SUMMARY:Framing Agnes + Conversation at DCA\, Dundee
DESCRIPTION:Agnes\, the pioneering\, pseudonymized\, transgender woman who participated in Harold Garfinkel’s gender health research at UCLA in the 1960s\, has long stood as a figurehead of trans history.  \nIn this rigorous cinematic exercise that blends fiction and nonfiction\, director Chase Joynt explores where and how her platform has become a pigeonhole. Framing Agnes endeavors to widen the frame through which trans history is viewed — one that has remained too narrow to capture the multiplicity of experiences eclipsed by Agnes’.  \nThrough a collaborative practice of reimagination\, an impressive lineup of trans stars take on vividly rendered\, impeccably vintage reenactments\, bringing to life groundbreaking artifacts of trans healthcare.  \nJoynt’s signature form-rupturing style radically reenvisions the imposition of the frame on the cultural memory of transness through his brilliantly crafted\, communally-driven excavation. This reclamation tears away with remarkable precision the myth of isolation as the mode of existence of transgender history-makers\, breathing new life into a lineage of collaborators and conspirators who have been forgotten for far too long. \nFollowing the screening of Framing Agnes\, stay tuned for a conversation with local trans and non-binary people on inter-generational trans experiences and creating space for the community. \nCurated by Indigo Korres. \nTickets are on a pay what you can sliding scale of FREE\, £2\, £4\, £6\, £8\, or £10.

SUMMARY:Sanctuary shorts in association with SQIFF + Q+A
DESCRIPTION:This community-curated programme* explores the acceptance of identity\, self\, and of the world around us\, while highlighting the universal experience of being queer–with a special focus on being lesbian. The films’ instinctive narratives show the lows of being ‘othered’\, and the highs of finding a safe space within that\, no matter what age\, country\, or time period. Join us for powerfully diverse stories\, told with heart\, honesty\, and a perfect amount of humour. You’ll leave the event with a new community of queer film-lovers: your very own sanctuary. \n*Back in July\, Sanctuary collaborated with SQIFF producer and co-founder Helen Wright to offer 2 online workshops for LGBTQIA+ people\, aged 18+\, to learn about film programming. Participants worked together to watch a selection of queer short films and make decisions about a final shorts programme. Thanks to Ewan McPherson\, Kate Hammer\, Liam Rees\, JD Stewart\, Merik Tiz\, Ben Cave\, Beth Cooper\, Jonathan McLean\, Vee Smith and Sand Owsnett. \nThis is a free event. Book tickets using the button below. \n[bra_button text=’Buy Tickets’ url=’https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/sanctuary-shorts-in-association-with-sqiff-qa-tickets-167955993899′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nWe’ll be using Zoom Webinar for this screening event and Q&A.

SUMMARY:Watch Party: The Cancer Journals Revisited
DESCRIPTION:The Cancer Journals Revisited is prompted by the question of what it means to re-visit and re-vision Black lesbian feminist poet Audre Lorde’s classic 1980 memoir of her breast cancer experience today. At the invitation of filmmaker Lana Lin\, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010\, twenty-seven writers\, artists\, activists\, health care advocates\, and current and former patients recite Lorde’s manifesto aloud on camera\, collectively dramatising it and producing an oration for the screen. The film is both a critical commentary and a poetic reflection upon the precarious conditions of survival within the intimate and politicised public sphere of illness. \nFollowed by a Q&A with director Lana Lin hosted by Anahit Behrooz. Anahit is an arts journalist based in Edinburgh\, currently working as events editor at The Skinny and commissioning editor at Bella Caledonia\, with bylines in The List\, Girls on Tops\, and Club des Femmes among others.

