SUMMARY:GA(Y)MERS
DESCRIPTION:There is a freedom that comes with gaming; an ability to exist in another realm without necessarily leaving the real world. For some the realm of a game exists as an alternate reality and for others it synthesises with the physical world. For queer and trans gamers\, it can function as a space to trial and error other bodies. It can be a space to transition. And with that comes various highs and lows. From moments of ecstasy to steep learning curves to some uh…‘reality checks.’ \nGA(Y)MERS showcases a series of shorts on gender and gaming\, including Jamie Jankowic’s a woman on the internet. The screening will be followed by a Q&A on the films and the importance of virtual queer spaces. \nCurated by Nat Lall. This short film programme will also be available to rent online from SQIFF’s Vimeo on Demand channel 2 to 10 October. \nTickets are on a pay what you can sliding scale of FREE\, £2\, £4\, £6\, or £8. To book\, click the button below or call the CCA Box Office on 0141 352 4900. \n[bra_button text=’Buy Tickets’ url=’https://ccaglasgow.ticketsolve.com/shows/873627594′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nThis screening has an age recommendation of N/C 18+. \nEnglish audio with English language captions. BSL-English interpretation by Lisa Li and live captioning by Louisa McDaid provided for the intro and Q&A.  \nAudio description available.

SUMMARY:Sanctuary shorts in association with SQIFF + Q+A
DESCRIPTION:This community-curated programme* explores the acceptance of identity\, self\, and of the world around us\, while highlighting the universal experience of being queer–with a special focus on being lesbian. The films’ instinctive narratives show the lows of being ‘othered’\, and the highs of finding a safe space within that\, no matter what age\, country\, or time period. Join us for powerfully diverse stories\, told with heart\, honesty\, and a perfect amount of humour. You’ll leave the event with a new community of queer film-lovers: your very own sanctuary. \n*Back in July\, Sanctuary collaborated with SQIFF producer and co-founder Helen Wright to offer 2 online workshops for LGBTQIA+ people\, aged 18+\, to learn about film programming. Participants worked together to watch a selection of queer short films and make decisions about a final shorts programme. Thanks to Ewan McPherson\, Kate Hammer\, Liam Rees\, JD Stewart\, Merik Tiz\, Ben Cave\, Beth Cooper\, Jonathan McLean\, Vee Smith and Sand Owsnett. \nThis is a free event.

Their exchange is punctuated\, as in Radclyffe Hall’s text\, by the image of a panting\, dying fox. Though it demands compassion\, this fox is not real\, and its blood looks perhaps more like lipstick. The video is scored by a hyperventilating concertina. \nThese characters are portrayed by performance maker and ogre Sorcha Clelland\, and performance artist and music producer TAAHLIAH. In this version\, TAAHLIAH is standing\, and Sorcha is seated. \nPowder Snowdrop Catatonic (17m)\nDir: Sgàire Wood\, Country: Scotland\, Year: 2020\, Language/s: English and French languages \nProduced in one room over the course of a week in the heart of lockdown\, Sgàire Wood’s Powder Snowdrop Catatonic is an irreverent pantomime performance of mental deterioration under mandatory quarantine. Summoning a cast of capricious characters\, Wood runs a Kübler-Ross style gamut of emotions precipitated by self-isolation\, from misanthropic smugness to mind-bending ennui and cabin fever. Seen solely through the narrow lens of a smartphone camera\, she dances before the flimsy trompe l’oeil facade of a Victorian parlour\, existing in the space between coziness and claustrophobia\, flippancy and sincerity. The film’s celebratory intimacy pays tribute to queer\, radicalised or feminised practices which\, being underrepresented in traditional art spaces\, are relegated to the realm of domesticity and how under the circumstances in which the film was produced\, have found a new appreciation and importance. \nWhere the Red Fern Grows (11m)\nDir: Sorcha Clelland\, Country: UK\, Year: 2020\, Language/s: No spoken language \nSorcha Clelland’s Where the Red Fern Grows\, titled after Wilson Rawls’ 1961 children’s book about hunting dogs\, exists as a love letter to a rave and venue in Ibrox\, Glasgow. Filmed at The African Arts Centre in May 2020 during the venue’s demolition and Scotland’s lockdown from COVID-19. The novel begins with an aspiration to heal and a birth of kinship. Character growth is continued through belief in a magic. Performing as SHREK 666\, the embodiment of a demonic ogre shifting through monstrous transformation chained to catholicism\, he revisits a site and performance which was formerly a scene of Queer Intimacy. \n“The Ideal Bar” – “Le Narcisse” – “Alec’s” (2m)\nDir: Jamie Crewe\, Country: UK\, Year: 2020\, Language/s: No spoken language \n“The Ideal Bar” – “Le Narcisse” – “Alec’s” is a dramatised exchange between two characters in a Glasgow nightclub\, inspired by a sequence in Radclyffe Hall’s The Well of Loneliness in which Stephen Gordon encounters a repellent reflection of herself in a Parisian gay bar. Their exchange is punctuated\, as in Radclyffe Hall’s text\, by the image of a panting\, dying fox. Though it demands compassion\, this fox is not real\, and its blood looks perhaps more like lipstick. The video is scored by a hyperventilating concertina. \nThese characters are portrayed by performance maker and ogre Sorcha Clelland\, and performance artist and music producer TAAHLIAH. In this version\, Sorcha is standing\, and TAAHLIAH is seated.

