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 contrasts their journeys with his own personal and professional one as a filmmaker gradually losing his vision and as a gay man. 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. Supported by Film Hub Scotland\, part of the BFI’s Film Audience Network\, and funded by Screen Scotland and Lottery funding from the BFI. \nVision Portraits will be available online 15 to 21 June. Tickets are priced on a sliding scale £0-£8 on a pay what you can basis. To book\, please use the button below.
