DESCRIPTION:Harika Özer is an impoverished trans sex worker whose family sought refuge from Siirt to Manisa in Turkey in the 80s. Raf\, a young queer man in the UK\, struggles to find his place amongst the crowd in a dive gay bar. Icarus arrives in a new city in Brazil and begins an affair with a man that soon goes agonisingly wrong. Real historical figure Mary MacLane cuts a forlorn queer figure in her lonely Montana hometown at the turn of the 20th Century. And Fetish is a Black man in the streets reclaiming his body through magic\, fire\, and defiance. Each character experiences pain and vulnerability and must negotiate how to cope in these stories of tenderness and anguish. \nTickets are priced on a sliding scale £0-£8 depending on what you can afford. To book\, please use the button below or call CCA box office on +44 (0)141 352 4900. \n[bra_button text=’Buy Tickets’ url=’https://ccaglasgow.ticketsolve.com/shows/873598286′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nFilms are in English\, Portuguese\, and Turkish languages with English language subtitles/captions.

In his own words\, he is a transsexual feeling female spirit in his own body since early childhood. He has lived in Izmir since 2000 and makes a living through prostitution. This work is a documentary project realised by Harika (literally translated as ‘wonderful’)\, posing for the camera with all his self-confidence and courage. It gives the audience a non-judgemental stance against homophobia. \nFour Quartets (10m)\nDir. Marco Alessi\, Year: 2018\nOver the course of a night out in a gay dive bar\, Raf struggles to find his place amongst the crowd. Four Quartets is a short film about queer community\, and how the anxieties and conditioning we face sometimes stop us from letting ourselves belong. \nAdeus Estrada de Tijolos Amarelos (19m)\nDir. Hiran Matheus\, Year: 2018\nIcarus arrives in another city to try life as a telemarketer\, but when he goes out at night he is caught by a boy. Screenplay based on a Elton John song and filmed with a cell phone. \nBetween my flesh and the world’s fingers (31m)\nDir. Talena Sanders\, Year: 2018\nMary MacLane\, the Wild Woman of Butte\, Montana\, published her diaries in 1902 and 1917. As an out queer and proto-feminist at the turn of the century\, MacLane became notorious upon the publication of her 1902 diary\, I Await the Devil’s Coming. She was whisked away from the industrial hellscape of her copper mining Montana hometown to a life in the public eye as an author\, journalist\, female film pioneer and always a provocateur – sending up social norms throughout her career\, with a special focus on staid notions about women and sexuality. \nBetween my flesh and the world’s fingers is an experimental essay and diary film primarily based on her published diaries and her film work. \nFETISH (16m)\nDir. Topher Campbell\, Year: 2018\nThe character of Fetish is a representation of so many things. He is at once a clear form – a body – and formless\, like the bodies of Basquiat. As a Black man in the streets\, he is both positioned by othering and places himself in a world of looking\, power\, strength\, harassment\, fashion\, sexual objectification\, invisibility\, visibility\, admiration\, CCTV\, selfies\, vulnerability\, humour\, performance\, protest\, danger\, violence and humour. If you have ever been stopped by police for being Black\, embarrassment\, futility and vulnerability are at the apex of the experience. Or\, as is the case with Tamir\, Philando\, Freddy\, Sandra and so on\, being dead and treated like shit is what happens. Fetish in this film experiences and represents this painful embarrassment and vulnerability. It’s hard to watch and painful to experience. \nBy the end of the film through magic\, through fire\, through defiance\, through being a multi-dimensional being in touch with the elements\, Fetish reclaims his body and stands like a colossus in The City.

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.

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.

