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.

SUMMARY:Transfinite
DESCRIPTION:Transfinite is a sci-fi omnibus feature film by Neelu Bhuman composed of seven standalone short stories where supernatural trans and queer people from various cultures use their powers to protect\, love\, teach\, fight\, and thrive.

Sometimes we have lost control of life and sometimes we find a way to use our rage\, resentment\, and frustrations to grow a beautiful garden. In Transfinite\, the protagonists\, like smooth warriors\, choose to find that inner power and use it to transform undesirable situations into desirable ones in a snap. \nScreening with Tomgirl (10m)\, in which a young Filipino boy in Australia gets an enchanting crash-course in his homeland culture. \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/873611622/events/129089656′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nThis screening has an age recommendation of N/C 15+. \nFilms have English\, Navajo\, Swahili\, Spanish\, Asura (in Japanese)\, and Tagalog audio with English language subtitles/captions.

Eve McConnachie\, Year: 2019\nFrontiers questions traditional gendered roles in classical ballet by refusing to adhere to dated stereotypes: women powerfully command the space\, men intimately embrace each other. Frontiers contrasts the fluidity of the human form with the brutalist concrete motorways that cut through the heart of Glasgow. \nContent note: None. \nwe were always here (4m)\nDir. Michael Lee Richardson\, Garry Mac\, Year: 2019\nA queer reimagining of the working men’s club. A dance-powered journey through space and time. \nContent note: None. \nAcceptable Face (6m)\nDir: Holly Summerson\, Year: 2019\n“The sort of person who someone might say: ‘oh he’s gay\, but he’s lovely!’” Acceptable Face is an animated discussion about the ‘ideal’ respectable queer person. How would they look\, act\, and let people know that they’re not “that kind of gay”? Based on a series of interviews with LGBTQ+ people\, this experimental charcoal animation explores the pressure to be a ‘good example’\, and the joy of refusing to conform. \nContent note: Discussion of homophobia and transphobia. \nDix Pix (4m)\nDir. Steven Fraser\, Year: 2019\nDix Pix is a short animated documentary that looks at the gay male/trans/non-binary body and why it is common for people to send naked pictures via dating apps. The documentary takes an experimental approach in its visual style and tackles themes of masculinity\, queerness\, solitude\, and the body. \nContent note: Depiction of animated nudity and sex. \n2x+xy=1 (12m)\nDir. Wei Zhang\, Year: 2019\nWei Zhang’s practice is an experimental film created by multi post-production technologies\, including 3D animation. 2x+xy=1 is constructed by the abstract fluid matters and concrete polygons to display the feature of the non-binary and the binary\, the expression of emotion and the symbol of predicament. \nContent note: Depiction of nudity. \nNone of the Above (16m)\nDir. Siri Rødnes\, Year: 2018\nEmbarking upon a distinctly postmodern cyber experiment\, Cassie charts her dating odyssey on her personal vlog\, posting regular updates to her ever-growing number of followers. But when sensitive rendezvous footage goes viral\, she becomes a media pariah. \nContent note: Depiction of homophobia\, mental health issues\, and suicide (graphic). \nRoberta Cowell’s Story (1m)\nDir. Melissa J Clifford\, Year: 2019\nRoberta Cowell’s Story is a one minute short detailing the life and achievements of one of the most prolific British Trans Women of the 20th century. It originally debuted as one of five short films in DOCMA filmmaking challenge  #39 AMBITION. The short was created by Melissa Joan Clifford\, a trans woman\, and was made in the style of an archival film. \nContent note: Reference to transphobia. \nA Woman is Her Most Beautiful on Her Wedding Day / Someone I Hate (3m)\nDir. Nastia Nikolskaya\, Year: 2019\nTitled both A Woman is Her Most Beautiful on Her Wedding day and Someone I hate\, this film draws on the filmmaker/artist’s own upbringing in a more conservative and gender constrained environment. Employing ubiquitous wedding videography x perfume advertisement tropes\, the work is a humorous exploration of how the narratives we have absorbed dictate our daily lives\, driving our short-term and long-term decisions. \nContent note: None. \nGlue (4m)\nDir. Eleanor Capaldi\, Year: 2019\nWhen you’ve been dreaming of the past for so long\, what do you do when she’s finally there? Agnes meets her ex\, Anna\, for the first time since their break up and needs to decide whether to stay stuck in the past or move on to the new. \nContent note: None. \nPossessive Skin (2m)\nDir. Myles McEachan\, Year: 2019\n“To accept yourself against the face of adversity\, is the purest form of courage.” A self-reflective insight into the fundamentals of culture within the Trans masculine community\, and how in an age that prides itself on inclusion\, we still find segregation and discrimination within even the most marginalised of people\, which reflects us inwards. \nContent note: Description of mental health issues and transphobia. \nWhat Is Happiness? (6m)\nDir. Claire Clark\, Year: 2019\nWhat Is Happiness? is a British Sign Language poem shining a light on some of the elements of that impossible question and showcasing positive representation of BSL poetry as an art form. \nContent note: None. \nThe 16mb\, Future Sounds & A Mini City (15m)\nDir. Natasha Lall\, Year: 2018\nThe 16mb\, Future Sounds & A Mini City explores retrofuturism through the lens of a shy and naïve queer. 3 short sci-fi\, lo-fi films shot in Glasgow. \nContent note: None. \nCrypsis (9m)\nDir. Christopher McGill\, Year: 2019\nAfter fleeing for his life\, a gay refugee files for asylum in Scotland. Lacking evidence\, he decides to photograph himself in the dark techno world of a queer underground scene. Based on accounts of real-life African LGBT refugees and the challenges they face during the asylum process\, Crypsis is a raw depiction of a grim reality obscured by vitriolic public debate about refugees and the broken system that surrounds them. \nContent note: Discussion of homophobic violence; depiction of trauma.

