SUMMARY:We Are Eternal
DESCRIPTION:Listen to this Event Page\n  \nLove takes many shapes. In this selection of shorts from Brazil\, different kinds of love move through distinct relationships. Not eternal as in forever unchanged\, but constantly evolving: a throuple that keeps choosing each other as illness rewrites what they remember. Travesti friends who sit together inside grief rather than apart from it. Lovers locked out of their own home\, borrowing warmth from strangers until morning. A father and estranged son bound by an ache neither can name. A deaf man and a stranger\, something quiet beginning\, while an old friendship watches close by. \nThese films hold each of these bonds as a kind of eternity\, not because it lasts unchanged\, but because it keeps being shaped and reshaped. Every connection here is built\, lost\, and often but not always built again. Eternity is not permanence\, but persistence. Love that survives by being chosen\, over and over again. \nCurated by Indigo Korres and Ricky Mastro. Presented in partnership with Mostra Queer Brasil. \n  \nClick here to book your ticket for this event. \nTickets are on a pay what you can sliding scale of FREE\, £4\, £8\, £12\, £16\, or £20\, in order to make SQIFF more accessible to those on a low income.

SUMMARY:Beyond Words
DESCRIPTION:Listen to this Event Page\n  \nWhat can a body say that words cannot?  \nBeyond Words moves between BSL\, breath\, music\, choreography\, vibration and touch\, following the many ways meaning can travel through the body. Across these films\, bodies become letters\, instruments\, signals and landscapes\, carrying desire\, memory\, fear\, pleasure and resistance.  \nAn alphabet is danced through ruins. A bog breathes. A kiss turns into a choir. A pop star battles her own manufactured personas. Elsewhere\, bodies move under surveillance\, fall in love\, grieve and find new ways to make themselves understood.  \nThese films do not exist outside language. They stretch it\, remix it and have a little fun with what it can become.  \nCurated by Nat Lall & Huss. \n  \nClick here to book your ticket for this event. \nTickets are on a pay what you can sliding scale of FREE\, £4\, £8\, £12\, £16\, or £20\, in order to make SQIFF more accessible to those on a low income.

If you have any questions about accessibility at SQIFF\, please get in touch with us at info@sqiff.org \n  \nFilms in this programme include: \nMINT\, Dir. Tomasz Grabowski\, 2025\, Poland\, 18 min. \nMINT is a silent experimental journey into a world without sound. Across five chapters\, Deaf bodies\, memories and gestures become a language of their own. Through Polish Sign Language\, surreal imagery and moments of intimacy\, the film explores silence not as absence\, but as a space of expression\, desire and imagination. \n  \nDeep Breath\, Dir. Freya Spencer-Wood\, 2024\, United Kingdom\, 4 min. \nBuilding upon data produced by peatland scientists\, Deep Breath showcases the dance between the mythical will-o’-the-wisp\, phenomena of bog breathing and the landownership crisis in Scotland. The film discusses the tension between cultural perception of peatlands and landscape restoration in the context of an accelerating and unregulated carbon market. \nContent notes: Discussion of climate crises. \n  \nSamodiva (kissing choir)\, Dirs. Tomislav Latinovic\, Mathilda Harrison\, 2026\, United Kingdom\, 19 min. \nSometimes anticipation outshines the satisfaction of a kiss. I’m excited by the build-up and the tension\, when my hairs stand on end and my body feels fizzy. Things that were gross ten minutes ago become beautiful and erotic. We reach this meditative state in our thoughts\, sinking into our future satisfaction. Release is tainted by the knowledge that I’ve done this before\, and I’ll need to do it again. Live scored\, performed and recorded by the Voicing Choir\, a free community choir based in London. \nAccess notes: Loud sounds.  \nContent notes: Depiction of eroticism. \n  \nCHARITY!\, Dir. Stephen T Lally\, 2025\, Ireland\, United Kingdom\, 15 min.  \nSet on the eve of the Millenium\, ‘CHARITY!’ tells the story of a closeted Irish Y2K pop princess who undergoes a surreal assault on the senses as she wrestles with the cost of fame and a diabolical record label who’ll stop at NOTHING to make her a star. \nAccess notes: Flashing imagery. \nContent notes: Depiction of mild body horror\, and mild violence. \n  \nAbjad Hawaz (أبجد هوز)\, Dir. Hadi Moussally\, 2025\, France\, Lebanon\, Spain\, 5 min. \nAbjad Ḥawaz (أبجد هوز) takes its name from the ancient ordering of the Arabic alphabet. Through the body of Salma Zahore\, each letter is danced and embodied in the ruins of Barcelona. Blending fashion\, music\, poetry\, and performance\, the film reclaims a language often feared and misunderstood\, turning it into a celebration of identity\, resilience\, and artistic freedom. \n  \nHave/Are/Will Always\, Dir. Sam Digges Hunter\, 2025\, United States\, 5 min. \nOn February 22nd\, 2025\, a small group of transgender people gathered in Charlotte\, North Carolina\, USA\, where they enjoyed each other’s company and food. The resulting video is the only documentation of this event. Soundtrack by Scotty Townsend. \n  \nUBIQUITOUS\, Dir. Masha Maroutitch\, 2025\, United Kingdom\, 7 min. \nA young man is forced to confront feelings of self-rejection and isolation as he struggles to express his love for his best friend. ‘UBIQUITOUS’ is a short film that blends music\, visual poetry and an emotionally grounded performance to tell the story of a young man battling with internalised homophobia and unrequited love. \n  \nHow To Dance\, Dir. Aileen Ye\, 2026\, Netherlands\, United Kingdom\, 10 min. \nWhen every movement is surveilled\, the body learns to speak in new ways\, sensing freedom not merely as an idea\, but as a vibration. \nAccess notes: Flashing imagery. \nContent notes: Discussion of racism\, surveillance. \n  \nDonate: \nDonate to SQIFF via PayPal or sign up to one of our four Patreon tiers to support our work and show us you’re a big SQIFF fan 🌈✨ \n  \nSupported by Screen Scotland\, the BFI Audience Projects Fund and Film Hub Scotland (part of the BFI Film Audience Network)\, all awarding National Lottery funding. \n  \nImage Credit: MINT\, Dir.
