SUMMARY:This Feeling Won't Leave
DESCRIPTION:Listen to this Event Page\n  \nWhat happens when a feeling takes hold of the body and refuses to loosen its grip?  \nMoving between love\, memory\, erotic experimentation\, body horror and public scrutiny\, these films explore the ways queer people are desired\, judged\, transformed and misunderstood. A body changes beyond recognition. A lover becomes inseparable from a place. A private experience is turned into a public argument.  \nAcross the programme\, bodies become places where these feelings gather and leave their mark. Some characters surrender to what they feel\, while others fight to remain themselves against the expectations placed upon them. Together\, the films ask what remains after an encounter\, a transformation or a moment of exposure\, and what it means when that feeling simply refuses to fade.  \nThe screening will also feature a live poetry reading by Glasgow-based poet and performer Gray Crosbie\, whose work explores queerness\, intimacy and the body. \nCurated by Huss.  \n  \nClick here to book your ticket for this event. \nTickets are on a pay what you can sliding scale of FREE\, £4\, £8\, £12\, £16\, or £20\, in order to make SQIFF more accessible to those on a low income.
