SUMMARY:SQIFF Queer Filmmakers Group
DESCRIPTION:🔊 Listen to this Event Page\n        \n     \n  \nOur July session has been developed in partnership with the Scottish Documentary Institute. \nDuring this session\, we will screen Big Moves\, a short film directed by Glasgow based\, queer working-class filmmaker Sarah Grant: “After a lifetime of being told that she\, as a fat person\, could not dance (and believing it)\, Glasgow filmmaker Sarah Grant was very surprised to learn when doing dance classes over zoom in the pandemic (with the camera off\, of course)\, that this was a big fat lie.” \nScreening time: 14 minutes \nBig Moves was developed through SDI’s Bridging the Gap programme\, which will be opening a call out for applications soon. Come along as we watch the film and then hold conversation space with Alexandra Colta\, SDI’s head of Talent Development & Distribution. \nSDI nurtures filmmakers and supports author-driven\, compelling\, thought-provoking documentaries for the big screen. One of their programmes\, Bridging the Gap\, offers development training\, a cash budget\, and one year of international festival distribution to emerging filmmakers based in Scotland and Northern Ireland. They also provide year-round tailored consultancies\, workshops\, masterclasses and so much more. \nThis is a great opportunity to understand the processes in applying for support from SDI for any short documentary films you are hoping to develop and learn more about their catalogue of opportunities. \nAbout the group \nThe SQIFF Queer Filmmakers Group is an initiative to bring local queer filmmakers together for monthly two-hour group sessions to network and support each other in the development of film projects. \nThe group is open for any level of filmmaking or film supporting arts (acting\, prop making\, music and sound design…) and we really encourage people just starting out in these mediums to come along. \nJoin a very friendly and supportive cohort of queer artists in Scotland making films! \n  \nThis session is delivered thanks to support from See Me Scotland\, No Drama\, Glasgow Filmmakers Alliance. \nTickets are on a pay what you can sliding scale of FREE\, £2\, £4\, £6\, £8\, £10\, or £12. To book\, click here or call the CCA Box Office on 0141 352 4900. \n  \nAccessibility:  \nBSL-English interpretation for the whole event. \nRelaxed event. \nWheelchair Access. \nWe have an Audience Access Fund for travel costs.

The films created will be screened as part of a showcase during Edinburgh Deaf Festival 2024! \nThis workshop is designed to equip you with the skills to make films with equipment you already have.
