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.

SUMMARY:Dream Access Focus Group SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:**Please note this event is now sold out. You can join a waiting list by clicking Buy Tickets below and we will contact you if a space becomes available** \nDisability provision is almost always a second thought even in places that are all about radical inclusivity – this is the case with queer spaces as well. This workshop is an opportunity to listen to advocates experiencing diverse disabilities\, and to find solutions for radical access provisions in a collaborative way. Documentation of the event\, in the form of a zine to share with SQIFF and other festivals\, will provide a community-based\, co created list of problems and suggested solutions\, prioritising input from excluded communities rather than theoretical ‘best practices.’ \nEvent led by Disabled activist Luke Murphy. Zine created by Dr of medieval queer+trans theology\, storyteller\, and zine-maker\, Jonah Coman. \nPlease note this workshop is intended for Deaf and Disabled participants. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets are free.

SUMMARY:All The Feels!: Ultimate Queer Fanvid Playlist
DESCRIPTION:Fanvids are short films using music\, edited by fans in an expression of all the feels around their favourite fandoms. Even with today’s films and television bursting with more queer characters than ever\, we still fight for true recognition\, representation\, and stories that go beyond the sometimes disappointing and limiting storylines we are given. Every fanvid is a DIY work of art\, combining music and clever edits to celebrate favourite shows\, rework plots\, commiserate in collective sadness\, and whatever feels there are to be had! \nCurated by Tara Brown\, queer crip Black fat femme and Fringe! Queer film & arts fest and freelance film curator. \nClick here for Tara’s YouTube playlist. \nACCESS \nThis playlist has an age recommendation of N/C 12+. \nThe fanvids have English audio. Some have English language captions or a transcript. Transcript of the other vids coming soon. With apologies for the lack of captions on all videos thanks to YouTube removing the option for community captions. Click here to sign a petition for YouTube to reverse this decision. \nThe playlist is 34 minutes long. \nContent notes: Discussion of homophobia\, biphobia\, and racism; depiction of brief nudity\, sex\, violence\, and blood. \n\n\n\n\nThe videos in All the Feels!: Ultimate Queer Fanvid Playlist include some loud music and fast editing. \n\n\n\n\nWe have a limited access fund to assist people with no or limited internet access to attend the Festival. If you would like to take this up\, please contact info@sqiff.org. \nIf you have any questions about accessibility at SQIFF 2020\, please contact info@sqiff.org.

SUMMARY:Sqifflix: More Love from Neelu
DESCRIPTION:Click here to access the full programme. \nOur special shorts programme More Love from Neelu showcases films by award-winning artist and filmmaker Neelu Bhuman\, whose feature film TRANSFINITE we are screening online 25 – 28 June. Neelu’s work explores social and political themes as they play out in close relations. Playfully evoking insights into the workings of difference in intimacy\, their films blend viewpoints ranging from race\, gender\, sexuality\, culture\, class\, and romance. \nIn FU377\, the dignity of queer people in India is under attack through Section 377\, which the Supreme Court had recently re-introduced\, re-criminalising ‘gay sex\,’ when the film was made in 2014. Meanwhile\, an adorable Indian mother is totally down with gay sex and wheels out some choice lines for her heartbroken queer daughter in an effort to cheer her up. \nMore Love. Less Prepackaged Bullshit. (2017) is set to the soul beat of Assata Shakur\, and features a trio resisting dystopia with a bowl of joy\, intimacy\, and love. \nNeelu’s 2016 short ṣadāqa is a kaleidoscopic view of friendship transcending borders. \nAll films have English language subtitles or captions. See notes for below for each film’s language/s\, level of accessibility for blind and partially sighted people\, age recommendation\, content notes\, and if the film contains flashing lights or sound levels that might be disturbing for some. These notes are also found on each film’s page on vimeo. \nThe films are all free to watch with thanks to Neelu Bhuman.

The scorching IPC Section 377 is re-unleashed to police to criminalise “gay sex” in India. While the law and the Supreme Court dated themselves back a few hundred years\, an adorable Indian mother has her knowledge of “gay sex” in mint condition\, wheeling out a tidbit or two for her heartbroken queer daughter in an effort to cheer her up.

SUMMARY:Sqifflix & Chill
DESCRIPTION:Click here to access the full programme. \nOur shorts programme Sqifflix & Chill\, as the title suggests\, includes a varied bunch of films about romantic love\, its joys\, pain\, and complexities. Sweet stories of intense connection are found in Selina Robertson’s Couple Time and Dickie Heart’s Passengers. Some of the painful and problematic aspects of love and dating are considered in Sam Berliner’s Dating Sucks about seeking love whilst trans\, and Rob Eagle’s Harding & his camera\, which investigates traces of illicit love in archives and the white gaze. Violent and oppressive structures that try to curtail who gets to be with who are the core of Adrian Garcia Gomez’s Mikveh about governments refusing to recognise certain relationships\, and Kiana Kalantar-Hormozi’s Poly Amour\, which decontructs conventional romantic structures. For a dark comedy approach to the madness that sometimes interferes with people’s love life\, Netflix & Chips is about a woman with a hot date who can’t get her chip shop job off her mind. \nAll films have English language subtitles or captions. See notes for below for each film’s language/s\, level of accessibility for blind and partially sighted people\, age recommendation\, content notes\, and if the film contains flashing lights or sound levels that might be disturbing for some.
