SUMMARY:Buddies at Eden Court
DESCRIPTION:Considered the first feature-length film made about AIDS\, Buddies revolves around 25 year old David who volunteers to visit with an AIDS patient to offer support and comfort. He is assigned to older Robert\, a gay activist abandoned by his friends and lovers. The action is contained within Robert’s hospital room and is as claustrophobic as it is grand in its profundity. As David is changed by knowing Robert\, so too does the viewer gain knowledge and insight into a devastating era of gay history in this new 2K digital restoration of a queer classic. \nIn partnership with Waverley Care and Highland LGBT Forum for World AIDS Day. \nTickets are priced from £6.50 and will be available to buy from Eden Court’s box office soon. \nACCESS \nFilm in the English language with English language subtitles/captions. Hearing loop available. \nFilm relies on visual material to convey ideas but has a lot of voiceover and commentary\, so is relatively accessible for blind and partially sighted audiences. Large print versions of handouts available. \nEden Court has good access for wheelchair users. Click here for more details on venue access. \nWe have a limited travel fund to assist people to come to the Festival for those who could not otherwise afford to attend.

SUMMARY:SQIFF Schools: Out (CCA)
DESCRIPTION:So much of young people’s experience of sexual and gender identity in the present day comes via the internet. However\, the old pain and awkwardness of ‘coming out’ to friends and family remains the same.

The event is kindly sponsored by LGBT Youth Scotland. \nThis event is free and only open to schools. The film and discussion are suitable for S1-6. Please email helen@sqiff.org to book spaces. \n  \nACCESS \nFilm mostly in the English language with English language subtitles/captions. Hearing loop available. \nFilm relies on visual material to convey ideas but has a lot of voiceover and commentary\, so is relatively accessible for blind and partially sighted audiences.

DESCRIPTION:After several years of pushing the queer porn filmmaking agenda in Scotland\, SQIFF is delighted to be able to showcase some (sort of) homemade pornographic content. Bruce LaBruce creates a parody Scots porn character in Scotch Egg. Performer Candy Flip plays a straight girl impersonating a gay man and in a festish bar meets the homo she’s dreamed about\, played by Scottish performer AJ Alexander.

SUMMARY:SQIFF Shorts: Bodies and Borders
DESCRIPTION:The most urgent issues surrounding identity and oppression revolve around bodies and borders. In Being Okey\, a gay Nigerian man is denied asylum in Switzerland and consequently caught between the constant fear of being sent home and hope of a life in safety. ABEO is an animation by Latinx artist Brenda M. Lopez Zepeda depicting the journey of two immigrants risking their lives to cross the Arizona desert. My Shoreline is an experimental film-poem about a disabled queer body in water\, and My Own Wings documents intersex people from around the world. Working class queer bodies and class borders are forefronted in Krissy Mahan’s All in a Day’s Work and the implication of supposed sexual boundaries is explored in Patricia Silva’s bisexual ode\, A Feeling More Than a Picture. Finally\, legendary lesbian filmmaker Barbara Hammer’s new short\, Evidentiary Bodies\, is a plea for empathy and compassion generated through the viewing of other beings.  \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/873598338/events/128819651′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nFilms in English and Spanish languages with English language subtitles/captions.

Andrew Black\, Year: 2017\nExpanding on elements of Pamela Colman Smith’s drawing for The Moon tarot card – two dogs\, a freshwater crayfish\, a pool of water\, a mountainous landscape – Submerged Village takes discrete moments at rural locations in Yorkshire and the West coast of Scotland and claims them as queer experiences.

It exists in a gap\, without definition. \nZombie Queer Punk Urban Post Porn Horror Show (5m)\nDir. Tchivett\, Year: 2017\nBasically a crazy romp through industrial Berlin by porn stars made up as zombies\, all of them licking and humping anything in sight like they’re fresh brains.
