The worldwide stage appearances and workshops of gender activist and performance artist Diane Torr are legendary.

Director Katarina Peters observes a Berlin workshop taught by Diane, in which a group of open-minded women come together to discover the secrets of masculinity. What makes a man a man and a woman a woman? Precisely when and where is gender identity created? How much is nature and how much nurture?
With an introduction by Angie Dight – director of Mischief La–Bas, which focuses on innovative theatrical experiences, and Stephen Greer, theatre academic and cultural critic at University of Glasgow – celebrating the life and work of artist, activist, and educator, Diane Torr, who sadly passed away earlier this year.

SQIFF’s Helen Wright presents a screening-performance looking at the work of DIY queer filmmakers Krissy Mahan and Nakshatra Bagwe whilst joined by the filmmakers via the interwebs for a live conversation.
Krissy Mahan and her alter ego Faggotgirl – based in New York – have been making movies using humour as a feminist tool for 25 years. Mahan’s movies centre the social failures around accessibility, gender identity, mental health, immigration, and working class post-industrial cities.
Nakshatra Bagwe is a gay rights activist and filmmaker from Mumbai who started making zero budget films focused on homosexuality and queer community awareness at the age of 22. Both artists will discuss the ideas behind filmmaking with a DIY ethos. With thanks to Wotever DIY Film Festival.
ACCESS: Level access at entrance of CCA with Cinema space on ground floor. Accessible toilets available. The discussion will be typed live and appear on the cinema screen alongside being read out loud. Films are mostly in the English language with English language subtitles or captions.

Shy heads to the big city to sink himself into a life of crime and meets Valentine, a deliriously expressive, wise-acre adoptee on a misguided search for his birthmother. The 2 freaky grifters join forces and get up to misadventures in this anti-authoritarian tale of friendship, trust and redemption.

The Owls at GFAF
2018-11-17 16:00 - 17:30 | Centre for Contemporary Arts, 350 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, G2 3JD, United Kingdom
Two OWL (older, wiser lesbian) couples accidentally kill a younger woman and hide the body but their dark secret comes back to haunt them in Cheryl Dunye’s experimental, collaborative movie, The Owls. Featuring Dunye’s trademark, self-reflexive style where both characters and actors create video diaries adjacent to the main narrative, The Owls also attempted collective filmmaking with cast and crew encouraged to pitch in ideas.

Those involved form a roll call of lesbian film excellence with Guinevere Turner, Lisa Gornick, V.S. Brodie, and Dunye playing the ageing, bitter queers, and Sarah Schulman, Alex Juhasz, and Campbell X amongst others working behind the scenes. Dunye’s fourth feature film as director is an under-appreciated examination of lesbian culture and aesthetics with a good dose of crime movie genre fun thrown in.

The film will be introduced by SQIFF’s Helen Wright. Screening as part of Glasgow Feminist Arts Festival, taking place 15 to 18 November.

Tickets are priced on a sliding scale £0-£8 depending on what you can afford. To book, please use the button below.

Buddies at Eden Court
2018-12-01 18:15 - 19:45 | Eden Court, Bishops Road, Inverness, IV3 5SA, United Kingdom
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.
In partnership with Waverley Care and Highland LGBT Forum for World AIDS Day.
Tickets are priced from £6.50 and will be available to buy from Eden Court’s box office soon.

Pulse
2018-12-06 15:15 - 16:45 | Centre for Contemporary Arts, 350 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, G2 3JD, United Kingdom
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.

After several years of pushing the queer porn filmmaking agenda in Scotland, SQIFF is delighted to be able to showcase some (sort of) homemade pornographic content. Bruce LaBruce creates a parody Scots porn character in Scotch Egg. Performer Candy Flip plays a straight girl impersonating a gay man and in a festish bar meets the homo she’s dreamed about, played by Scottish performer AJ Alexander.

Screening with Smoke gets in your eyes by Glasgow-based Dylan Meade, a character’s journey of sexual compulsion that winds through destruction of property and bodies, a coven of queer witches, and a vase in ass sex magic ritual.

The Wizard of Oz (an asexual reading)
2018-12-07 20:45 - 22:40 | Centre for Contemporary Arts, 350 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, G2 3JD, United Kingdom
1939 Hollywood fantasy movie, The Wizard of Oz, is known for its strong association with gay male culture, thought to be the origin for homosexual men using the code ‘Friend of Dorothy’ to identify themselves to each other from the 1950s onwards. However, other readings are possible. Academic writer Alexander Doty saw Dorothy as a lesbian, torn between her attraction to the femme Glinda and butch Wicked Witch of the West. Meanwhile, internet user ‘Spoofmaster’ posted a reading of the film online which regards Dorothy as asexual because she chooses gay non-human companions – that’s the Scarecrow, Tinman, and Cowardly Lion – whilst in Oz. We invite viewers to focus on the latter idea and think about asexuality and its hiddenness (or not!) in popular culture.
Introduced with the reading of extracts from Spoofmaster’s post in The Asexual Visibilty & Education Network’s online forum, titled ‘The Wizard of Oz: an asexual reading.’

Walking:Holding
2018-12-09 14:00 - 15:30 | The Space, London Road, 257 London Road, Glasgow, G40 1PE, United Kingdom
What does your town look like from someone else’s perspective? What’s it like to hold hands with a complete stranger and walk through the city centre?
Performance art and mobile technology converge in Walking:Holding, a meditative documentary that journeys through urban landscapes exploring identity and intimacy in public space with a focus on LGBTQ+ experiences.
This film is a response to Glasgow based artist Rosana Cade’s award-winning interactive performance of the same name, which invites audience members to embark on a carefully designed route through a town whilst holding hands with a series of different local participants. Shot entirely on mobile phones, the film follows the performance to 6 towns across the UK between June and November 2016, bookended by the Brexit vote and the election of Donald Trump. This unique collaborative documentary offers an insight into the intimate work at a particularly poignant time in terms of identity politics, weaving together a range of perspectives and experiences from across the country.
Followed by a discussion with the filmmakers and participants of the Walking:Holding performance. Supported by the Jerwood Charitable Foundation and using public funds from the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