During this claustrophobic open-air journey\, they touch on intimate subjects\, from making best use of three centimetres to Joanna’s recent breakup. However\, Suzie’s breakup advice leads to an unexpected confession. \nRUN(A)WAY ARAB (12m)\nDir. Amrou Al-Khadi\, Year: 2017\nNazeem is a 26 year old Middle Eastern drag queen who names herself QUEEN ZA DREAM – she is preparing for a show with the utmost gravity\, with an outfit evocative of an Egyptian deity.
 Interwoven with this is the story of Nazeem as a genderqueer 8 year-old boy\, and the close bond he has with his Iraqi-Egyptian mother\, Halima. Whilst flamboyant and in many ways a drag queen herself on the surface\, Halima is governed by the strict expectations of gender in Arab society. \nCinema Fouad (41m)\nDir. Mohamed Soueid\, Year: 1994\nKhaled\, a Syrian transgender migrant dreams of undergoing gender transition surgery. While trying to make a living from various menial jobs\, she falls in love with a Palestinian freedom fighter and joins his resistance. Gently\, compassionately\, Cinema Fouad draws a portrait of Khaled and introduces the viewer to one of Beirut’s rarely seen netherworlds.

SUMMARY:SQIFF Shorts: Bodies and Borders
DESCRIPTION:The most urgent issues surrounding identity and oppression revolve around bodies and borders. In Being Okey\, a gay Nigerian man is denied asylum in Switzerland and consequently caught between the constant fear of being sent home and hope of a life in safety. ABEO is an animation by Latinx artist Brenda M. Lopez Zepeda depicting the journey of two immigrants risking their lives to cross the Arizona desert. My Shoreline is an experimental film-poem about a disabled queer body in water\, and My Own Wings documents intersex people from around the world. Working class queer bodies and class borders are forefronted in Krissy Mahan’s All in a Day’s Work and the implication of supposed sexual boundaries is explored in Patricia Silva’s bisexual ode\, A Feeling More Than a Picture. Finally\, legendary lesbian filmmaker Barbara Hammer’s new short\, Evidentiary Bodies\, is a plea for empathy and compassion generated through the viewing of other beings.  \nTickets are priced on a sliding scale £0-£8 depending on what you can afford. To book\, please use the button below or call CCA box office on +44 (0)141 352 4900. \n[bra_button text=’Buy Tickets’ url=’https://ccaglasgow.ticketsolve.com/shows/873598338/events/128819651′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nFilms in English and Spanish languages with English language subtitles/captions.

SUMMARY:The Owls at GFAF
DESCRIPTION:Two OWL (older\, wiser lesbian) couples accidentally kill a younger woman and hide the body but their dark secret comes back to haunt them in Cheryl Dunye’s experimental\, collaborative movie\, The Owls. Featuring Dunye’s trademark\, self-reflexive style where both characters and actors create video diaries adjacent to the main narrative\, The Owls also attempted collective filmmaking with cast and crew encouraged to pitch in ideas.\n \nThose involved form a roll call of lesbian film excellence with Guinevere Turner\, Lisa Gornick\, V.S. Brodie\, and Dunye playing the ageing\, bitter queers\, and Sarah Schulman\, Alex Juhasz\, and Campbell X amongst others working behind the scenes. Dunye’s fourth feature film as director is an under-appreciated examination of lesbian culture and aesthetics with a good dose of crime movie genre fun thrown in. \n \nThe film will be introduced by SQIFF’s Helen Wright. Screening as part of Glasgow Feminist Arts Festival\, taking place 15 to 18 November.\n \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://ccaglasgow.ticketsolve.com/shows/873598169′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’]\n \n  \nACCESS \nFilm in the English language with English language subtitles/captions for access. Hearing loop available. \nFilm relies to some extent on visual material to convey ideas but contains a lot of explanatory dialogue. Large print versions of handouts available. \nCCA has good access for wheelchair users. Click here for more details on venue access. \nComfy seating (bean bags) available.

