SUMMARY:We Are Here
DESCRIPTION:🔊 Listen to this Event Page\n        \n    \n  \nThis documentary from LGBT activists Zhao Jing and Shi Tou revisits the 1995 United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women\, which was hosted in Beijing. The conference was attended by 300 lesbian women from around the world\, whose organisers sought to facilitate queer participation\, visibility\, and recognition in the context of broader discussions around women’s rights. The first-ever lesbian tent at a UN NGO forum was created\, where ideas were shared\, connections were made\, and identities were affirmed; the gathering helped spearhead the birth of the queer lala movement in China. Featuring footage of the event\, and interview commentary from those who participated\, We Are Here testifies to the importance of global queer interactions in shaping the ongoing struggle for equality. \nCurated by Queer East. \n  \nClick here to book your ticket for this event \nTickets are on a pay what you can sliding scale of FREE\, £4\, £8\, £12\, £16\, or £20\, in order to make SQIFF more accessible to those on a low income.

SUMMARY:Halloween Night: The Serpent's Skin
DESCRIPTION:🔊 Listen to this Event Page\n        \n    \n  \nJoin us for a ghoulishly good night of queer horror at SQIFF’s Halloween screening! This chilling double bill sinks its teeth into the monstrous and the sensual\, the grotesque and the beautiful. \nFirst up is ¡Beso de lengua! by José Luiz Zorrero\, a surreal and seductive descent into a world where desire takes monstrous form. Then\, The Serpent’s Skin by Alice Maio Mackay slithers into darker territory\, weaving a tale of trans identity\, vengeance\, and the supernatural\, with all the blood-soaked camp you’d expect from a Mackay horror. \nBoth films push the boundaries of body\, gender\, and genre\, creating a perfect night of queer frights and delights. The fabulous Jaye Hudson from TGirlsOnFilm will introduce the films and host a Best Halloween Costume Competition! Come dressed to impress for a chance to win a pint of SQIFF and Closet Brewing’s Director’s Cut. Let’s celebrate Halloween the queerest way we know how! \nCurated by Indigo Korres. \n  \nClick here to book your ticket for this event \nTickets are on a pay what you can sliding scale of FREE\, £4\, £8\, £12\, £16\, or £20\, in order to make SQIFF more accessible to those on a low income.
