SUMMARY:Watch Party: Water Makes Us Wet: An Ecosexual Adventure
DESCRIPTION:With a poetic blend of curiosity\, humour\, sensuality\, and concern\, this film chronicles the pleasures and politics of H2O from an ecosexual perspective. 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.

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.

Hosted by Amelia Cavallo\, theatre practioner\, academic\, and co-founder of Quiplash. \nIn partnership with LGBT Health & Wellbeing.

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: 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.

SUMMARY:Vision Portraits

SUMMARY:Lemebel
DESCRIPTION:Pedro Lemebel’s sharp\, poetic texts and provocative performances make him one of South America’s most significant artists. Under Pinochet’s dictatorship in Chile\, Lemebel expressed things most wouldn’t dare. For the country’s left-wing opposition\, his queerness made him an awkward figure as he exposed their machismo and homophobia. Lemebel embodied an uncomfortable gay identity and fiercely criticised the wish of some queer people to assimilate. Lemebel uses slides and video clips to shape an essay-like memento\, enhanced with intimate interviews\, to portray a tireless fighter who continued to speak out until the end of his life. \nJoanna Reposi Garibaldi will join us for a Q&A after the screening. Kindly sponsored by Scottish Documentary Institute. Part of strand Latinx Legends. Joanna will also be giving a workhop on documentary filmmaking as part of the Festival.

SUMMARY:Cassandro\, the Exotico!
DESCRIPTION:Cassandro is a well-known lucha libre wrestler known for his extravagant gayness and equally spectacular wrestling moves. Shot on 16mm over the course of 5 years\, Marie Losier’s film follows a champion coming to terms with his increasingly ailing body. We bear witness to Cassandro’s scars\, both mental and physical\, his pain contrasting with his flamboyant masks and aerial manoeuvres in the ring. The Mexican legend struggles to deal with past addiction and abuse\, which continue to haunt him. But his joy and strength in creating space for his queer self within conservative cultural traditions make for a fascinating and invigorating watch. \nPresented in partnership with Document Human Rights Film Festival.

SUMMARY:A Girl’s Band
DESCRIPTION:From 80s punk to modern day synth pop\, rocking Argentinian queer women artists are chronicled in A Girl’s Band by bassist turned filmmaker\, Marilina Giménez.

SUMMARY:SQIFF Shorts: Queer Spaces
DESCRIPTION:How does queer visibility transform physical and symbolic space? What roles do specific spaces have in altering the way that we navigate and represent ourselves in public?

In this collection of shorts\, we explore what ‘home’ and ‘public space’ means to the LGBTQIA+ communities of Paris; join a young trans man as he navigates gendered space on the Delhi metro; and follow the campaign to save one of London’s most iconic queer spaces\, the Joiner’s Arms. \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/873611627/events/129089661′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nThis screening has an age recommendation of N/C 12+. \nFilms have English\, French\, and Hindi audio with English subtitles/captions.

Ray Van Huizen and Ella Martin-Gachot\, Country: France\, Year: 2019\, Language/s: French\, English\nFilmed in Paris while Ray Van Huizen and Ella Martin-Gachot were studying abroad\, the documentary explores the relationship that people in the LGBTQIA+ communities of Paris have with the concepts of home and public space. \nContent note: Discussion of mental health issues including suicide\, violence\, transphobia\, biphobia\, and racism. \nTrojan Horse / Rainbow Flag (26m)\nDir: Ian Giles\, Country: UK\, Year: 2019\, Language/s: English\nWorking directly with members of Friends of the Joiners Arms\, Ian Giles’ newly-commissioned film Trojan Horse/Rainbow Flag examines the campaign to save this iconic LGBTQI+ space. The title is inspired by campaigner Amy Roberts\, when describing the cynical approach of property developers seeking to push through proposals to erase queer spaces by disingenuously claiming that their LGBTQI+ status would remain unchanged post-development. \nContent note: Discussion of abusive relationships\, violence\, queerphobia\, misogyny\, and classism. \nPlease Mind the Gap (20m)\nDir. Mitali Trivedi and Gagandeep Singh\, Country: India\, Year: 2018\, Language/s: Hindi\, English\nDelhi meets at the metro. The snaking lines of the tube connect the whole city. Passengers board from different places but for a brief moment in time they are all headed in the same direction. We share one such ride with our co-traveller Anshuman\, a trans man. As the stations pass by we begin to look at the metro space from his perspective. His is the story of reclaiming public space and one’s own self. The doors will open on the quest. Please mind the gap. \nContent note: Discussion of transphobia.
