SUMMARY:Black History Month: Portrait of Jason
DESCRIPTION:Portrait of Jason shows sex worker and entertainer\, Jason Holliday\, recounting his life story for filmmaker Shirley Clarke. \nJason is the sole on-screen presence in the film. He narrates his life story to the camera\, behind which Clarke and her partner at the time\, actor Carl Lee\, provoke and berate Jason with increasing hostility as the film progresses. The film alleges to employ avant-garde and cinéma vérité techniques to reach the tragedy underlying Jason’s performative persona. However\, Portrait of Jason is one of if not the first documentation of black queer experiences and trauma exploited by white ‘gatekeepers’ for the sake of the artist’s cultural and financial capital gains. \nAlthough Portrait of Jason is a landmark film\, there is a need here to discuss the fuzzy problem of ‘visibility’ within the white/capitalist domination of visual culture. Are the lines between exposure and exploitation blurred in Portrait of Jason? \nCurated and hosted by Sequoia Barnes\, an art/design scholar and doctoral candidate at The School of Design with Edinburgh College of Art. Presented as part of Black History Month in partnership with Coalition for Racial Equality and Rights (CRER). \nFree. 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/873612019/events/129093020′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nThis screening has an age recommendation of N/C 15+. \nFilm has English audio with English language subtitles/captions.

SUMMARY:SQIFF Shorts: Gross Out
DESCRIPTION:With supposed tolerance and acceptance of LGBT people in western public life comes enforced sanitisation and respectability. Straight society pats itself on the back for allowing (some of) us to get married and feature in shiny corporate advertising but is still repelled by our bodies and sex lives. To counter the continued suppression of fleshly and carnal appetites and practices\, we went on a hunt for the grossest\, most yucky films we could find. Featuring experimental musing on why we find our bodies disgusting and scary; some gay sex-tinged body horror; literal shit in a variety of forms; and a performance involving an empty stomach and a large jar of honey. Please note this programme requires resilience for what some would consider stomach-churning and gruesome imagery. \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/873611604/events/129089634′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nThis screening has an age recommendation of N/C 18+. \nFilms have English and Spanish audio with English language subtitles/captions. Hearing loop available. \nFilms are not very accessible to English-speaking blind and partially sighted audiences with a lot of visual storytelling and ideas and dark images. Large print versions of handouts available. \nCCA has good access for wheelchair users\, gender neutral toilets\, and welcomes assistance animals.

You can choose what you pay based on your circumstances – you won’t be asked for any proof / ID\, we just ask that you are honest!

Välja\, Country: UK\, Year: 2019\, Language/s: No spoken sound\nÄmber is an experimental film about the basic functions of the human body.

Director Charlie Lyne has created an experimental recreation of what happened offered by the men themselves. \nContent note: Discussion of sex including BDSM\, homophobia\, mental health issues\, and police persecution. \nRituals + Worship (13m)\nDir: Morgana Muses\, Country: Germany\, Year: 2015\, Language/s: English\nA short BDSM documentary that explores the workshop culture in Berlin and focuses on conscious BDSM practitioner\, Caritia. \nContent note: Depiction of BDSM.

Liad\, a lefty human rights defender dominatrix\, re-educates her Israeli right-wing-leaning obedient submissive slaves to follow upstanding leftist ethos and morals\, like freedom of movement\, economic justice\, direct democracy and human rights by using domination practices such as humiliation\, doggy-training\, coercion\, and administration of pain. \nContent note: Depiction of light BDSM and racism. \nDriven (13m)\nDir: Toni Karat\, Country: Germany\, Year: 2018\, Language/s: German\, English\nA punk boidyke\, handcuffed\, facing the wall in a sparse\, empty room\, breathes heavily with anxiety and expectation. And anxious she should be\, for the rough treatment she will face in the 13 minutes that follow! The film is a contribution to much-needed lesbian visibility – conveying a proud and unashamed image of dyke eroticism and BDSM – also at the age of 50+! \nContent note: Depiction of BDSM including consensual non-consent.

