SUMMARY:Sanctuary shorts in association with SQIFF + Q+A
DESCRIPTION:This community-curated programme* explores the acceptance of identity\, self\, and of the world around us\, while highlighting the universal experience of being queer–with a special focus on being lesbian. The films’ instinctive narratives show the lows of being ‘othered’\, and the highs of finding a safe space within that\, no matter what age\, country\, or time period. Join us for powerfully diverse stories\, told with heart\, honesty\, and a perfect amount of humour. You’ll leave the event with a new community of queer film-lovers: your very own sanctuary. \n*Back in July\, Sanctuary collaborated with SQIFF producer and co-founder Helen Wright to offer 2 online workshops for LGBTQIA+ people\, aged 18+\, to learn about film programming. Participants worked together to watch a selection of queer short films and make decisions about a final shorts programme. Thanks to Ewan McPherson\, Kate Hammer\, Liam Rees\, JD Stewart\, Merik Tiz\, Ben Cave\, Beth Cooper\, Jonathan McLean\, Vee Smith and Sand Owsnett. \nThis is a free event.
