SUMMARY:Wild Nights with Emily
DESCRIPTION:Writer/director Madeleine Olnek (The Foxy Merkins\, Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same) challenges the idea of 19th Century poet Emily Dickinson as a prudish recluse in this surreal comedy.

A unique take on the period drama\, Wild Nights with Emily also features voiceovers and onscreen text showcasing Dickinson’s poetry and passion. \nTickets are priced on a sliding scale £0-£8 depending on what you can afford. To book\, please use the button below. \n[bra_button text=’Buy Tickets’ url=’https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/wild-nights-with-emily-tickets-51778230080′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nFilm is in the English language with English language subtitles/captions. \nFilm contains lots of visual ideas and minimal\, often surreal dialogue\, so is less suitable for blind and partially sighted audiences. Large print versions of handouts available. \nScottish Youth Theatre has good access for wheelchair users. Click here for more details on venue access. \nWe have a limited travel fund to assist people to come to the Festival for those who could not otherwise afford to attend.

Evi Tsiligaridou\, Year: 2018\nThese Are My Hands is a short documentary film-poem written and performed by radical British playwright\, Jo Clifford. It is a deeply moving\, personal account of transgender embodiment in a lifetime\, speaking of wounds\, challenges\, victories\, and the journey towards self-empowerment. The poet’s voice is embraced by a lyrical\, mesmerising soundtrack and together with the graceful and intimate visuals composes a profoundly tender piece. \nEnid & Valerie (2m)\nDir. Matthew Kennedy\, Year: 2018\nEnid & Valerie is a short film about a lone spinster named Valerie. Here we venture in to her dreams\, where she meets Enid (a witch). Could this be the start of an unlikely friendship? \nLong Lost Lover (5m)\nDir. Sandra Alland & Ania Urbanowska\, Year: 2017\nBisexual deaf poet\, Bea Webster\, performs a poem in British Sign Language about her return to Thailand.

Conor Baird\, Year: 2018\nPouring On House engages with the gradual event of leaving a longtime family home. This strange grief is caught between the familiarity and fascination of interiors and the surrounding suburban sites. Throughout\, a body surveys potential presences of contamination whilst coming to realise a disorientating hopelessness felt from ongoing anti-queer conditioning. \nSubmerged Village (21m)\nDir. Andrew Black\, Year: 2017\nExpanding on elements of Pamela Colman Smith’s drawing for The Moon tarot card – two dogs\, a freshwater crayfish\, a pool of water\, a mountainous landscape – Submerged Village takes discrete moments at rural locations in Yorkshire and the West coast of Scotland and claims them as queer experiences.
