SUMMARY:Watch Party: The Cancer Journals Revisited
DESCRIPTION:The Cancer Journals Revisited is prompted by the question of what it means to re-visit and re-vision Black lesbian feminist poet Audre Lorde’s classic 1980 memoir of her breast cancer experience today. At the invitation of filmmaker Lana Lin\, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010\, twenty-seven writers\, artists\, activists\, health care advocates\, and current and former patients recite Lorde’s manifesto aloud on camera\, collectively dramatising it and producing an oration for the screen. The film is both a critical commentary and a poetic reflection upon the precarious conditions of survival within the intimate and politicised public sphere of illness. \nFollowed by a Q&A with director Lana Lin hosted by Anahit Behrooz. Anahit is an arts journalist based in Edinburgh\, currently working as events editor at The Skinny and commissioning editor at Bella Caledonia\, with bylines in The List\, Girls on Tops\, and Club des Femmes among others.

DESCRIPTION:Through comprehensive interviews focused on seven individuals from different backgrounds\, this documentary examines the LGBTQI+ community in Buenos Aires\, Argentina. History and biography meld with the fiercely political as we learn of several overlapping struggles in the vast city.

Yet in this great variety of perspectives and histories lies a shared goal: a safer\, freer society for all. \nFollowed by a filmmaker Q&A. Part of Daydreams and Testimonials: Queer South America\, curated by lesbian Argentinian translator\, writer\, and comedian A.B. Silvera.

SUMMARY:Sqifflix: TRANSFINITE + shorts

SUMMARY:Black History Month: Portrait of Jason
DESCRIPTION:Portrait of Jason shows sex worker and entertainer\, Jason Holliday\, recounting his life story for filmmaker Shirley Clarke. \nJason is the sole on-screen presence in the film. He narrates his life story to the camera\, behind which Clarke and her partner at the time\, actor Carl Lee\, provoke and berate Jason with increasing hostility as the film progresses. The film alleges to employ avant-garde and cinéma vérité techniques to reach the tragedy underlying Jason’s performative persona. However\, Portrait of Jason is one of if not the first documentation of black queer experiences and trauma exploited by white ‘gatekeepers’ for the sake of the artist’s cultural and financial capital gains. \nAlthough Portrait of Jason is a landmark film\, there is a need here to discuss the fuzzy problem of ‘visibility’ within the white/capitalist domination of visual culture. Are the lines between exposure and exploitation blurred in Portrait of Jason? \nCurated and hosted by Sequoia Barnes\, an art/design scholar and doctoral candidate at The School of Design with Edinburgh College of Art. Presented as part of Black History Month in partnership with Coalition for Racial Equality and Rights (CRER). \nFree. To book\, please use the button below or call CCA box office on +44 (0)141 352 4900. \n[bra_button text=’Buy Tickets’ url=’https://ccaglasgow.ticketsolve.com/shows/873612019/events/129093020′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nThis screening has an age recommendation of N/C 15+. \nFilm has English audio with English language subtitles/captions.

SUMMARY:Lemebel
DESCRIPTION:Pedro Lemebel’s sharp\, poetic texts and provocative performances make him one of South America’s most significant artists. Under Pinochet’s dictatorship in Chile\, Lemebel expressed things most wouldn’t dare. For the country’s left-wing opposition\, his queerness made him an awkward figure as he exposed their machismo and homophobia. Lemebel embodied an uncomfortable gay identity and fiercely criticised the wish of some queer people to assimilate. Lemebel uses slides and video clips to shape an essay-like memento\, enhanced with intimate interviews\, to portray a tireless fighter who continued to speak out until the end of his life. \nJoanna Reposi Garibaldi will join us for a Q&A after the screening. Kindly sponsored by Scottish Documentary Institute. Part of strand Latinx Legends. Joanna will also be giving a workhop on documentary filmmaking as part of the Festival.

SUMMARY:Cassandro\, the Exotico!
DESCRIPTION:Cassandro is a well-known lucha libre wrestler known for his extravagant gayness and equally spectacular wrestling moves.

When she brings her white western boyfriend for a visit to China\, pregnant Huang Xiaoyu gets caught up in her parent’s ongoing feud. Her father’s gay affairs and her worn-out mother’s seduction by a predatory cult bring matters to a crescendo as the narrative jumps cleverly between past and present.

SUMMARY:A Girl’s Band
DESCRIPTION:From 80s punk to modern day synth pop\, rocking Argentinian queer women artists are chronicled in A Girl’s Band by bassist turned filmmaker\, Marilina Giménez. Her band YiLet broke up long ago but Giménez still has access to dozens of musicians who are ready to speak their truths about partying on the road\, sexual harassment\, and the recognised truth that any men in ‘girl bands’ ruin the whole vibe. Veteran bands like The She-Devils get the mosh pits going\, while newcomers Chocolate Remix and Miss Bolivia reinvent reggaeton and pop. These women also double as badass activists fighting for safe and legal abortions whilst being determined to make an indelible mark on the stomping girl-led music scene in Argentina. \nIn association with Girls Rock Glasgow with an introduction by Sarah Glass from band The Fnords. \nTickets are priced on a sliding scale £0-£8 depending on what you can afford. To book\, please use the button below or call CCA box office on +44 (0)141 352 4900. \n[bra_button text=’Buy Tickets’ url=’https://ccaglasgow.ticketsolve.com/shows/873611623/events/129089657′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nThis screening has an age recommendation of N/C 12+. \nFilm has Spanish\, Italian\, and English audio with English language subtitles/captions.
