SUMMARY:A Womb of Their Own
DESCRIPTION:How do people who don’t experience themselves as simply female or male handle a culture that offers only these two identities?

Each individual and couple navigates gender expectations – coming even from within the LGBT community – that don’t fit them. Follow their stories as they establish their own gender\, develop their definition of family\, grow a baby in their bodies\, and birth\, chestfeed\, and parent their children as non-binary masculine people. \nACCESS: Level access at entrance of CCA with Cinema space on ground floor.

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.

SUMMARY:Out Run
DESCRIPTION:As leader of the world’s only LGBT political party\, Bemz Benedito dreams of being the first transgender woman in the Philippine Congress.
