An experimental film dealing with lust. \nHigh Heels Aren’t Compulsory \nDir.

SUMMARY:SQIFF Shorts: Cruising Utopia
DESCRIPTION:Featuring work from the likes of Abigail Child and Kenneth Anger\, this provocative programme of experimental shorts explores queerness by way of slippery\, internal rhythms\, wild embodiment\, black leather\, and deep dreaming. \nJoin us as we leap into a world of new spaces\, future possibilities\, and queer critiques of liberal capitalism. \nScreening with English subtitles. \n£5/£4 Conc/Free unemployed and asylum seekers. To book tickets please use the button below or call CCA box office on +44 (0)141 352 4900. \n[bra_button text=’Buy Tickets’ url=’http://cca-glasgow.com/programme/55d34878c9cbcdb40c000001′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nFull Programme \nO Happy Day (5m) \nDir. Charles Lofton\, Country: USA\, Year: 1996 \nO Happy Day imagines the early days of gay liberation for black gay men. Lofton juxtaposes images of black men from late 60s and early 70s films with images of Black Panther Party demonstrations as a way of intentionally revising history. The soundtrack is punctuated by a 1970 quotation from Black Panther leader Huey Newton: 

”There’s nothing to say that a homosexual cannot also be a revolutionary. Quite on the contrary\, maybe a homosexual could be the most revolutionary… \nMercy (10m) \nDir. Abigail Child\, Country: USA\, Year: 1989 \nAbigail Child composes a rhythmic collage of found footage\, drawing heavily on images of women within popular culture that foreground the treatment of the body as a mechanised instrument. She toes an exquisite line between symmetry and asymmetry\, both loose and taught – articulating a movement into\, through\, and potentially out of the maelstrom of the modern capitalist machine. \nScorpio Rising (30m) \nDir. Kenneth Anger\, Country: USA\, Year: 1964 \nA fetishistic opera of sex and death from a high priest of queer experimental cinema. Anger’s parodic yet empathetic recasting of popular consumer culture sees rival biker gangs evoke the bygone spirit of the mythic American cowboy. \nPlutonium Blonde (15m) \nDir. Sandra Lahire\, Country: UK\, Year: 1987 \nA beautiful\, evocative\, and quietly psychedelic work from feminist filmmaker Sandra Lahire. Part of a trilogy of mixed-genre films dealing with the potential dangers of nuclear power\, Plutonium Blonde is an intensely personal film that manipulates the materiality of 16mm film – its colour\, grain\, and techniques of superimposition – to equate the machinery of a plutonium reactor to the human body\, and question the political and economic construction of female identity. \nChumlum (23m) \nDir. Ron Rice\, Country: USA\, Year: 1964 \nA woozy and mercurial reverie through a baroque dreamscape of kaleidoscopic superimpositions. A cast of ethereal characters\, unmoored from Jack Smith’s Normal Love\, weave in and out of one another’s spaces\, minds\, and bodies. One of the queer underground’s most influential films. \n