Made as a collaboration under the name E.T. (Ela Troyano) Baby (Jane Castle) Maniac (Cheang). \n“In Sex Fish water provides the common denominator for nature imagery and explicit sex. Unlike 1970s feminist imagery\, however\, nature is sexualized rather than sex naturalized. Dripping from the faucet\, spraying against a shower curtain\, swirling down a toilet\, water leads viewers from one sex scene to another\, private to public and back again. Swimming through the video are various fish\, seemingly unaware of the derogatory pun they enact\, and all gulping enviously as cunnilingus surrounds them.” \n—Chris Straayer\, Deviant Eyes\, Deviant Bodies: Sexual Re-orientations in Film and Video (New York: Columbia University Press\, 1996) \nSex Bowl (8m)\nDir: Shu Lea Cheang\, Country: USA\, Year: 1994\, Language/s: English\nAll forms of human sport become sites for sexual play and celebratory eroticism. \n“The tape’s images are quick\, suggestive\, and sexy: fingers moving into bowling balls\, shoe-smelling and toe-sucking\, a dog wearing chain jewelry\, fish being wrapped at the market\, young naked couples having sex…. Edited like a music video\, the image track is a constant flow of fetishes that lure us into the promiscuous pace of girls who keep lists of their sexual encounters.” \n—Chris Straayer\, Deviant Eyes\, Deviant Bodies: Sexual Re-orientations in Film and Video (New York: Columbia University Press\, 1996) \nFingers and Kisses (5m)\nDir: Shu Lea Cheang\, Country: Japan\, Year: 1995\, Language/s: Japanese\, English\nCheang has taken her camera to the streets for a candid glimpse of lesbian public sexuality. If Asian women and lesbians share a certain amount of invisibility in the culture\, Fingers and Kisses offers not only a bold representation of both\, but a challenge to the question “What do lesbians do?” Tokyo’s own out-and-loud music by Chu punctuates the narrative as what begins in the streets continues under the sheets. \nComing Home (5m)\nDir: Shu Lea Cheang\, Country: USA\, Year: 1995\, Language/s: Japanese\, English\nThis humorous video begins with two women—one white\, the other Asian—attempting to fit into a Japanese bathtub. The awkward fitting of bodies into a small space is just one of the allegorical scenarios dramatized in a pressing appeal for lesbian rights. In a game of hanafuda (flower cards)\, the terms of lesbian domesticity are cleverly played out according to such legalities as joint property\, social security\, and pensions.

DESCRIPTION:Despite a rich queer history and long fight to guarantee the rights of queer people under the first democratic government of Nelson Mandela\, queer and trans South Africans face many challenges\, which intersect with class and cultural identities.

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.

SUMMARY:Sqifflix: TRANSFINITE + shorts

SUMMARY:Sqifflix: More Love from Neelu
DESCRIPTION:Click here to access the full programme. \nOur special shorts programme More Love from Neelu showcases films by award-winning artist and filmmaker Neelu Bhuman\, whose feature film TRANSFINITE we are screening online 25 – 28 June. Neelu’s work explores social and political themes as they play out in close relations. Playfully evoking insights into the workings of difference in intimacy\, their films blend viewpoints ranging from race\, gender\, sexuality\, culture\, class\, and romance. \nIn FU377\, the dignity of queer people in India is under attack through Section 377\, which the Supreme Court had recently re-introduced\, re-criminalising ‘gay sex\,’ when the film was made in 2014. Meanwhile\, an adorable Indian mother is totally down with gay sex and wheels out some choice lines for her heartbroken queer daughter in an effort to cheer her up. \nMore Love. Less Prepackaged Bullshit. (2017) is set to the soul beat of Assata Shakur\, and features a trio resisting dystopia with a bowl of joy\, intimacy\, and love. \nNeelu’s 2016 short ṣadāqa is a kaleidoscopic view of friendship transcending borders. \nAll films have English language subtitles or captions. See notes for below for each film’s language/s\, level of accessibility for blind and partially sighted people\, age recommendation\, content notes\, and if the film contains flashing lights or sound levels that might be disturbing for some. These notes are also found on each film’s page on vimeo. \nThe films are all free to watch with thanks to Neelu Bhuman.

The scorching IPC Section 377 is re-unleashed to police to criminalise “gay sex” in India.
