SUMMARY:SQIFF Schools: Norfolk Trans Youth: Respecting & Understanding Differences
DESCRIPTION:Commissioned by Mancroft Advice Project\, a Norwich-based charity\, and created by Scottish filmmaker Nicole O’Reilly\, Norfolk Trans Youth: Respecting & Understanding Differences gives a voice to young trans people. Incorporating interviews with trans youth in Norfolk\, O’Reilly’s debut feature gives its participants space to explain transness in their own words. Issues of discrimination\, visibility\, and media representation are discussed. Norfolk Trans Youth uses an eclectic pallet of stylistic techniques\, attempting to find a new way to use the documentary format to reflect trans experiences. Merging factual documentary with experimental techniques\, this is a visually inventive film centring a group often marginalised in conversations about their personhood. \nDirector Nicole O’Reilly will join us for a Q&A after the screening. Kindly sponsored by LGBT Youth Scotland\, who will also join us at the event to give information about their work supporting LGBTI young people. \nThis is a free event open to school groups only.

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.
