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.

SUMMARY:Sqifflix: TRANSFINITE + shorts
DESCRIPTION:TRANSFINITE is a sci-fi omnibus feature film by Neelu Bhuman composed of seven standalone short stories where supernatural trans and queer people from various cultures use their powers to protect\, love\, teach\, fight\, and thrive. Most of us have been in situations where we feel completely powerless and deeply frustrated with the unfairness of it all. Sometimes we have lost control of life and sometimes we find a way to use our rage\, resentment\, and frustrations to grow a beautiful garden. In TRANSFINITE\, the protagonists\, like smooth warriors\, choose to find that inner power and use it to transform undesirable situations into desirable ones in a snap. \nScreening with shorts FETISH and Something In The Closet. In Topher Campbell’s FETISH a multi-dimensional being bestrides the streets of New York in defiance and celebration as he embodies the past\, present and future of Blackness. Featuring a mesmerising original score by Mercury Prize Award Winner’s Young fathers. Something In The Closet directed by Nosa Eke is about a queer teenager struggling with her sexuality\, as desires manifest their way from the depths of her eerie closet into reality. \nWe are pleased to be hosting a live discussion with Black queer UK artists’ responses to the films on Saturday 27 June at 7pm. The discussion will take place on SQIFF’s Facebook page at facebook.com/sqiff. Hosted by writer and programmer Harvey Dimond with filmmaker Nosa Eke and other guests tbc.\n \nIn partnership with LGBT Health & Wellbeing.