SUMMARY:A Dog Barking at the Moon
DESCRIPTION:In director Zi Xiang’s exceptional feature debut – a Teddy Jury award-winner at the Berlin Film Festival – decades of open secrets and resentment create chaos within a Chinese family. When she brings her white western boyfriend for a visit to China\, pregnant Huang Xiaoyu gets caught up in her parent’s ongoing feud. Her father’s gay affairs and her worn-out mother’s seduction by a predatory cult bring matters to a crescendo as the narrative jumps cleverly between past and present. Zi Xiang expertly analyses repression which is woven into society and causes unhappiness to be passed down across generations. \nTickets are priced on a sliding scale £0-£8 depending on what you can afford. To book\, please use the button below or call GFT box office on +44 (0)141 332 6535. \n[bra_button text=’Buy Tickets’ url=’https://glasgowfilm.org/whats-on/all/booking?eventid=42403′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nThis screening has an age recommendation of N/C 15+. \nFilm has Chinese and English audio with English language subtitles/captions.

Eve McConnachie\, Year: 2019\nFrontiers questions traditional gendered roles in classical ballet by refusing to adhere to dated stereotypes: women powerfully command the space\, men intimately embrace each other. Frontiers contrasts the fluidity of the human form with the brutalist concrete motorways that cut through the heart of Glasgow. \nContent note: None. \nwe were always here (4m)\nDir. Michael Lee Richardson\, Garry Mac\, Year: 2019\nA queer reimagining of the working men’s club. A dance-powered journey through space and time. \nContent note: None. \nAcceptable Face (6m)\nDir: Holly Summerson\, Year: 2019\n“The sort of person who someone might say: ‘oh he’s gay\, but he’s lovely!’” Acceptable Face is an animated discussion about the ‘ideal’ respectable queer person. How would they look\, act\, and let people know that they’re not “that kind of gay”? Based on a series of interviews with LGBTQ+ people\, this experimental charcoal animation explores the pressure to be a ‘good example’\, and the joy of refusing to conform. \nContent note: Discussion of homophobia and transphobia. \nDix Pix (4m)\nDir. Steven Fraser\, Year: 2019\nDix Pix is a short animated documentary that looks at the gay male/trans/non-binary body and why it is common for people to send naked pictures via dating apps. The documentary takes an experimental approach in its visual style and tackles themes of masculinity\, queerness\, solitude\, and the body. \nContent note: Depiction of animated nudity and sex. \n2x+xy=1 (12m)\nDir. Wei Zhang\, Year: 2019\nWei Zhang’s practice is an experimental film created by multi post-production technologies\, including 3D animation. 2x+xy=1 is constructed by the abstract fluid matters and concrete polygons to display the feature of the non-binary and the binary\, the expression of emotion and the symbol of predicament. \nContent note: Depiction of nudity. \nNone of the Above (16m)\nDir. Siri Rødnes\, Year: 2018\nEmbarking upon a distinctly postmodern cyber experiment\, Cassie charts her dating odyssey on her personal vlog\, posting regular updates to her ever-growing number of followers. But when sensitive rendezvous footage goes viral\, she becomes a media pariah. \nContent note: Depiction of homophobia\, mental health issues\, and suicide (graphic). \nRoberta Cowell’s Story (1m)\nDir. Melissa J Clifford\, Year: 2019\nRoberta Cowell’s Story is a one minute short detailing the life and achievements of one of the most prolific British Trans Women of the 20th century. It originally debuted as one of five short films in DOCMA filmmaking challenge  #39 AMBITION. The short was created by Melissa Joan Clifford\, a trans woman\, and was made in the style of an archival film. \nContent note: Reference to transphobia. \nA Woman is Her Most Beautiful on Her Wedding Day / Someone I Hate (3m)\nDir. Nastia Nikolskaya\, Year: 2019\nTitled both A Woman is Her Most Beautiful on Her Wedding day and Someone I hate\, this film draws on the filmmaker/artist’s own upbringing in a more conservative and gender constrained environment. Employing ubiquitous wedding videography x perfume advertisement tropes\, the work is a humorous exploration of how the narratives we have absorbed dictate our daily lives\, driving our short-term and long-term decisions. \nContent note: None. \nGlue (4m)\nDir. Eleanor Capaldi\, Year: 2019\nWhen you’ve been dreaming of the past for so long\, what do you do when she’s finally there? Agnes meets her ex\, Anna\, for the first time since their break up and needs to decide whether to stay stuck in the past or move on to the new. \nContent note: None. \nPossessive Skin (2m)\nDir. Myles McEachan\, Year: 2019\n“To accept yourself against the face of adversity\, is the purest form of courage.” A self-reflective insight into the fundamentals of culture within the Trans masculine community\, and how in an age that prides itself on inclusion\, we still find segregation and discrimination within even the most marginalised of people\, which reflects us inwards. \nContent note: Description of mental health issues and transphobia. \nWhat Is Happiness? (6m)\nDir. Claire Clark\, Year: 2019\nWhat Is Happiness? is a British Sign Language poem shining a light on some of the elements of that impossible question and showcasing positive representation of BSL poetry as an art form. \nContent note: None. \nThe 16mb\, Future Sounds & A Mini City (15m)\nDir. Natasha Lall\, Year: 2018\nThe 16mb\, Future Sounds & A Mini City explores retrofuturism through the lens of a shy and naïve queer. 3 short sci-fi\, lo-fi films shot in Glasgow. \nContent note: None. \nCrypsis (9m)\nDir. Christopher McGill\, Year: 2019\nAfter fleeing for his life\, a gay refugee files for asylum in Scotland. Lacking evidence\, he decides to photograph himself in the dark techno world of a queer underground scene. Based on accounts of real-life African LGBT refugees and the challenges they face during the asylum process\, Crypsis is a raw depiction of a grim reality obscured by vitriolic public debate about refugees and the broken system that surrounds them. \nContent note: Discussion of homophobic violence; depiction of trauma.

