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.

SUMMARY:Many Black Moons Ago\, To Go...
DESCRIPTION:Time as it is Queer.  \nBlackness as it is Queer. \nWhat comes next after the end of the world?  \nA digital exhibition programme of Afrofuturist films and writings in response to the re/imagining of Black alternative future(s). Curated by Scottish-Zimbabwean artist\, researcher\, and curator Natasha Thembiso Ruwona. Sign up to receive a link to access the exhibition website during the festival dates\, 5th to 18th October.  \nShort films available as part of the exhibition across the 2 weeks include NEGRUM3 (2018) by Diego Paulino\, Reifying Desire 5 (2012) by Jacolby Satterwhite\, and Time Travel Experiments Pt. 2 (2017) by Black Quantum Futurism. Born in Flames (1983)\, depicting a future where a socialist government gains power and a group of women decides to organize and rebel\, will be available to view as part of the exhibition on our Vimeo on Demand channel 12th to 13th October.

Trained in semiotics\, she deploys research through praxis often in her artistic explorations of black diasporic symbolisms\, storytelling as performance\, and positioning the creative process as a performance/ritual. Her scholarly work currently explores the design techniques and aesthetic semiotics of late fashion designer\, Patrick Kelly. Her most recent artistic works include her artist responses to Senga Nengudi (Fruitmarket Gallery) and Nick Cave (Tramway) with performative works entitled Sew Me A Quilt. 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. Naomi now works for Berwick Film And Media Arts Festival while continuing to write. \nA reading group led by Martha Williams on Sunday 18 October will conclude the series. Click here to book a free ticket to the reading group event\, Call & Reponse. The event will have BSL interpretation\, live captioning\, and live audio description. The films in the exhibition all have English language captions.  \nBorn in Flames is preserved by Anthology Film Archives with restoration funding from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and The Film Foundation.
