SUMMARY:All The Feels!: Ultimate Queer Fanvid Playlist
DESCRIPTION:Fanvids are short films using music\, edited by fans in an expression of all the feels around their favourite fandoms. Even with today’s films and television bursting with more queer characters than ever\, we still fight for true recognition\, representation\, and stories that go beyond the sometimes disappointing and limiting storylines we are given. Every fanvid is a DIY work of art\, combining music and clever edits to celebrate favourite shows\, rework plots\, commiserate in collective sadness\, and whatever feels there are to be had! \nCurated by Tara Brown\, queer crip Black fat femme and Fringe! Queer film & arts fest and freelance film curator. \nClick here for Tara’s YouTube playlist. \nACCESS \nThis playlist has an age recommendation of N/C 12+. \nThe fanvids have English audio. Some have English language captions or a transcript. Transcript of the other vids coming soon. With apologies for the lack of captions on all videos thanks to YouTube removing the option for community captions. Click here to sign a petition for YouTube to reverse this decision. \nThe playlist is 34 minutes long. \nContent notes: Discussion of homophobia\, biphobia\, and racism; depiction of brief nudity\, sex\, violence\, and blood. \n\n\n\n\nThe videos in All the Feels!: Ultimate Queer Fanvid Playlist include some loud music and fast editing. \n\n\n\n\nWe have a limited access fund to assist people with no or limited internet access to attend the Festival. If you would like to take this up\, please contact info@sqiff.org. \nIf you have any questions about accessibility at SQIFF 2020\, please contact info@sqiff.org.

Her scholarly work currently explores the design techniques and aesthetic semiotics of late fashion designer\, Patrick Kelly.

Tell You A Story. (2019) and The Burden I Bear Is Heavy (2019)\, respectively. \nNaomi Gessesse is a movie watcher and Aries sun from Glasgow. They have written for several publications and wrote an undergraduate thesis on the politics of space at the lgbtqia+ film festival.

SUMMARY:Watch Party: Tongues Untied
DESCRIPTION:In his own words\, Marlon Riggs aimed to shatter the “nation’s brutalizing silence on matters of sexual and racial difference” with his 1989 film Tongues Untied. A challenging and captivating work\, many of Riggs’ key messages still resonate with the Black queer experience in the USA and Europe. \nScreening with Beyond ‘There’s always a black issue Dear’ by Claire Lawrie\, exploring and celebrating black LGBT identities to demarcate the huge influence that Black LGBT culture has had upon Fashion\, Fine art\, Dance\, Music and Language\, much of which has been appropriated by the cultural mainstream. \nCurated by Harvey Dimond\, who will introduce the event. Presented in partnership with Coalition for Racial Equality and Rights (CRER) for Black History Month. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets are on a sliding scale of FREE\, £2\, £4\, £6\, or £8.
