SUMMARY:SQIFF x Porty Pride Film Night
DESCRIPTION:🔊 Listen to this Event Page\n        \n    \nOnce again\, SQIFF and Porty Pride are teaming up to bring you an eclectic mix of queer short films. \nThis edition celebrates multi-cultural intersections in queer cinema. The first film\, Who Will Be Remembered Here\, is a brave tale of reclaiming history against the backdrop of rural Scotland. Next is Dissonance which follows a young Black woman fleeing a homophobic upbringing and discovering herself in Glasgow. \nThen we have Oceania\, a colourful\, softly lit short about a teenage gamer dealing with grief. This is followed by a moving animation named Two Black Boys in Paradise that explores the joys and woes of queer black gays passionately in love. \nThen comes Two Travelling Aunties\, the adorable and funny story of two older lesbians from Singapore living out their dream travelling the world together in their van. Last but not least is the hilarious Sriracha. An east-asian drag king and a Turkish kebab chef clash over the condiment but are brought together by their rage towards some drunk British lads. \nThen please join us for a chatty informal Q&A with some of the filmmakers\, hosted by Nat Lall. \nCurated by Nat Lall \nTickets are on a pay what you can sliding scale of £5\, £10\, £15.
