SUMMARY:Reas + Post Screening Discussion
DESCRIPTION:🔊 Listen to this Event Page\n        \n    \n  \nIn collaboration with Scottish Documentary Institute\, we’re proud to present REAS: a ground-breaking documentary-musical by Lola Arias that explores queer solidarity and kinship within the carceral system. The screening will be enriched by a post-film relaxed 30-minute workshop with filmmaker Erica Monde. \nYoseli has a tattoo of the Eiffel Tower on her back and has always wanted to travel\, but she was arrested at the airport for drug trafficking. Nacho is a trans man who was arrested for swindling and started a rock band in jail. Gentle or rough\, blonde or shaved\, cis or trans\, long-term inmates or newly admitted: in this hybrid musical\, they all re-enact their lives in a Buenos Aires prison. \nReas is a collective work that reinvents the musical genre: the performers dance and sing about their past in prison\, relive their life as fiction\, and invent\, through fantasy and imagination\, a possible future for themselves. \nTickets are on a pay what you can sliding scale. To book\, click here. \n\n\nAccessibility: \n\nAn age recommendation of BBFC 15.\nContent Notes: Contains mentions of drug and people trafficking.\nSpanish language audio with English language descriptive subtitles.\nFilmhouse is wheelchair accessible\, with gender neutral toilets.\n\nThis screening is 79 minutes long with an introduction and post-film workshop. \nIf you have any other access needs you would like to discuss with us\, please get in touch with us at info@sqiff.org. \n\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  \nImage Credit: Reas\, Dir.

SUMMARY:Queer East Presents: Bye Bye Love (50th Anniversary) - SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:🔊 Listen to this Event Page\n        \n    \n**Please note this event is now sold out – we may be able to release more tickets nearer the screening. CCA Box Office are operating a waiting list for sold out events – please contact them directly or go to their website to be added to this!** \nUntil the 2018 discovery of a film negative in a warehouse\, Bye Bye Love was long considered lost: a new print gives audiences a rare chance to revisit this radical work from 1974. Following two young people\, Utamaro and Giko\, on a doomed summer road trip through Japan\, Isao Fujisawa’s poetic\, surreal work reflects on the dissipating promise of 1960s counterculture and free love. The film is stylistically influenced by the French New Wave and American New Cinema\, notably Jean-Luc Godard and Arthur Penn. Yet the main character’s name – Utamaro – also suggests a rethinking of Japanese artistic traditions\, especially male perspectives on feminine beauty. Here\, romantic love transcends gender\, sexuality\, and even the body; a queer challenge to conventional understandings of relationships that adds to the political charge of this rediscovered classic.  \nWith a recorded message from director Isao Fujisawa and special introduction by Xuanlin Tham. \nContent notes: Depiction of physical violence\, police\, sex\, gun violence\, death\, nudity\, cigarette use\, small amounts of blood\, cut. \nCurated by Yi Wang. \n  \nTickets are on a pay what you can sliding scale of FREE\, £2\, £4\, £6\, £8\, £10\, or £12. To book\, click here or call the CCA Box Office on 0141 352 4900. \n  \nAccessibility  \nThis programme has: \n\nEnglish\, Japanese audio with English language descriptive subtitles\nEnglish-BSL interpretation for the introduction\nLive Captioning for the introduction\n\nThis screening is 85 minutes long and has an age recommendation of N/C 18+. \nYou can find out more information about accessibility at SQIFF 2024 here. If you have any questions about accessibility at SQIFF 2024\, please get in touch with us at info@sqiff.org or by phone on 07873 331 036. \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  \nImage Credit: Bye Bye Love\, Dir.

SUMMARY:Queer East Presents: Peafowl 공작새
DESCRIPTION:🔊 Listen to this Event Page\n        \n    \n  \nShin-myung is a transgender woman and dancer who competes in waacking. Having cut ties with her family and rural hometown\, Shin-myung seeks various ways to fund her gender reassignment surgery.

He stipulated that Shin-myung can receive her inheritance money if she returns to the village and performs a traditional drum dance\, as part of his memorial rituals. Unwilling to yield to her intolerant father’s posthumous demands\, the unapologetic Shin-myung is forced to reluctantly reconnect with her past while staying true to herself.

SUMMARY:Framing Agnes + Conversation at An Lanntair\, Stornoway
DESCRIPTION:Agnes\, the pioneering\, pseudonymized\, transgender woman who participated in Harold Garfinkel’s gender health research at UCLA in the 1960s\, has long stood as a figurehead of trans history.  \nIn this rigorous cinematic exercise that blends fiction and nonfiction\, director Chase Joynt explores where and how her platform has become a pigeonhole. Framing Agnes endeavors to widen the frame through which trans history is viewed — one that has remained too narrow to capture the multiplicity of experiences eclipsed by Agnes’.  \nThrough a collaborative practice of reimagination\, an impressive lineup of trans stars take on vividly rendered\, impeccably vintage reenactments\, bringing to life groundbreaking artifacts of trans healthcare.  \nJoynt’s signature form-rupturing style radically reenvisions the imposition of the frame on the cultural memory of transness through his brilliantly crafted\, communally-driven excavation. This reclamation tears away with remarkable precision the myth of isolation as the mode of existence of transgender history-makers\, breathing new life into a lineage of collaborators and conspirators who have been forgotten for far too long. \nFollowing the screening of Framing Agnes\, stay tuned for a conversation with local trans and non-binary people on inter-generational trans experiences and creating space for the community. \nCurated by Indigo Korres. \nTickets are available on a pay what you can sliding scale of FREE\, £5\, £6.50\, £8. To book\, click here \n  \nAccessibility: \nThis screening has an age recommendation of N/C 15+. \nEnglish audio and British Sign Language with English language captions. BSL-English interpretation for intro and post-film conversation. \nAudio description available for the film. Headsets available at the cinema entrance. \nQuiet Room available. \nInduction Loop available. \n75 minutes long with a 45 minutes post-film conversation. \nWe have an Audience Access Fund for travel costs.

They are passionate about utilising the arts to build nurturing and accessible community spaces\, and loves chatting about queer films and stories. \nCurated by Indigo Korres. \nTickets are available on a pay what you can sliding scale of FREE\, £2\, £4\, £6\, £8\, or £10.

SUMMARY:Watch Party: Water Makes Us Wet: An Ecosexual Adventure
DESCRIPTION:With a poetic blend of curiosity\, humour\, sensuality\, and concern\, this film chronicles the pleasures and politics of H2O from an ecosexual perspective. Travel with Annie\, a former sex worker\, Beth\, a professor\, and their dog Butch\, in their E.A.R.T.H. Lab mobile unit\, as they explore the role of water. Ecosexuality shifts the metaphor “Earth as Mother” to “Earth as Lover” to create a more reciprocal and empathetic relationship with the natural world. Along the way\, Annie and Beth interact with a diverse range of folks including performance artists\, biologists\, water treatment plant workers\, scholars and others\, climaxing in a shocking event that reaffirms the power of water\, life and the earth.

SUMMARY:Watch Party: Tongues Untied
DESCRIPTION:In his own words\, Marlon Riggs aimed to shatter the “nation’s brutalizing silence on matters of sexual and racial difference” with his 1989 film Tongues Untied.