If you would like to take this up\, please contact info@sqiff.org. \nIf you have any questions about accessibility at SQIFF 2020\, please contact info@sqiff.org. \n  \nPROGRAMME \nSex Fish (6m)\nDir: Shu Lea Cheang\, Country: USA\, Year: 1993\, Language/s: English\nAn erotic lesbian video involving swimming upstream\, female power\, and fish love. Made as a collaboration under the name E.T. (Ela Troyano) Baby (Jane Castle) Maniac (Cheang). \n“In Sex Fish water provides the common denominator for nature imagery and explicit sex. Unlike 1970s feminist imagery\, however\, nature is sexualized rather than sex naturalized. Dripping from the faucet\, spraying against a shower curtain\, swirling down a toilet\, water leads viewers from one sex scene to another\, private to public and back again. Swimming through the video are various fish\, seemingly unaware of the derogatory pun they enact\, and all gulping enviously as cunnilingus surrounds them.” \n—Chris Straayer\, Deviant Eyes\, Deviant Bodies: Sexual Re-orientations in Film and Video (New York: Columbia University Press\, 1996) \nSex Bowl (8m)\nDir: Shu Lea Cheang\, Country: USA\, Year: 1994\, Language/s: English\nAll forms of human sport become sites for sexual play and celebratory eroticism. \n“The tape’s images are quick\, suggestive\, and sexy: fingers moving into bowling balls\, shoe-smelling and toe-sucking\, a dog wearing chain jewelry\, fish being wrapped at the market\, young naked couples having sex…. Edited like a music video\, the image track is a constant flow of fetishes that lure us into the promiscuous pace of girls who keep lists of their sexual encounters.” \n—Chris Straayer\, Deviant Eyes\, Deviant Bodies: Sexual Re-orientations in Film and Video (New York: Columbia University Press\, 1996) \nFingers and Kisses (5m)\nDir: Shu Lea Cheang\, Country: Japan\, Year: 1995\, Language/s: Japanese\, English\nCheang has taken her camera to the streets for a candid glimpse of lesbian public sexuality. If Asian women and lesbians share a certain amount of invisibility in the culture\, Fingers and Kisses offers not only a bold representation of both\, but a challenge to the question “What do lesbians do?” Tokyo’s own out-and-loud music by Chu punctuates the narrative as what begins in the streets continues under the sheets. \nComing Home (5m)\nDir: Shu Lea Cheang\, Country: USA\, Year: 1995\, Language/s: Japanese\, English\nThis humorous video begins with two women—one white\, the other Asian—attempting to fit into a Japanese bathtub. The awkward fitting of bodies into a small space is just one of the allegorical scenarios dramatized in a pressing appeal for lesbian rights. In a game of hanafuda (flower cards)\, the terms of lesbian domesticity are cleverly played out according to such legalities as joint property\, social security\, and pensions.

