SUMMARY:ATOPOS\, generi teatranti
DESCRIPTION:Atopos Compagnia Teatrale is an Italian theatre company bringing together professional and non-professional actors\, both trans- and cisgender. This documentary is about their experiences in the creation of Atopos’ flagship production\, Human Variables.

Human Variables is a show that builds on the real life experiences of the actors appearing on stage\, ready to lay themselves bare at the same time as putting on a costume. A story of the eternal dialectic between actor and character\, truth and fiction\, life and theatre. \nDirector Alberto Amoretti and cinematographer Giovanni Hänninen of ATOPOS will be in attendance for a Q&A after the screening.

SUMMARY:Queer Horror: A Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge
DESCRIPTION:Described as ‘The Gayest Horror Movie Ever Made’\, Freddy’s Revenge is the first of many sequels to Wes Craven’s 1984 classic A Nightmare on Elm Street. Maligned for being cheap trash on its release\, the second film in the franchise has achieved cult status for its gloriously campy queer subtext. Virginal teenager\, Jesse\, feels he has something inside him that needs to ‘come out\,’ which turns out\, of course\, to be Freddy Krueger. Beyond this unsubtle\, central metaphor\, Jesse has a suspiciously close relationship with his male friend\, a sadomasochistic gym teacher who literally gets stripped and whipped\, and a supposed love interest who looks like Meryl Streep. \nIntroduced by Jordan Phillips\, queer horror maestro at Queen Margaret University. \nACCESS: Level access with Cinema plus accessible toilets all on ground floor (CCA). Film screening with subtitles for D/deaf and hard of hearing access. Hearing loop available. BSL interpretation for introduction. English language film.\n \n£5 / £4 conc / Free for unemployed and asylum seekers. Festival pass £40 / £30 conc.

SUMMARY:When We Are Together We Can Be Everywhere
DESCRIPTION:When Marit Östberg finally had enough time to edit the footage she shot in 2011\, it was already four years old. And\, by then\, her idea of a mockumentary on how to (and how not to) make queer porn had quietly changed into something different: a nostalgic look at nostalgia and a way to rewrite her own history. Now\, she could look back at the idealism of the community she had lived and worked in\, but from the perspective of knowing how things had turned out. The result became something beautiful and thoughtful and funny and sad – and still very\, very hot. A film for sex-positive dreamers everywhere. \nWe’re pleased star Liz Rosenfeld will join us for a Q&A after the screening. Presented in partnership with Goethe Institut Glasgow. \nACCESS: Level access with Cinema plus accessible toilets all on ground floor (CCA). Film mostly in English language screening with subtitles for D/deaf and hard of hearing access. Some German language segments throughout.

SUMMARY:Tchindas
DESCRIPTION:Tchinda is one of the most beloved women on Cape Verde\, especially after coming out as trans in a local newspaper in 1998.

SUMMARY:Henry Gamble's Birthday Party
DESCRIPTION:Henry Gamble\, the mild-mannered son of a small-town pastor\, is turning seventeen. Friends\, family\, and select members of his father’s congregation have gathered at his home for some wholesome pool party fun. However\, Henry finds himself caught between the evangelical teachings of his conservative upbringing and developing feelings he has for his male friends. A perceptive and passionate account of a young queer person growing up within the sometimes stifling confines of a devoutly religious household\, director Stephen Cone’s beautifully realised film is a quietly gripping exercise in simmering tension and burgeoning emotions. \nContent note: mention of suicide and scene of self-harm. \nACCESS: Level access with Cinema plus accessible toilets all on ground floor (CCA). Film screening with subtitles for D/deaf and hard of hearing access. Hearing loop available. Film in English language.\n \n£5 / £4 conc / Free for unemployed and asylum seekers.

SUMMARY:Out Run
DESCRIPTION:As leader of the world’s only LGBT political party\, Bemz Benedito dreams of being the first transgender woman in the Philippine Congress. But in a predominantly Catholic nation\, rallying for LGBT representation is not an easy feat.

Taking their equality campaign to small-town hair salons and regional beauty pageants\, the activists mobilise working-class trans hairdressers and beauty queens to join the fight against their main political opponent\, a homophobic evangelical preacher\, and convince the Filipino electorate to get behind LGBT rights. \nIn association with Document\, Glasgow’s International Human Rights Documentary Film Festival. \nACCESS: Level access with Cinema plus accessible toilets all on ground floor (CCA).
