SUMMARY:Framing Agnes + Conversation at An Lanntair\, Stornoway
DESCRIPTION:Agnes\, the pioneering\, pseudonymized\, transgender woman who participated in Harold Garfinkel’s gender health research at UCLA in the 1960s\, has long stood as a figurehead of trans history.  \nIn this rigorous cinematic exercise that blends fiction and nonfiction\, director Chase Joynt explores where and how her platform has become a pigeonhole. Framing Agnes endeavors to widen the frame through which trans history is viewed — one that has remained too narrow to capture the multiplicity of experiences eclipsed by Agnes’.  \nThrough a collaborative practice of reimagination\, an impressive lineup of trans stars take on vividly rendered\, impeccably vintage reenactments\, bringing to life groundbreaking artifacts of trans healthcare.  \nJoynt’s signature form-rupturing style radically reenvisions the imposition of the frame on the cultural memory of transness through his brilliantly crafted\, communally-driven excavation. This reclamation tears away with remarkable precision the myth of isolation as the mode of existence of transgender history-makers\, breathing new life into a lineage of collaborators and conspirators who have been forgotten for far too long. \nFollowing the screening of Framing Agnes\, stay tuned for a conversation with local trans and non-binary people on inter-generational trans experiences and creating space for the community. \nCurated by Indigo Korres. \nTickets are available on a pay what you can sliding scale of FREE\, £5\, £6.50\, £8. To book\, click here \n  \nAccessibility: \nThis screening has an age recommendation of N/C 15+. \nEnglish audio and British Sign Language with English language captions. BSL-English interpretation for intro and post-film conversation. \nAudio description available for the film. Headsets available at the cinema entrance. \nQuiet Room available. \nInduction Loop available. \n75 minutes long with a 45 minutes post-film conversation. \nWe have an Audience Access Fund for travel costs. If you would like to take this up\, please contact info@sqiff.org. \nWe ask that you wear a mask if possible and please don’t attend the screening if you have any symptoms of Covid-19 or have been in recent contact with a confirmed case. Surgical masks will be available for free by the Quiet Space.  \nIf you have any other access needs you would like to discuss with us\, please get in touch with us at info@sqiff.org. \nSupported by Film Hub Scotland\, part of the BFI’s Film Audience Network\, and funded by Screen Scotland and National Lottery funding from the BFI.

SUMMARY:Sediments at DCA\, Dundee
DESCRIPTION:Like the Earth\, our interior is formed by different strata\, which forge our identity and tell our life story.

SUMMARY:Framing Agnes + Conversation at DCA\, Dundee
DESCRIPTION:Agnes\, the pioneering\, pseudonymized\, transgender woman who participated in Harold Garfinkel’s gender health research at UCLA in the 1960s\, has long stood as a figurehead of trans history.  \nIn this rigorous cinematic exercise that blends fiction and nonfiction\, director Chase Joynt explores where and how her platform has become a pigeonhole. Framing Agnes endeavors to widen the frame through which trans history is viewed — one that has remained too narrow to capture the multiplicity of experiences eclipsed by Agnes’.  \nThrough a collaborative practice of reimagination\, an impressive lineup of trans stars take on vividly rendered\, impeccably vintage reenactments\, bringing to life groundbreaking artifacts of trans healthcare.  \nJoynt’s signature form-rupturing style radically reenvisions the imposition of the frame on the cultural memory of transness through his brilliantly crafted\, communally-driven excavation. This reclamation tears away with remarkable precision the myth of isolation as the mode of existence of transgender history-makers\, breathing new life into a lineage of collaborators and conspirators who have been forgotten for far too long. \nFollowing the screening of Framing Agnes\, stay tuned for a conversation with local trans and non-binary people on inter-generational trans experiences and creating space for the community. \nCurated by Indigo Korres. \nTickets are on a pay what you can sliding scale of FREE\, £2\, £4\, £6\, £8\, or £10.

DESCRIPTION:Agnes\, the pioneering\, pseudonymized\, transgender woman who participated in Harold Garfinkel’s gender health research at UCLA in the 1960s\, has long stood as a figurehead of trans history.  \nIn this rigorous cinematic exercise that blends fiction and nonfiction\, director Chase Joynt explores where and how her platform has become a pigeonhole. Framing Agnes endeavors to widen the frame through which trans history is viewed — one that has remained too narrow to capture the multiplicity of experiences eclipsed by Agnes’.  \nThrough a collaborative practice of reimagination\, an impressive lineup of trans stars take on vividly rendered\, impeccably vintage reenactments\, bringing to life groundbreaking artifacts of trans healthcare.  \nJoynt’s signature form-rupturing style radically reenvisions the imposition of the frame on the cultural memory of transness through his brilliantly crafted\, communally-driven excavation. This reclamation tears away with remarkable precision the myth of isolation as the mode of existence of transgender history-makers\, breathing new life into a lineage of collaborators and conspirators who have been forgotten for far too long. \nFollowing the screening of Framing Agnes\, stay tuned for a conversation with local trans and non-binary people on inter-generational trans experiences and creating space for the community. \nThis event is presented in partnership with Stirling Trans Collective\, Stirling LGBTQ+ Society and LGBT Youth Scotland. \nCurated by Indigo Korres. \nTickets are on a pay what you can sliding scale of FREE\, £4.50\, £6.50\, £8.50.

SUMMARY:Sanctuary shorts in association with SQIFF + Q+A
DESCRIPTION:This community-curated programme* explores the acceptance of identity\, self\, and of the world around us\, while highlighting the universal experience of being queer–with a special focus on being lesbian. The films’ instinctive narratives show the lows of being ‘othered’\, and the highs of finding a safe space within that\, no matter what age\, country\, or time period. Join us for powerfully diverse stories\, told with heart\, honesty\, and a perfect amount of humour. You’ll leave the event with a new community of queer film-lovers: your very own sanctuary. \n*Back in July\, Sanctuary collaborated with SQIFF producer and co-founder Helen Wright to offer 2 online workshops for LGBTQIA+ people\, aged 18+\, to learn about film programming. Participants worked together to watch a selection of queer short films and make decisions about a final shorts programme.

SUMMARY:Watch Party: The Cancer Journals Revisited
DESCRIPTION:The Cancer Journals Revisited is prompted by the question of what it means to re-visit and re-vision Black lesbian feminist poet Audre Lorde’s classic 1980 memoir of her breast cancer experience today. At the invitation of filmmaker Lana Lin\, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010\, twenty-seven writers\, artists\, activists\, health care advocates\, and current and former patients recite Lorde’s manifesto aloud on camera\, collectively dramatising it and producing an oration for the screen. The film is both a critical commentary and a poetic reflection upon the precarious conditions of survival within the intimate and politicised public sphere of illness. \nFollowed by a Q&A with director Lana Lin hosted by Anahit Behrooz. Anahit is an arts journalist based in Edinburgh\, currently working as events editor at The Skinny and commissioning editor at Bella Caledonia\, with bylines in The List\, Girls on Tops\, and Club des Femmes among others. Presented in partnership with Scottish Documentary Institute. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets are on a sliding scale of FREE\, £2\, £4\, £6\, or £8.

SUMMARY:Watch Party: Water Makes Us Wet: An Ecosexual Adventure

Travel with Annie\, a former sex worker\, Beth\, a professor\, and their dog Butch\, in their E.A.R.T.H. Lab mobile unit\, as they explore the role of water.