SUMMARY:SQIFF Shorts: Queer Spaces
DESCRIPTION:How does queer visibility transform physical and symbolic space? What roles do specific spaces have in altering the way that we navigate and represent ourselves in public? Why are alternatives to heteronormative space important for our communities? In this collection of shorts\, we explore what ‘home’ and ‘public space’ means to the LGBTQIA+ communities of Paris; join a young trans man as he navigates gendered space on the Delhi metro; and follow the campaign to save one of London’s most iconic queer spaces\, the Joiner’s Arms. \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/873611627/events/129089661′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nThis screening has an age recommendation of N/C 12+. \nFilms have English\, French\, and Hindi audio with English subtitles/captions.

Ray Van Huizen and Ella Martin-Gachot\, Country: France\, Year: 2019\, Language/s: French\, English\nFilmed in Paris while Ray Van Huizen and Ella Martin-Gachot were studying abroad\, the documentary explores the relationship that people in the LGBTQIA+ communities of Paris have with the concepts of home and public space. \nContent note: Discussion of mental health issues including suicide\, violence\, transphobia\, biphobia\, and racism. \nTrojan Horse / Rainbow Flag (26m)\nDir: Ian Giles\, Country: UK\, Year: 2019\, Language/s: English\nWorking directly with members of Friends of the Joiners Arms\, Ian Giles’ newly-commissioned film Trojan Horse/Rainbow Flag examines the campaign to save this iconic LGBTQI+ space. The title is inspired by campaigner Amy Roberts\, when describing the cynical approach of property developers seeking to push through proposals to erase queer spaces by disingenuously claiming that their LGBTQI+ status would remain unchanged post-development. \nContent note: Discussion of abusive relationships\, violence\, queerphobia\, misogyny\, and classism. \nPlease Mind the Gap (20m)\nDir. Mitali Trivedi and Gagandeep Singh\, Country: India\, Year: 2018\, Language/s: Hindi\, English\nDelhi meets at the metro. The snaking lines of the tube connect the whole city. Passengers board from different places but for a brief moment in time they are all headed in the same direction. We share one such ride with our co-traveller Anshuman\, a trans man. As the stations pass by we begin to look at the metro space from his perspective. His is the story of reclaiming public space and one’s own self. The doors will open on the quest. Please mind the gap. \nContent note: Discussion of transphobia.

SUMMARY:Kattumaram
DESCRIPTION:Kattumaram depicts the Tsunami-affected lives of middle-aged Singaram and his orphaned niece Anandhi and nephew Mani. Singaram works hard as a fisherman to provide for his family and tries to arrange a groom for his niece\, who rejects all proposed alliances. Anandhi instead falls for Kavita\, a visiting photographer teaching alongside her at the local school. As patriarchal Singaram comes to terms with his niece’s sexuality\, he is ostracised by his community because of her transgression. Dealing with his deflated ego\, he bonds with the village barber and trans woman\, Alankaram.

SUMMARY:Portraits of Artists as Young Men (& Women & Other)
DESCRIPTION:SQIFF curates a screening as part of Glasgow School of Art’s Degree Show programme\, Dress Rehearsal.
