SUMMARY:Document presents: The Gospel of Eureka
DESCRIPTION:Evangelical Christians and drag queens collide in the southern\, Arkansas town of Eureka Springs\, home to both a massive amphitheatre performing the Passion Play every year and a local gay bar with a tradition of gospel-inspired drag. Despite chasms in political and religious viewpoints\, the townspeople are universally charming and warm\, even whilst battling over a historic vote on an anti-discrimination ordinance. The Gospel of Eureka takes a personal and often comical look at negotiating differences between religion and belief through performance\, political action\, and partnership. Narrated by artist and performer\, Mx Justin Vivian Bond. \nIn partnership with Document Human Rights Film Festival\, which takes place 30 November to 2 December at Scottish Youth Theatre in Glasgow’s Merchant City. See documentfilmfestival.org for more details. \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/873598289′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nFilm in the English language with English language subtitles/captions. The post-film discussion will be BSL interpreted. 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.

SUMMARY:SQIFF Shorts: Tender Anguish
DESCRIPTION:Harika Özer is an impoverished trans sex worker whose family sought refuge from Siirt to Manisa in Turkey in the 80s. Raf\, a young queer man in the UK\, struggles to find his place amongst the crowd in a dive gay bar. Icarus arrives in a new city in Brazil and begins an affair with a man that soon goes agonisingly wrong. Real historical figure Mary MacLane cuts a forlorn queer figure in her lonely Montana hometown at the turn of the 20th Century. And Fetish is a Black man in the streets reclaiming his body through magic\, fire\, and defiance. Each character experiences pain and vulnerability and must negotiate how to cope in these stories of tenderness and anguish. \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/873598286′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nFilms are in English\, Portuguese\, and Turkish languages with English language subtitles/captions.

In his own words\, he is a transsexual feeling female spirit in his own body since early childhood. He has lived in Izmir since 2000 and makes a living through prostitution. This work is a documentary project realised by Harika (literally translated as ‘wonderful’)\, posing for the camera with all his self-confidence and courage. It gives the audience a non-judgemental stance against homophobia. \nFour Quartets (10m)\nDir. Marco Alessi\, Year: 2018\nOver the course of a night out in a gay dive bar\, Raf struggles to find his place amongst the crowd. Four Quartets is a short film about queer community\, and how the anxieties and conditioning we face sometimes stop us from letting ourselves belong. \nAdeus Estrada de Tijolos Amarelos (19m)\nDir. Hiran Matheus\, Year: 2018\nIcarus arrives in another city to try life as a telemarketer\, but when he goes out at night he is caught by a boy. Screenplay based on a Elton John song and filmed with a cell phone. \nBetween my flesh and the world’s fingers (31m)\nDir. Talena Sanders\, Year: 2018\nMary MacLane\, the Wild Woman of Butte\, Montana\, published her diaries in 1902 and 1917. As an out queer and proto-feminist at the turn of the century\, MacLane became notorious upon the publication of her 1902 diary\, I Await the Devil’s Coming. She was whisked away from the industrial hellscape of her copper mining Montana hometown to a life in the public eye as an author\, journalist\, female film pioneer and always a provocateur – sending up social norms throughout her career\, with a special focus on staid notions about women and sexuality. \nBetween my flesh and the world’s fingers is an experimental essay and diary film primarily based on her published diaries and her film work. \nFETISH (16m)\nDir. Topher Campbell\, Year: 2018\nThe character of Fetish is a representation of so many things. He is at once a clear form – a body – and formless\, like the bodies of Basquiat. As a Black man in the streets\, he is both positioned by othering and places himself in a world of looking\, power\, strength\, harassment\, fashion\, sexual objectification\, invisibility\, visibility\, admiration\, CCTV\, selfies\, vulnerability\, humour\, performance\, protest\, danger\, violence and humour. If you have ever been stopped by police for being Black\, embarrassment\, futility and vulnerability are at the apex of the experience. Or\, as is the case with Tamir\, Philando\, Freddy\, Sandra and so on\, being dead and treated like shit is what happens. Fetish in this film experiences and represents this painful embarrassment and vulnerability. It’s hard to watch and painful to experience. \nBy the end of the film through magic\, through fire\, through defiance\, through being a multi-dimensional being in touch with the elements\, Fetish reclaims his body and stands like a colossus in The City.
