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.

Evangelical Christians and drag queens collide in the southern, Arkansas town of Eureka Springs, home to both a massive amphitheatre performing the Passion Play every year and a local gay bar with a tradition of gospel-inspired drag.

Recently single, Korean-born LA artist Sophia Lee – played by performance artist Vivian Bang (who also co-wrote the screenplay with director Daryl Wein) – devotes herself to her public performance art, whether it’s a provocative Korean perspective in the park on the LA Riots or quirky digital art on social media. To pay the bills, she does odd jobs for TaskRabbit. When a stranger makes Sophia late for a TaskRabbit gig, she loses her temper with her, only to run into her repeatedly and discover a strong connection.

Waiting for Beast (10m)
Dir: Nikki Silver, Country: USA, Year: 2014, Language/s: English
“Waiting for Beast is at once a whimsical nod at the camp of queer porn and a political, intimate commentary on life. As a wheelchair punk my DIY, my freedom, is mutual aid. We work with what we got! During the making of this film, I was waiting for a new power chair, waiting for folks to meet me as they can, and in turn, people wait for me as I romp around and am pushed in my manual chair. This is wheelchair smut, and we have various ways of getting our chairs and our sexy selves where we need to go.” Lyric Seal
Content note: Depiction of sex including light BDSM.
Sadistic Nurse (11m)
Dir: Pandora Blake, Country: UK, Year: 2015, Language/s: English

Frontiers (4m)
Dir. Eve McConnachie, Year: 2019
Frontiers questions traditional gendered roles in classical ballet by refusing to adhere to dated stereotypes: women powerfully command the space, men intimately embrace each other.

Content note: None.
we were always here (4m)
Dir. Michael Lee Richardson, Garry Mac, Year: 2019
A queer reimagining of the working men’s club. A dance-powered journey through space and time.

Acceptable Face (6m)
Dir: Holly Summerson, Year: 2019
“The sort of person who someone might say: ‘oh he’s gay, but he’s lovely!’” Acceptable Face is an animated discussion about the ‘ideal’ respectable queer person. How would they look, act, and let people know that they’re not “that kind of gay”? Based on a series of interviews with LGBTQ+ people, this experimental charcoal animation explores the pressure to be a ‘good example’, and the joy of refusing to conform.
Content note: Discussion of homophobia and transphobia.
Dix Pix (4m)
Dir. Steven Fraser, Year: 2019
Dix Pix is a short animated documentary that looks at the gay male/trans/non-binary body and why it is common for people to send naked pictures via dating apps. The documentary takes an experimental approach in its visual style and tackles themes of masculinity, queerness, solitude, and the body.
Content note: Depiction of animated nudity and sex.
2x+xy=1 (12m)
Dir. Wei Zhang, Year: 2019
Wei Zhang’s practice is an experimental film created by multi post-production technologies, including 3D animation. 2x+xy=1 is constructed by the abstract fluid matters and concrete polygons to display the feature of the non-binary and the binary, the expression of emotion and the symbol of predicament.
Content note: Depiction of nudity.
None of the Above (16m)
Dir. Siri Rødnes, Year: 2018
Embarking upon a distinctly postmodern cyber experiment, Cassie charts her dating odyssey on her personal vlog, posting regular updates to her ever-growing number of followers. But when sensitive rendezvous footage goes viral, she becomes a media pariah.
Content note: Depiction of homophobia, mental health issues, and suicide (graphic).
Roberta Cowell’s Story (1m)
Dir. Melissa J Clifford, Year: 2019
Roberta Cowell’s Story is a one minute short detailing the life and achievements of one of the most prolific British Trans Women of the 20th century.

Content note: Reference to transphobia.
A Woman is Her Most Beautiful on Her Wedding Day / Someone I Hate (3m)
Dir. Nastia Nikolskaya, Year: 2019
Titled both A Woman is Her Most Beautiful on Her Wedding day and Someone I hate, this film draws on the filmmaker/artist’s own upbringing in a more conservative and gender constrained environment. Employing ubiquitous wedding videography x perfume advertisement tropes, the work is a humorous exploration of how the narratives we have absorbed dictate our daily lives, driving our short-term and long-term decisions.
Content note: None.
Glue (4m)
Dir. Eleanor Capaldi, Year: 2019
When you’ve been dreaming of the past for so long, what do you do when she’s finally there? Agnes meets her ex, Anna, for the first time since their break up and needs to decide whether to stay stuck in the past or move on to the new.
Content note: None.
Possessive Skin (2m)
Dir. Myles McEachan, Year: 2019
“To accept yourself against the face of adversity, is the purest form of courage.” A self-reflective insight into the fundamentals of culture within the Trans masculine community, and how in an age that prides itself on inclusion, we still find segregation and discrimination within even the most marginalised of people, which reflects us inwards.
Content note: Description of mental health issues and transphobia.
What Is Happiness? (6m)
Dir. Claire Clark, Year: 2019
What Is Happiness? is a British Sign Language poem shining a light on some of the elements of that impossible question and showcasing positive representation of BSL poetry as an art form.

Content note: None.
Crypsis (9m)
Dir. Christopher McGill, Year: 2019
After fleeing for his life, a gay refugee files for asylum in Scotland. Lacking evidence, he decides to photograph himself in the dark techno world of a queer underground scene. Based on accounts of real-life African LGBT refugees and the challenges they face during the asylum process, Crypsis is a raw depiction of a grim reality obscured by vitriolic public debate about refugees and the broken system that surrounds them.
Content note: Discussion of homophobic violence; depiction of trauma.

Stonewall Scotland presents: Before Stonewall
2019-10-05 19:00 - 20:30 | The Seamore Neighbourhood Cinema, 304 Maryhill Road, Glasgow, G20 7YE, United Kingdom
On June 27 1969, police raided The Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in New York. In a spontaneous show of support and frustration, the city’s queer community rioted for three nights, an event often considered the birth of the modern LGBT Rights Movement. Revealing and often humorous, Before Stonewall exposes the fascinating decade-by-decade history of homosexuality in America, from 1920s Harlem through to World War II and the witch hunt trials of the McCarthy era. Essential viewing for all those who have celebrated their sexuality, or have been persecuted because of it.
In partnership with Stonewall Scotland, working to ensure LGBT communities here and abroad are Accepted Without Exception.
