SUMMARY:SQIFF Shorts: Some Like it Rough
DESCRIPTION:We delve into the varied practices of BDSM and societal attitudes towards this age-old erotic preference\, which continues to be subject to stigmatisation and censorship. In Lasting Marks\, one of sixteen gay men put on trial for taking part in consensual sadomasochism in late 80s England narrates his experience. Berlin-based conscious BDSM practitioner\, Caritia\, explains her spiritual journey through eroticism and life in Rituals + Worship. In French dramedy\, Dressed for Pleasure\, a young disabled woman seeks a more exhilarating sexual satisfaction. Mockumentary No Democracy Here sees a lefty dominatrix employed by right-wing Israeli men to force them into recanting their politics. The programme concludes with super hot non-binary\, lesbian action with a punk boidyke given the rough-tender treatment in Driven. \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/873611616/events/129089648′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nThis screening has an age recommendation of N/C 18+. \nFilms have English\, French\, Hebrew\, and German audio with English language subtitles/captions.

Director Charlie Lyne has created an experimental recreation of what happened offered by the men themselves. \nContent note: Discussion of sex including BDSM\, homophobia\, mental health issues\, and police persecution. \nRituals + Worship (13m)\nDir: Morgana Muses\, Country: Germany\, Year: 2015\, Language/s: English\nA short BDSM documentary that explores the workshop culture in Berlin and focuses on conscious BDSM practitioner\, Caritia. \nContent note: Depiction of BDSM. Discussion of racism. \nDressed for Pleasure (17m)\nDir: Marie de Maricourt\, Country: Switzerland\, Year: 2017\, Language/s: French\nSarah\, a young disabled woman\, lives with her parents. She is increasingly subject to many fantasies and sees her sexuality taking up more and more of her attention. The arrival in the house of a new cleaner\, Victoria\, a trans woman\, will upset the family balance. \nContent note: Depiction of nudity\, sex including reference to BDSM\, and transphobia. \nNo Democracy Here (25m)\nDir: Liad Hussein Kantorowicz\, Country: Germany\, Palestine\, Israel\, Year: 2017\, Language/s: Hebrew\nNo Democracy Here deals with the topic of political domination. Liad\, a lefty human rights defender dominatrix\, re-educates her Israeli right-wing-leaning obedient submissive slaves to follow upstanding leftist ethos and morals\, like freedom of movement\, economic justice\, direct democracy and human rights by using domination practices such as humiliation\, doggy-training\, coercion\, and administration of pain. \nContent note: Depiction of light BDSM and racism. \nDriven (13m)\nDir: Toni Karat\, Country: Germany\, Year: 2018\, Language/s: German\, English\nA punk boidyke\, handcuffed\, facing the wall in a sparse\, empty room\, breathes heavily with anxiety and expectation. And anxious she should be\, for the rough treatment she will face in the 13 minutes that follow! The film is a contribution to much-needed lesbian visibility – conveying a proud and unashamed image of dyke eroticism and BDSM – also at the age of 50+! \nContent note: Depiction of BDSM including consensual non-consent.

