online 25 to 28 June.

SUMMARY:SQIFF Shorts: Out of the Archives!
DESCRIPTION:As part of LGBT History Month Scotland 2020\, SQIFF presents a programme of short films looking back into largely unseen and undiscovered aspects of the history of queer Scottish representation in the 20th century. \nFeaturing archival documentaries and short films by queer filmmakers\, screenings will be accompanied by discussions examining whether these films are a fair representation of the past\, and asking what they may be able to contribute to an understanding of the future. Films include Bongo Erotico\, a surreal nightmare of bisexual lust from 1950s’ Wishaw; groundbreaking documentary of Edinburgh queer life in the 80s\, Coming Out; and Pratibha Parmar’s experimental 1990 short\, Bhangra Jig\, which follows a young Asian woman walking the streets of Glasgow with signs of colonialism ever-present. \nAges 12+.

SUMMARY:Black History Month: Calalai: In Betweenness + shorts
DESCRIPTION:Calalai: In Betweenness by filmmaker Kiki Febriyanti depicts women in South Sulawesi Bugis culture\, which for centuries has accepted gender diversity as implicit\, believing humans consist of 5 genders\, one of them being calalai. The film takes a closer look at the definition of femininity and masculinity in the Bugis culture. What or who is calalai? What are the dynamics of gender\, spirituality\, and performance? How do these dynamics define the everyday life of the Bugis people? \nScreening with accompanying short films and discussion on queerness in Indonesian cultures outside of white\, colonialist impositions. \nCurated and hosted by artist and researcher Claricia Parinussa.

SUMMARY:Black History Month: Portrait of Jason
DESCRIPTION:Portrait of Jason shows sex worker and entertainer\, Jason Holliday\, recounting his life story for filmmaker Shirley Clarke. \nJason is the sole on-screen presence in the film. He narrates his life story to the camera\, behind which Clarke and her partner at the time\, actor Carl Lee\, provoke and berate Jason with increasing hostility as the film progresses. The film alleges to employ avant-garde and cinéma vérité techniques to reach the tragedy underlying Jason’s performative persona. However\, Portrait of Jason is one of if not the first documentation of black queer experiences and trauma exploited by white ‘gatekeepers’ for the sake of the artist’s cultural and financial capital gains. \nAlthough Portrait of Jason is a landmark film\, there is a need here to discuss the fuzzy problem of ‘visibility’ within the white/capitalist domination of visual culture. Are the lines between exposure and exploitation blurred in Portrait of Jason? \nCurated and hosted by Sequoia Barnes\, an art/design scholar and doctoral candidate at The School of Design with Edinburgh College of Art. Presented as part of Black History Month in partnership with Coalition for Racial Equality and Rights (CRER). \nFree. 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/873612019/events/129093020′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nThis screening has an age recommendation of N/C 15+. \nFilm has English audio with English language subtitles/captions. If you would like to attend this event and require BSL interpretation for the introduction/discussion\, please email access@sqiff.org at least 2 weeks in advance. \nFilm is moderately accessible to English-speaking blind and partially sighted audiences with a lot of visual storytelling but some explanatory dialogue and all English language.

SUMMARY:SQIFF Schools: Out (CCA)
DESCRIPTION:So much of young people’s experience of sexual and gender identity in the present day comes via the internet. However\, the old pain and awkwardness of ‘coming out’ to friends and family remains the same. This new documentary from French director Denis Parrot combines the phenomenon of online queer culture with the intimacy of young people’s revelations about themselves. Out presents a collection of compelling videos posted online by young LGBTQ+ people\, showing us their experience of telling loved ones about their identity. \nFollowed by a discussion hosted by LGBT Youth Scotland about the experiences of LGBTQ+ young people communicating their identity to family and friends and finding acceptance. The event is kindly sponsored by LGBT Youth Scotland. \nThis event is free and only open to schools. The film and discussion are suitable for S1-6. Please email helen@sqiff.org to book spaces. \n  \nACCESS \nFilm mostly 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. \nCCA has good access for wheelchair users. Click here for more details on venue access.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Exploring LGBTQ Experiences of Sexual Violence
DESCRIPTION:SQIFF partners with Forth Valley Rape Crisis Centre to offer an interactive workshop which explores the impacts of sexual violence on LGBTQ people\, and considers how to improve the support available to the queer community from third sector feminist services.
