SUMMARY:SQIFF Shorts: Luv Sucks
DESCRIPTION:Romantic relationships can be tough. SQIFF offers up an alternative to punching walls and texting your ex when pished with these shorts from the heart – as in stomping all over it and dumping it in the trash.

The vast power of the cosmos can’t prevent a bickering lesbian couple from breaking up. A sex worker has his hopes dashed by the man he loves. And in 2033 Botswana\, a man loses his lover to dystopian despair. \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/873611637/events/129089814′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nThis screening has an age recommendation of N/C 15+. \nFilms have a mixture of Arabic\, English\, Spanish\, Portuguese\, and Tswana audio and BSL with English subtitles/captions.

DESCRIPTION:Kattumaram depicts the Tsunami-affected lives of middle-aged Singaram and his orphaned niece Anandhi and nephew Mani. Singaram works hard as a fisherman to provide for his family and tries to arrange a groom for his niece\, who rejects all proposed alliances.

Passengers board from different places but for a brief moment in time they are all headed in the same direction. We share one such ride with our co-traveller Anshuman\, a trans man. As the stations pass by we begin to look at the metro space from his perspective. His is the story of reclaiming public space and one’s own self. The doors will open on the quest. Please mind the gap. \nContent note: Discussion of transphobia.

SUMMARY:Talk: Queering the Small Screen
DESCRIPTION:Where cinema is falling behind in queer representation\, television is making leaps and bounds: in 2018\, a GLAAD survey showed a record-high percentage of queer characters on broadcast and streaming television. Zoë Shacklock\, Associate Lecturer in Film Studies at the University of St Andrews\, gives a talk on the surge in representations of queer identity\, desire\, and sex on contemporary TV. What kinds of queer stories and bodies do we see on our screens? Is there something about television making it particularly suited to exploring queer sexuality? Drawing from examples like Sense8\, American Gods\, Pose\, Black Mirror\, Special\, and Gentleman Jack\, topics will include presentation of explicit queer sex and how TV queerness intersects with race and disability. \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/873611625/events/129089659′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nThis event has an age recommendation of 18+. \nAny film clips shown in the talk screening with English captions/subtitles.

SUMMARY:A Girl’s Band
DESCRIPTION:From 80s punk to modern day synth pop\, rocking Argentinian queer women artists are chronicled in A Girl’s Band by bassist turned filmmaker\, Marilina Giménez. Her band YiLet broke up long ago but Giménez still has access to dozens of musicians who are ready to speak their truths about partying on the road\, sexual harassment\, and the recognised truth that any men in ‘girl bands’ ruin the whole vibe. Veteran bands like The She-Devils get the mosh pits going\, while newcomers Chocolate Remix and Miss Bolivia reinvent reggaeton and pop. These women also double as badass activists fighting for safe and legal abortions whilst being determined to make an indelible mark on the stomping girl-led music scene in Argentina. \nIn association with Girls Rock Glasgow with an introduction by Sarah Glass from band The Fnords. \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/873611623/events/129089657′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nThis screening has an age recommendation of N/C 12+. \nFilm has Spanish\, Italian\, and English audio with English language subtitles/captions.
