SUMMARY:ATOPOS\, generi teatranti
DESCRIPTION:Atopos Compagnia Teatrale is an Italian theatre company bringing together professional and non-professional actors\, both trans- and cisgender. This documentary is about their experiences in the creation of Atopos’ flagship production\, Human Variables. The film describes reality through chronicling the making of a play\, a conventionally fictitious endeavour. Human Variables is a show that builds on the real life experiences of the actors appearing on stage\, ready to lay themselves bare at the same time as putting on a costume. A story of the eternal dialectic between actor and character\, truth and fiction\, life and theatre. \nDirector Alberto Amoretti and cinematographer Giovanni Hänninen of ATOPOS will be in attendance for a Q&A after the screening. If you require BSL interpretation for the Q&A\, contact info@sqiff.org to make arrangements. \nACCESS: Level access at entrance of CCA with Cinema space on ground floor. Accessible toilets available. Italian language with English subtitles. Hearing loop. \nTicket prices on a sliding scale according to your circumstances. Choose between FREE\, £2\, £4\, £6\, or £8 (prices include CCA booking fee) according to what you can afford.

SUMMARY:SQIFF Opener: The Misandrists
DESCRIPTION:Queer film legend Bruce LaBruce’s newest feature dives headlong into the world of the Female Liberation Army hiding out in the heart of Gerwomany. Led by Big Mother\, the FLA indoctrinates its young recruits to take up the struggle of freeing all female people through a mix of revolutionary porn-making\, songs about taking down the patriarchy\, and even a sneaky dancing nun. But does the FLA’s brand of radical feminism hide some darker and more exclusionary beliefs? \nWe are excited to be joined by director Bruce LaBruce and actor Caprice Crawford for a Q&A after the screening followed by a drinks reception. \nPresented in partnership with Goethe Institut Glasgow. \nACCESS: Level access at entrance of CCA with lift up to first floor for Theatre space. Accessible toilets available. English language with English captions. BSL interpretation for Q&A. Hearing loop.  \nContent note: depiction of violence and real surgical operations\, discussion of sexual assault. \nTicket prices on a sliding scale according to your circumstances.

SUMMARY:Who Will Fuck Daddy?
DESCRIPTION:A hypnotic\, intensely personal film featuring a mix of mysterious and mystical images: a masturbating moon\, a couple having sex in a tent filled with balloons and electric lights\, a pair of vibrators hidden in a head of lettuce. Beautifully episodic\, Who Will Fuck Daddy? switches from documentary sequences about parenthood\, gender\, ecstasy\, and rebirth\, to cruising sites in the Swedish forest\, to the question of just how much pressure to put on a pair of nipples. Lasse Långström’s latest work is as political as ever with an underlying theme of the death of heteronormativity and homonationalism and a wide variety of bodies on show. \nDirector Lasse Långström will join us after the screening for a Q&A. \nACCESS: Level access at entrance of Trongate 103 with lift down to second floor for Transmission basement space. Accessible toilet available. Swedish language with English subtitles.

SUMMARY:The Surface Tension Trilogy
DESCRIPTION:From activist and painter Frida Kahlo to filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl to Hitler’s lover Eva Braun – Liz Rosenfeld tells a trio of queer histories that may or may not have actually happened.

SUMMARY:When We Are Together We Can Be Everywhere
DESCRIPTION:When Marit Östberg finally had enough time to edit the footage she shot in 2011\, it was already four years old. And\, by then\, her idea of a mockumentary on how to (and how not to) make queer porn had quietly changed into something different: a nostalgic look at nostalgia and a way to rewrite her own history. Now\, she could look back at the idealism of the community she had lived and worked in\, but from the perspective of knowing how things had turned out. The result became something beautiful and thoughtful and funny and sad – and still very\, very hot. A film for sex-positive dreamers everywhere. \nWe’re pleased star Liz Rosenfeld will join us for a Q&A after the screening. Presented in partnership with Goethe Institut Glasgow. \nACCESS: Level access with Cinema plus accessible toilets all on ground floor (CCA). Film mostly in English language screening with subtitles for D/deaf and hard of hearing access. Some German language segments throughout. Hearing loop available. BSL interpretation for Q&A. \n£5 / £4 conc / Free for unemployed and asylum seekers. Festival pass £40 / £30 conc.

Tender\, funny\, and thought-provoking\, Gender Troubles: The Butches explores these questions through a series of interviews and testimonials with butch-identifying women\, looking at the strange dichotomy of being both hypervisible in everyday life and invisible when it comes to media representation.

SUMMARY:Tchindas
DESCRIPTION:Tchinda is one of the most beloved women on Cape Verde\, especially after coming out as trans in a local newspaper in 1998.

SUMMARY:Henry Gamble's Birthday Party
DESCRIPTION:Henry Gamble\, the mild-mannered son of a small-town pastor\, is turning seventeen. Friends\, family\, and select members of his father’s congregation have gathered at his home for some wholesome pool party fun.

A perceptive and passionate account of a young queer person growing up within the sometimes stifling confines of a devoutly religious household\, director Stephen Cone’s beautifully realised film is a quietly gripping exercise in simmering tension and burgeoning emotions. \nContent note: mention of suicide and scene of self-harm. \nACCESS: Level access with Cinema plus accessible toilets all on ground floor (CCA). Film screening with subtitles for D/deaf and hard of hearing access. Hearing loop available. Film in English language.\n \n£5 / £4 conc / Free for unemployed and asylum seekers.