SUMMARY:What (the Fuck) is Lesbian Cinema? + The Book of Gabrielle (Glasgow)
DESCRIPTION:The Book of Gabrielle is a clever dramedy about an intimate yet platonic relationship that develops between a female graphic artist and an older male erotic novelist. Saul delights in Gabrielle’s description of her past affairs and ongoing relationship with her younger girlfriend\, Olivia (Anna Koval)\, just as Gabrielle likes to explore masculinity through Saul. Does he help Gabrielle find her artistic voice or is Saul finding his? Does she need to break from his patriarchy in order to find herself? \nTo coincide with the launch of the film\, director and star Lisa Gornick presents an accompanying live drawing show What (the Fuck) is Lesbian Cinema? Using pen\, paper\, and watercolour\, Gornick explores where the desires of lesbian film are at right now alongside the politics\, money\, and passions aroused around it. Lisa will also take part in a Q&A after the film screening. \nAlso taking place at Edinburgh Filmhouse on Sunday 29th October 2.30pm. \nACCESS: The Lighthouse has level access at the entrance with a lift available to the screening space. Accessible toilets available. English language with English captions. If you would like to attend and require BSL interpretation for the live drawing show\, please email info@sqiff.org and we will book this for you. \nAges 15+. \nTicket prices are £10\, £5\, or FREE.

SUMMARY:SQIFF Shorts: Regen(d)eration
DESCRIPTION:SQIFF and Hidden Door collaborate to bring you a lovingly curated programme of shorts exploring queer notions of rebirth to consider how we (re)construct\, navigate and negotiate our queer identities. From captivating\, tender animations to the provocative\, exciting\, experimental\, this selection of short films showcases some SQIFF favourites made by queer people about queer people! \nACCESS: All films will be screened with subtitles to make them more accessible for D/deaf and hard of hearing audiences. Unfortunately\, we have been informed that due to the derelict and temporary nature of Hidden Door’s venue\, the cinema space will not be wheelchair accessible and we are really sorry about this. Please contact festival@hiddendoorblog.org for further information about the venue’s accessibility. \nTickets are £16 (concessions £14)\, which includes admission to all Hidden Door events on 2nd June. We have a limited amount of free tickets for those who are unemployed and for asylum seekers as well as some half price tickets (£8) for those on a low income. Please email laura@sqiff.org if you require a discount code for either of these ticket options as they must be booked in advance through the ticketing webpage. \n[bra_button text=’Buy Tickets’ url=’http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2879664′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’]

SUMMARY:Lesbian with a Movie Camera
DESCRIPTION:As part of LGBT History Month Scotland\, we present a lovingly-curated selection of indie\, punk\, and DIY lesbian shorts from across half a century of filmmaking\, featuring known names and unsung (s)heroes alike.  Ranging from the hilarious to the experimental\, the programme features a rare screening of Caroline Sheldon’s witty and subversive 17 Rooms (Or What Do Lesbians Do in Bed?). Scheduled in 1986 for a prime slot on Channel Four’s pioneering In The Pink season\, Sheldon’s film was scandalously pulled at the last minute – not because of any explicit content but because it was thought audiences might object to its title. \nThis is a free\, unticketed event; donations are very much appreciated and will collected after the screening.  The screening is on the ground floor of our venue Transmission. Accessible toilet available. Films shown will include captions for better D/deaf and hard of hearing access.

SUMMARY:LUX Scotland and SQIFF present: Dani Leventhal
DESCRIPTION:Presented by LUX Scotland in association with SQIFF and Transmission\, American artist Dani Leventhal visits Glasgow to show and discuss her recent video work. \nHer videos are disjunctive\, diaristic\, and often feature people who become the unassuming subjects of her work. Describing her working process\, Leventhal says\, “I start with a subject that I care deeply about / I concentrate on fear\, desire\, anger\, confusion\, and love. / I concentrate on the emotional relationships between humans\, humans and animals\, and humans and their environments. / I am particularly interested in the way we develop based on our experiences in childhood\, and then the process of undoing it.” \nPresenting her shorts alongside her recent collaboration Hard As Opal with Jared Buckhiester\, Leventhal will also present a preview of her in-progress work\, Strangely Ordinary This Devotion\, a collaboration with Sheilah Wilson. \nThis is event is free and unticketed. \nACCESS: Transmission is accessible for wheelchair users via Trongate 103. Please enter at the street entrance to Trongate 103 and take the lift to the basement floor. Accessible toilets available. SQIFF has a policy of screening films with English subtitles or captions for deaf and hard of hearing access but unfortunately we are not able to do so on this occasion – big apologies for this.