Eve McConnachie\, Year: 2019\nFrontiers questions traditional gendered roles in classical ballet by refusing to adhere to dated stereotypes: women powerfully command the space\, men intimately embrace each other. Frontiers contrasts the fluidity of the human form with the brutalist concrete motorways that cut through the heart of Glasgow. \nContent note: None. \nwe were always here (4m)\nDir. Michael Lee Richardson\, Garry Mac\, Year: 2019\nA queer reimagining of the working men’s club. A dance-powered journey through space and time. \nContent note: None. \nAcceptable Face (6m)\nDir: Holly Summerson\, Year: 2019\n“The sort of person who someone might say: ‘oh he’s gay\, but he’s lovely!’” Acceptable Face is an animated discussion about the ‘ideal’ respectable queer person. How would they look\, act\, and let people know that they’re not “that kind of gay”? Based on a series of interviews with LGBTQ+ people\, this experimental charcoal animation explores the pressure to be a ‘good example’\, and the joy of refusing to conform. \nContent note: Discussion of homophobia and transphobia. \nDix Pix (4m)\nDir. Steven Fraser\, Year: 2019\nDix Pix is a short animated documentary that looks at the gay male/trans/non-binary body and why it is common for people to send naked pictures via dating apps. The documentary takes an experimental approach in its visual style and tackles themes of masculinity\, queerness\, solitude\, and the body. \nContent note: Depiction of animated nudity and sex. \n2x+xy=1 (12m)\nDir. Wei Zhang\, Year: 2019\nWei Zhang’s practice is an experimental film created by multi post-production technologies\, including 3D animation. 2x+xy=1 is constructed by the abstract fluid matters and concrete polygons to display the feature of the non-binary and the binary\, the expression of emotion and the symbol of predicament. \nContent note: Depiction of nudity. \nNone of the Above (16m)\nDir. Siri Rødnes\, Year: 2018\nEmbarking upon a distinctly postmodern cyber experiment\, Cassie charts her dating odyssey on her personal vlog\, posting regular updates to her ever-growing number of followers. But when sensitive rendezvous footage goes viral\, she becomes a media pariah. \nContent note: Depiction of homophobia\, mental health issues\, and suicide (graphic). \nRoberta Cowell’s Story (1m)\nDir. Melissa J Clifford\, Year: 2019\nRoberta Cowell’s Story is a one minute short detailing the life and achievements of one of the most prolific British Trans Women of the 20th century. It originally debuted as one of five short films in DOCMA filmmaking challenge  #39 AMBITION. The short was created by Melissa Joan Clifford\, a trans woman\, and was made in the style of an archival film. \nContent note: Reference to transphobia. \nA Woman is Her Most Beautiful on Her Wedding Day / Someone I Hate (3m)\nDir. Nastia Nikolskaya\, Year: 2019\nTitled both A Woman is Her Most Beautiful on Her Wedding day and Someone I hate\, this film draws on the filmmaker/artist’s own upbringing in a more conservative and gender constrained environment. Employing ubiquitous wedding videography x perfume advertisement tropes\, the work is a humorous exploration of how the narratives we have absorbed dictate our daily lives\, driving our short-term and long-term decisions. \nContent note: None. \nGlue (4m)\nDir. Eleanor Capaldi\, Year: 2019\nWhen you’ve been dreaming of the past for so long\, what do you do when she’s finally there? Agnes meets her ex\, Anna\, for the first time since their break up and needs to decide whether to stay stuck in the past or move on to the new. \nContent note: None. \nPossessive Skin (2m)\nDir. Myles McEachan\, Year: 2019\n“To accept yourself against the face of adversity\, is the purest form of courage.” A self-reflective insight into the fundamentals of culture within the Trans masculine community\, and how in an age that prides itself on inclusion\, we still find segregation and discrimination within even the most marginalised of people\, which reflects us inwards. \nContent note: Description of mental health issues and transphobia. \nWhat Is Happiness? (6m)\nDir. Claire Clark\, Year: 2019\nWhat Is Happiness? is a British Sign Language poem shining a light on some of the elements of that impossible question and showcasing positive representation of BSL poetry as an art form. \nContent note: None. \nThe 16mb\, Future Sounds & A Mini City (15m)\nDir. Natasha Lall\, Year: 2018\nThe 16mb\, Future Sounds & A Mini City explores retrofuturism through the lens of a shy and naïve queer. 3 short sci-fi\, lo-fi films shot in Glasgow. \nContent note: None. \nCrypsis (9m)\nDir. Christopher McGill\, Year: 2019\nAfter fleeing for his life\, a gay refugee files for asylum in Scotland. Lacking evidence\, he decides to photograph himself in the dark techno world of a queer underground scene. Based on accounts of real-life African LGBT refugees and the challenges they face during the asylum process\, Crypsis is a raw depiction of a grim reality obscured by vitriolic public debate about refugees and the broken system that surrounds them. \nContent note: Discussion of homophobic violence; depiction of trauma.

SUMMARY:Kattumaram
DESCRIPTION:Kattumaram depicts the Tsunami-affected lives of middle-aged Singaram and his orphaned niece Anandhi and nephew Mani. Singaram works hard as a fisherman to provide for his family and tries to arrange a groom for his niece\, who rejects all proposed alliances. Anandhi instead falls for Kavita\, a visiting photographer teaching alongside her at the local school. As patriarchal Singaram comes to terms with his niece’s sexuality\, he is ostracised by his community because of her transgression. Dealing with his deflated ego\, he bonds with the village barber and trans woman\, Alankaram.

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.

The film is a lo-fi\, sci-fi contemplation on the pros and cons of queer visibility. \nScreening with short Reality Fragment (14 mins) by Qigemu\, which examines how multiple lived worlds\, each their own mix of memories\, sensations\, and thoughts\, coexist with de facto presentations of distance\, history\, and totality.  \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/873598301′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nFilms in the English language with English language subtitles/captions.