SUMMARY:All The Feels!: Ultimate Queer Fanvid Playlist
DESCRIPTION:Fanvids are short films using music\, edited by fans in an expression of all the feels around their favourite fandoms. Even with today’s films and television bursting with more queer characters than ever\, we still fight for true recognition\, representation\, and stories that go beyond the sometimes disappointing and limiting storylines we are given. Every fanvid is a DIY work of art\, combining music and clever edits to celebrate favourite shows\, rework plots\, commiserate in collective sadness\, and whatever feels there are to be had! \nCurated by Tara Brown\, queer crip Black fat femme and Fringe! Queer film & arts fest and freelance film curator. \nClick here for Tara’s YouTube playlist. \nACCESS \nThis playlist has an age recommendation of N/C 12+. \nThe fanvids have English audio. Some have English language captions or a transcript. Transcript of the other vids coming soon. With apologies for the lack of captions on all videos thanks to YouTube removing the option for community captions. Click here to sign a petition for YouTube to reverse this decision. \nThe playlist is 34 minutes long. \nContent notes: Discussion of homophobia\, biphobia\, and racism; depiction of brief nudity\, sex\, violence\, and blood. \n\n\n\n\nThe videos in All the Feels!: Ultimate Queer Fanvid Playlist include some loud music and fast editing. \n\n\n\n\nWe have a limited access fund to assist people with no or limited internet access to attend the Festival. If you would like to take this up\, please contact info@sqiff.org. \nIf you have any questions about accessibility at SQIFF 2020\, please contact info@sqiff.org.

SUMMARY:Sqifflix: More Love from Neelu
DESCRIPTION:Click here to access the full programme. \nOur special shorts programme More Love from Neelu showcases films by award-winning artist and filmmaker Neelu Bhuman\, whose feature film TRANSFINITE we are screening online 25 – 28 June. Neelu’s work explores social and political themes as they play out in close relations. Playfully evoking insights into the workings of difference in intimacy\, their films blend viewpoints ranging from race\, gender\, sexuality\, culture\, class\, and romance. \nIn FU377\, the dignity of queer people in India is under attack through Section 377\, which the Supreme Court had recently re-introduced\, re-criminalising ‘gay sex\,’ when the film was made in 2014. Meanwhile\, an adorable Indian mother is totally down with gay sex and wheels out some choice lines for her heartbroken queer daughter in an effort to cheer her up. \nMore Love. Less Prepackaged Bullshit. (2017) is set to the soul beat of Assata Shakur\, and features a trio resisting dystopia with a bowl of joy\, intimacy\, and love. \nNeelu’s 2016 short ṣadāqa is a kaleidoscopic view of friendship transcending borders. \nAll films have English language subtitles or captions. See notes for below for each film’s language/s\, level of accessibility for blind and partially sighted people\, age recommendation\, content notes\, and if the film contains flashing lights or sound levels that might be disturbing for some. These notes are also found on each film’s page on vimeo. \nThe films are all free to watch with thanks to Neelu Bhuman.

The scorching IPC Section 377 is re-unleashed to police to criminalise “gay sex” in India. While the law and the Supreme Court dated themselves back a few hundred years\, an adorable Indian mother has her knowledge of “gay sex” in mint condition\, wheeling out a tidbit or two for her heartbroken queer daughter in an effort to cheer her up. The pair are shocked into action by the Supreme Court’s latest rejection. \nLanguage/s: English\n \nAccessibility for blind and partially sighted people: Quite a lot of dialogue with some visual ideas; bright images.\n \nSound design access notes: None\n \nAge recommendation: 15+ \nContent note: Reference to sex.\n \nMore Love.
