SUMMARY:Queerly Beloved
DESCRIPTION:🔊 Listen to this Event Page\n        \n    \n  \nJoin us for a vibrant collection of short films that dive into queer experiences with wit\, warmth\, and a generous dose of heart. These stories celebrate the everyday absurdities\, quiet triumphs\, and unapologetic joy that shape queer life. In a world that so often focuses on queer pain\, this programme shifts the spotlight to laughter\, love\, and the resilience found in connection. \nExpect a dynamic mix of voices and perspectives. From awkward firsts to bold declarations\, from moments of celebration to quiet self-discovery\, each film brings its own spark. What unites them is a spirit of humour that uplifts\, disarms\, and gently insists on being seen. \nThe evening opens with a stand-up set by the brilliant Kathleen Hughes\, whose sharp comedy sets the tone for what’s to come. After the films\, stay with us for a live performance by the electrifying Craig Manson. \nCome laugh with us. Maybe cry a little too. This is queer storytelling at its most joyful\, defiant and alive.  \nCurated by Huss. \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.
