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.

If you would like to apply for this\, please contact access@sqiff.org. \nTickets \nIn order to make SQIFF more accessible to those on a low income\, we use a sliding scale ticket price of £0-£8 for our events. You can choose what you pay based on your circumstances – you won’t be asked for any proof / ID\, we just ask that you are honest! Our ticket sales go towards supporting the vital work of LGBTQ+ filmmakers\, artists and organisers. If you have a free ticket and can no longer use it\, please contact the relevant venue box office to let them know so it can be used by someone else. For more info on what you should pay\, click here. \n  \nThe Wonderful Affair (5m)\nDir: Tahir Ün\, Year: 2016\nHarika Özer is a child whose Kurdish family sought refuge from Siirt to Manisa at the end of 1980s. 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.

SUMMARY:Pink Excavation
DESCRIPTION:Pink Excavation is Natasha Lall’s first feature length film.

SUMMARY:A Moment In The Reeds
DESCRIPTION:Leevi returns to his native Finland for the summer to help his estranged father renovate the family lake house. Tareq\, a recent asylum seeker from Syria\, has been hired to help with the work. When Leevi’s father has to return to town on business\, the two young men establish a connection and spend a few days discovering one another during the Finnish midsummer. A response to the dearth of queer narratives in Finnish cinema\, A Moment in the Reeds is among the first queer feature films made in the country.

SUMMARY:The Wizard of Oz (an asexual reading)
DESCRIPTION:1939 Hollywood fantasy movie\, The Wizard of Oz\, is known for its strong association with gay male culture\, thought to be the origin for homosexual men using the code ‘Friend of Dorothy’ to identify themselves to each other from the 1950s onwards. However\, other readings are possible. Academic writer Alexander Doty saw Dorothy as a lesbian\, torn between her attraction to the femme Glinda and butch Wicked Witch of the West. Meanwhile\, internet user ‘Spoofmaster’ posted a reading of the film online which regards Dorothy as asexual because she chooses gay non-human companions – that’s the Scarecrow\, Tinman\, and Cowardly Lion – whilst in Oz. We invite viewers to focus on the latter idea and think about asexuality and its hiddenness (or not!) in popular culture.  \nIntroduced with the reading of extracts from Spoofmaster’s post in The Asexual Visibilty & Education Network’s online forum\, titled ‘The Wizard of Oz: an asexual reading.’ \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/873598311′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nFilm in the English language with English language subtitles/captions.

During this claustrophobic open-air journey\, they touch on intimate subjects\, from making best use of three centimetres to Joanna’s recent breakup. However\, Suzie’s breakup advice leads to an unexpected confession. \nRUN(A)WAY ARAB (12m)\nDir. Amrou Al-Khadi\, Year: 2017\nNazeem is a 26 year old Middle Eastern drag queen who names herself QUEEN ZA DREAM – she is preparing for a show with the utmost gravity\, with an outfit evocative of an Egyptian deity.
 Interwoven with this is the story of Nazeem as a genderqueer 8 year-old boy\, and the close bond he has with his Iraqi-Egyptian mother\, Halima. Whilst flamboyant and in many ways a drag queen herself on the surface\, Halima is governed by the strict expectations of gender in Arab society. \nCinema Fouad (41m)\nDir. Mohamed Soueid\, Year: 1994\nKhaled\, a Syrian transgender migrant dreams of undergoing gender transition surgery. While trying to make a living from various menial jobs\, she falls in love with a Palestinian freedom fighter and joins his resistance. Gently\, compassionately\, Cinema Fouad draws a portrait of Khaled and introduces the viewer to one of Beirut’s rarely seen netherworlds.

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.

SUMMARY:SQIFF Shorts: Floofy Friends
DESCRIPTION:Indulging our obsession with cutesy animals\, we present a gay goldfish\, genderqueer spotted hyena\, an affair between a dorky fox and a hunky wolf\, and a somewhat unfortunate cat. This selection of shorts reflects on the non-human as allegories for our own queer lives\, mediators of family discord\, and source of philosophical contemplation of race\, gender\, and the human condition. Please note that although we have used the word ‘floofy’ in the title\, the programme contains violence enacted both by and on the animal protagonists.
