SUMMARY:Are you into emotional edging?
DESCRIPTION:Listen to this Event Page\n  \nJoin us for a journey of conscious and unconscious thoughts. This screening features distinct experimental shorts made by trans and non-binary people that focuses on the varied ways our community tell stories of forming and navigating relationships\, both digitally and in real life.  \nThe films in this programme utilise archival footage\, found footage\, digital glitch\, chemical abstraction\, digital animation\, layered imagery\, and direct animation to explore the telling of our stories. \nMilo Clenshaw will be hosting a panel discussion after the screening with special guests Hogan Seidel\, director of The Backside of God\, and Jamie Crewe\, director of A Luxury. \nCurated by Indigo Korres.\n \nTickets are on a pay what you can sliding scale of FREE\, £2\, £4\, £6\, £8\, or £10.

Jamie Crewe): A film commssioned by Edinburgh International Book Festival\, 2021\, in response to Shola Von Reinhold’s novel LOTE (2020). Made in homage to Curtis Harrington’s film The Wormwood Star (1956)\, a portrait of the artist Cameron\, the film finds Shola in the attic of Preston Hall\, Midlothian\, undergoing a transportation. A section of LOTE is read over churning abstract liquids\, and finally an escape. \nA Trans with a Movie Camera (2018\, Dir. Frances Damian Arpaia): A non-narrative cine-essay that collaboratively explores the potentials for trans-feminine representation in film. \nThe Backside of God (2020\, Dir. Hogan Seidel): The Backside of God is an experimental documentary utilizing archival footage\, digital glitch\, chemical abstraction\, and direct animation to explore the intricacies of the artist’s relationship with their familial\, religious\, and queer identity. \nBigger on the Inside (2022\, Dir. Angelo Madsen Minax): From an isolated wooded cabin a trans man star gazes\, scruff chats with guys\, watches youtube tutorials\, takes drugs\, and lies about taking drugs – feeling his way through a cosmology of embodiment. Relative to the immensity of longing\, the bodily insides become both portal and lens through which to probe the porousness between interior and exterior\, the micro and macro. Nudes and landscapes are equally erotic\, as Eros is an issue of boundaries: When i desire you\, a part of me is gone. \n  \nACCESSIBLITY  \nContent Warnings: \n\nDiscussion of transphobia\, misogyny\, religious views\, homophobia\, emotional edging\, mental health\, sex;\nDepiction of masturbation\, sex.\n\n\nAccess Notes: \n\nGlitchy imagery\n\nThis screening has an age recommendation of N/C 16+. \n61 minutes long with a Q&A after the screening. \nEnglish\, Latin\, Portuguese\, and Vietnamese audio and screens with English language captions. BSL-English interpretation and live captioning provided. \nAudio description available for the film.

SUMMARY:Queer East Presents: Alien Body\, Human Dreams - SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:Listen to this Event Page\n**Please note this event is now sold out – we may be able to release more tickets nearer the screening. CCA Box Office are operating a waiting list for sold out events – please contact them directly to be added to this!** \nA series of cinematic investigations that centre the body as a potent site of hybridity\, rejecting false divisions of man/woman\, human/animal/alien\, self/other to construct their own embodied\, multifaceted ways of being. Artists in this programme purposefully employ queering as a technique to misread\, re-appropriate\, and puncture the systems of power projected onto the body. \nIn these works by queer Southeast and East Asian filmmakers\, we meet a speculative reality where human body parts are sold in food trucks and witness a dance-fight between a lion dancer and a contemporary dancer. Bodyhacking\, ritualising\, and ceremonialising is used to knead cosmologies\, folding knowledges in upon themselves. \nCurated by April Lin 林森 \nTickets are on a pay what you can sliding scale of FREE\, £2\, £4\, £6\, £8\, or £10. To book\, click here or call the CCA Box Office on 0141 352 4900. \n  \nto boyhood\, i never knew him (2022\, dir. Trâm Anh Nguyễn): Words from a transgender man float to the surface as fleeting memories go on. \nLonging for the Sun to Set Upwards (2022\, dir. Jao San Pedro): An ode to the multiplicity\, mutability\, and expansion of what constitutes a body and a self\, through imaging and technological mediations. \nbeast (2022\, dir. Aileen Ye): A martial arts inspired dance-fight between a lion dancer and queer performer reflects the tension between traditional and modern identities. \nDisease of Manifestation (2011\, dir. Tzu-An Wu) The work builds itself towards the anarchistic conditions of the inner scenes\, can also be seem as a wrong-manifesto. \nYummy Body Truck (2021\, dir. Noam Youngrak Son) A fictional food truck selling human body parts mixed with other organisms in a biotechno-queer fantasy of interspecies mixing. \nBXBY (2022\, dir. Soojin Chang) In this self-recorded performance blending documentary and ritual practice\, a hybrid creature attempts reproduction. \nGarden Amidst the Flame (2022\, dir. Natasha Tontey) A playful and imaginative fantasy that challenges the hypermasculine presentation of Minahasan ritual culture and everyday life. \n  \nACCESSIBLITY  \nThis screening contains strobing lights\, distorted imagery\, distorted voice. \nContent Warnings: \n\nDiscussions of cannibalism\, direct reference to terminated pregnancy\nDepiction of animated detached human parts\, fake body parts being eaten\, animal parts\, recording of the inside a human bodysex\, self-harm\, distressing scenes\, contains graphic reproductive content\, imagery of the culling and dissection of a deer.\n\nBXBY Content Warning (please note this may contain spoilers) \nBXBY contains explicit content\, including a close-up of a person using a speculum on themself and inserting a tube into their vagina (in a later scene they inject fluid into their vagina) and the graphic disembowelment and dismembering of a recently killed deer\, which is revealed to be pregnant. \nThis screening is recommended for ages 16+ \n93 minutes long \nChinese\, English\, French\, Indonesian audio with English captions. BSL-English interpretation and live captioning provided. \nWe have an Audience Access Fund for travel.
