SUMMARY:Rafiki
DESCRIPTION:“Good Kenyan girls become good Kenyan wives\,” but Kena and Ziki long for something more. Despite the political rivalry between their families\, the girls resist and remain close friends\, supporting each other to pursue their dreams in a conservative society. When love blossoms between them\, the two girls will be forced to choose between happiness and safety. Rafiki made international news after being banned by the Kenya Film Classification Board for its homosexual theme and promotion of lesbianism.

SUMMARY:Pink Excavation
DESCRIPTION:Pink Excavation is Natasha Lall’s first feature length film. With Lall as the narrator and cameos from local queers Mina Baird and Junie Latte\, this DIY film explores the preservation of queer histories in Glasgow\, 2518.

Upon interactions with an archaeologist and a ghost Lall discusses whether or not the poor archiving of LGBT culture has a positive impact on the queer community. 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.

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

SUMMARY:SQIFF Schools: Out (CCA)
DESCRIPTION:So much of young people’s experience of sexual and gender identity in the present day comes via the internet. However\, the old pain and awkwardness of ‘coming out’ to friends and family remains the same. This new documentary from French director Denis Parrot combines the phenomenon of online queer culture with the intimacy of young people’s revelations about themselves. Out presents a collection of compelling videos posted online by young LGBTQ+ people\, showing us their experience of telling loved ones about their identity. \nFollowed by a discussion hosted by LGBT Youth Scotland about the experiences of LGBTQ+ young people communicating their identity to family and friends and finding acceptance. The event is kindly sponsored by LGBT Youth Scotland. \nThis event is free and only open to schools. The film and discussion are suitable for S1-6. Please email helen@sqiff.org to book spaces. \n  \nACCESS \nFilm mostly in the English language with English language subtitles/captions. Hearing loop available. \nFilm relies on visual material to convey ideas but has a lot of voiceover and commentary\, so is relatively accessible for blind and partially sighted audiences. Large print versions of handouts available. \nCCA has good access for wheelchair users. Click here for more details on venue access.

SUMMARY:The Owls at GFAF
DESCRIPTION:Two OWL (older\, wiser lesbian) couples accidentally kill a younger woman and hide the body but their dark secret comes back to haunt them in Cheryl Dunye’s experimental\, collaborative movie\, The Owls. Featuring Dunye’s trademark\, self-reflexive style where both characters and actors create video diaries adjacent to the main narrative\, The Owls also attempted collective filmmaking with cast and crew encouraged to pitch in ideas.\n \nThose involved form a roll call of lesbian film excellence with Guinevere Turner\, Lisa Gornick\, V.S. Brodie\, and Dunye playing the ageing\, bitter queers\, and Sarah Schulman\, Alex Juhasz\, and Campbell X amongst others working behind the scenes. Dunye’s fourth feature film as director is an under-appreciated examination of lesbian culture and aesthetics with a good dose of crime movie genre fun thrown in. \n \nThe film will be introduced by SQIFF’s Helen Wright. Screening as part of Glasgow Feminist Arts Festival\, taking place 15 to 18 November.\n \nTickets are priced on a sliding scale £0-£8 depending on what you can afford. To book\, please use the button below. \n[bra_button text=’Buy Tickets’ url=’https://ccaglasgow.ticketsolve.com/shows/873598169′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’]\n \n  \nACCESS \nFilm in the English language with English language subtitles/captions for access.

SUMMARY:What (the Fuck) is Lesbian Cinema? + The Book of Gabrielle (Glasgow)
DESCRIPTION:The Book of Gabrielle is a clever dramedy about an intimate yet platonic relationship that develops between a female graphic artist and an older male erotic novelist. Saul delights in Gabrielle’s description of her past affairs and ongoing relationship with her younger girlfriend\, Olivia (Anna Koval)\, just as Gabrielle likes to explore masculinity through Saul. Does he help Gabrielle find her artistic voice or is Saul finding his? Does she need to break from his patriarchy in order to find herself? \nTo coincide with the launch of the film\, director and star Lisa Gornick presents an accompanying live drawing show What (the Fuck) is Lesbian Cinema? Using pen\, paper\, and watercolour\, Gornick explores where the desires of lesbian film are at right now alongside the politics\, money\, and passions aroused around it. Lisa will also take part in a Q&A after the film screening. \nAlso taking place at Edinburgh Filmhouse on Sunday 29th October 2.30pm. \nACCESS: The Lighthouse has level access at the entrance with a lift available to the screening space.
