SUMMARY:Queer Horror: Otto; or Up with Dead People
DESCRIPTION:Transgressive filmmaker Bruce LaBruce gave the zombie genre a distinctive update with Otto\, set in a not-too-distant future in which the undead have evolved the ability to speak and reason\, yet are still persecuted by the living. Sensitive Otto wanders the streets of Berlin before being recruited by eccentric filmmaker Medea Yarn for her zombie insurrection “magnum corpus” Up with Dead People. Whilst the eponymous hero struggles with unliving in the world\, LaBruce’s film develops into a savagely irreverent critique of consumer culture and a moving parable for being different. \nScreening with short Sauna the Dead: A Fairy Tale (21 mins). Introduced by Jordan Phillips\, queer horror maestro at Queen Margaret University. \nContent note: hardcore zombie sex and eating of flesh. \nACCESS: Level access with Cinema plus accessible toilets all on ground floor (CCA). Films screening with subtitles for D/deaf and hard of hearing access. Hearing loop available. BSL interpretation for introduction. Films in English language with long scenes with no dialogue.\n \n£5 / £4 conc / Free for unemployed and asylum seekers. Festival pass £40 / £30 conc. All prices include booking fee. \nTo book tickets\, 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/873559803/events?show_id=873559803′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’]

SUMMARY:SQIFF Schools: Pride
DESCRIPTION:Summer\, 1984 – Margaret Thatcher is in power and the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) is on strike. In London\, a group of gay and lesbian activists decides to raise money to support the families of the striking miners. The Union seems embarrassed to receive their support but the activists are not deterred and set off in a minibus to a mining village in Wales to make their donation in person. And so begins the extraordinary story of two seemingly alien communities who form a surprising and ultimately triumphant partnership. \nRobert Kincaid\, a member of Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners who was present at events in 1984\, will join us for a Q&A after the film. \nPresented in association with LGBT Youth Scotland. \nThe event is suitable for Secondary 4-6. The film contains some strong language and sexual references. We are screening the film with English subtitles for accessibility. If anyone attending requires BSL interpretation for the introduction\, please let us know when booking. \nThe event is free for all schools\, youth groups\, and colleges. To book a place\, email helen@sqiff.org with the name of your school or group\, the name of the teacher supervising the trip\, the number of pupils you would like to bring\, and whether there are any accessibility requirements for anyone attending.
