SUMMARY:Adam’s Apple
DESCRIPTION:Listen to this Event Page\n  \nAdam’s Apple is an intimate\, collaborative documentary told through the dual perspectives of Adam\, a transgender teen\, and his mother\, visual artist Amy Jenkins\, that offers an authentic and tender counterpoint to the hostility facing trans youth today. Adam’s journey balances the milestones of gender transition with the rhythms of adolescence. As Adam asserts his identity and steps out into the world\, his parents grapple with the challenges of raising a teen while learning to let go. Through a visually poetic approach\, the film transforms a deeply personal archive\, collected over two decades\, into a powerful\, joyful testament to the beauty and difficulty of reckoning with profound change. \nAfter the screening\, Adam Sieswerda will join SQIFF Director Indigo Korres in conversation. \nPresented in partnership with Scottish Documentary Institute. \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.

SUMMARY:The Past Is Still Warm
DESCRIPTION:Listen to this Event Page\n  \nThe past does not stay where we leave it. It lingers in bodies\, landscapes\, old recordings\, unfinished love stories and places that may no longer welcome us back.  \nThese films return to what has been lost: a lover in Cairo\, lives cut short before memories could fully form\, a vanished queer community\, a homeland held at a distance\, and a love story surviving only in remnants of the archive. Across essay\, fiction and experimental moving image\, they ask what it means to search for someone\, somewhere or some version of ourselves that can no longer be reached.  \nBut memory is not only an act of mourning. Here\, it becomes ritual\, invention\, performance and transformation. Rivers awaken\, fish offer refuge\, landscapes hold forgotten presences\, and damaged archives become spaces where love can be imagined again.  \nThe Past Is Still Warm is a programme about queer memory and the ways it continues to live among us. It is about longing\, exile\, survival and the fragile traces through which the absent remain close.  \nFollowing the screening\, Matthew Arthur Williams\, director of Another Allegory\, will present a live sound performance. \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. 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! Please find the ‘What Should I Pay?’ guidance here. \n  \nAccessibility  \nThis event has: \n\nEnglish-BSL interpretation for the introduction and performance.

Discussion of death\, grief. \n  \nAlzou\, Dir. Ugo Woatzi\, 2025\, Belgium\, 19 min. \nThe queer community that once thrived in the Alzou Valley has disappeared.

As they move through the dense forest\, the environment seems to breathe with them\, and the land begins to reveal fragments of the community’s memory. Through a ritual act\, Alzou seeks to reconnect with the valley’s living forces\, attempting to rekindle the bond between nature\, spirit\, and those who once inhabited this sacred place. \nAccess notes: Flashing lights. \n  \nTruth Or Fish\, Dir. Seoyeun Park\, 2025\, South Korea\, 9 min. \nAngela\, a young queer musician seeking success in homophobic Korea\, faces a dramatic anti-LGBTQ protest during her concert. Seeking advice from a clan of mysterious fish hiding in the valleys\, Angela learns to perform straight – but is she happy? \nContent notes: Depiction of homophobia\, religion. \n  \nThe Great Tit\, Dir.

Through a number of performances and camera moments including a burgeoning thunderstorm that desires to break –  the film is akin to a muscle or root that has been damaged or even severed. \nAccess notes: Flashing imagery. \n  \nDonate: \nDonate to SQIFF via PayPal or sign up to one of our four Patreon tiers to support our work and show us you’re a big SQIFF fan 🌈✨ \n  \nSupported by Screen Scotland\, the BFI Audience Projects Fund and Film Hub Scotland (part of the BFI Film Audience Network)\, all awarding National Lottery funding. \n  \nImage Credit: Truth Or Fish\, Dir.

SUMMARY:Enchanted Ecologies
DESCRIPTION:Listen to this Event Page\n  \nEnchanted ecologies include performance-based and experimental moving image works by queer and trans visual artists from the Brazilian Amazon. Together\, these films approach nature as a living being and highlight the role of cities in ecological conversations.

In this collection\, we see the pervasiveness of non-human-oriented\, but humanly responsible\, practices in the collective imaginary of the Brazilian Amazon. \nThe programme invites us to reconsider what it means to relate to our local and global environments as a tactic to tackle environmental challenges and resist contemporary conservative and colonial forces. The screening includes a short introduction by the curators Danilo Baraúna and Xuanlin Tham\, and will be followed by a conversation with Fi Halliday\, a community gardener from the Govanhill LGBTQIA+ Gardening Group. \nCurated by Danilo Baraúna and Xuanlin Tham.

SUMMARY:Yapping Out Loud: Contagious Thoughts from an Unrepentant Whore
DESCRIPTION:Listen to this Event Page\n  \nOn May 1\, 2002\, transsexual sex worker and performance artist Mirha-Soleil Ross delivered a powerful monologue confronting anti-prostitution rhetoric and campaigns\, exposing their often devastating effects on sex workers’ lives\, rights\, and working conditions. Combining sharp political commentary with striking performance documentation and hard-hitting animal rights footage\, the film moves between anger\, wit\, and resistance. Ross challenges the moral assumptions underpinning campaigns against sex work\, while drawing connections between different forms of oppression and control. Fierce\, provocative\, and uncompromising\, the work becomes a manifesto for bodily autonomy\, solidarity\, and freedom for all. \nAfter the screening\, Jaye Hudson of TGirlsonFilm will be in conversation with writer\, filmmaker and trans daughter of Ross\, Morgan M Page\, discussing Ross’s prolific oeuvre\, including her video work\, trans film festival\, and the iconic recently republished zine Gender Trash from Hell. \nCurated by Jaye Hudson and Morgan M Page.

SUMMARY:Closing Gala: Hunky Jesus
DESCRIPTION:Listen to this Event Page\n  \nJoin us for the closing event of the Scottish Queer International Film Festival as we celebrate another year of exceptional queer cinema. This year’s closing film is Hunky Jesus\, a documentary capturing the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence’s iconic take on Easter Sunday. The sisters celebrate Easter with a massive drag competition in which people compete to be the hunkiest Jesus. It documents how community and camp can be powerful tools for resistance and solidarity. Essentially it’s an extremely fun\, silly work of queer cinema. It’s a guaranteed mood booster. And\, a fantastic way to wrap up another great year of SQIFF.
  \nThe film will be followed by a panel discussion with House of Nunsense\, Glasgow’s own chapter of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.  \nThe winner of Best Scottish Short will be announced at the start of this event. Please join us in congratulating the winner and all our filmmakers on another year of SQIFF. \nCurated by Nat Lall. \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.
