SUMMARY:SQIFF Opener: The Misandrists

SUMMARY:Free Pride Fundraiser: The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson

SUMMARY:SQIFF Shorts: Regen(d)eration
DESCRIPTION:SQIFF and Hidden Door collaborate to bring you a lovingly curated programme of shorts exploring queer notions of rebirth to consider how we (re)construct\, navigate and negotiate our queer identities. From captivating\, tender animations to the provocative\, exciting\, experimental\, this selection of short films showcases some SQIFF favourites made by queer people about queer people! \nACCESS: All films will be screened with subtitles to make them more accessible for D/deaf and hard of hearing audiences. Unfortunately\, we have been informed that due to the derelict and temporary nature of Hidden Door’s venue\, the cinema space will not be wheelchair accessible and we are really sorry about this. Please contact festival@hiddendoorblog.org for further information about the venue’s accessibility. \nTickets are £16 (concessions £14)\, which includes admission to all Hidden Door events on 2nd June. We have a limited amount of free tickets for those who are unemployed and for asylum seekers as well as some half price tickets (£8) for those on a low income.