SUMMARY:A Dog Barking at the Moon
DESCRIPTION:In director Zi Xiang’s exceptional feature debut – a Teddy Jury award-winner at the Berlin Film Festival – decades of open secrets and resentment create chaos within a Chinese family. When she brings her white western boyfriend for a visit to China\, pregnant Huang Xiaoyu gets caught up in her parent’s ongoing feud. Her father’s gay affairs and her worn-out mother’s seduction by a predatory cult bring matters to a crescendo as the narrative jumps cleverly between past and present. Zi Xiang expertly analyses repression which is woven into society and causes unhappiness to be passed down across generations. \nTickets are priced on a sliding scale £0-£8 depending on what you can afford. To book\, please use the button below or call GFT box office on +44 (0)141 332 6535. \n[bra_button text=’Buy Tickets’ url=’https://glasgowfilm.org/whats-on/all/booking?eventid=42403′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nThis screening has an age recommendation of N/C 15+. \nFilm has Chinese and English audio with English language subtitles/captions.

SUMMARY:Cassandro\, the Exotico!
DESCRIPTION:Cassandro is a well-known lucha libre wrestler known for his extravagant gayness and equally spectacular wrestling moves. Shot on 16mm over the course of 5 years\, Marie Losier’s film follows a champion coming to terms with his increasingly ailing body. We bear witness to Cassandro’s scars\, both mental and physical\, his pain contrasting with his flamboyant masks and aerial manoeuvres in the ring. The Mexican legend struggles to deal with past addiction and abuse\, which continue to haunt him. But his joy and strength in creating space for his queer self within conservative cultural traditions make for a fascinating and invigorating watch. \nPresented in partnership with Document Human Rights Film Festival.

SUMMARY:SQIFF Shorts: Some Like it Rough
DESCRIPTION:We delve into the varied practices of BDSM and societal attitudes towards this age-old erotic preference\, which continues to be subject to stigmatisation and censorship. In Lasting Marks\, one of sixteen gay men put on trial for taking part in consensual sadomasochism in late 80s England narrates his experience. Berlin-based conscious BDSM practitioner\, Caritia\, explains her spiritual journey through eroticism and life in Rituals + Worship. In French dramedy\, Dressed for Pleasure\, a young disabled woman seeks a more exhilarating sexual satisfaction. Mockumentary No Democracy Here sees a lefty dominatrix employed by right-wing Israeli men to force them into recanting their politics. The programme concludes with super hot non-binary\, lesbian action with a punk boidyke given the rough-tender treatment in Driven. \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/873611616/events/129089648′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’] \n  \nACCESS \nThis screening has an age recommendation of N/C 18+. \nFilms have English\, French\, Hebrew\, and German audio with English language subtitles/captions.

Director Charlie Lyne has created an experimental recreation of what happened offered by the men themselves. \nContent note: Discussion of sex including BDSM\, homophobia\, mental health issues\, and police persecution. \nRituals + Worship (13m)\nDir: Morgana Muses\, Country: Germany\, Year: 2015\, Language/s: English\nA short BDSM documentary that explores the workshop culture in Berlin and focuses on conscious BDSM practitioner\, Caritia. \nContent note: Depiction of BDSM.

The arrival in the house of a new cleaner\, Victoria\, a trans woman\, will upset the family balance. \nContent note: Depiction of nudity\, sex including reference to BDSM\, and transphobia. \nNo Democracy Here (25m)\nDir: Liad Hussein Kantorowicz\, Country: Germany\, Palestine\, Israel\, Year: 2017\, Language/s: Hebrew\nNo Democracy Here deals with the topic of political domination. Liad\, a lefty human rights defender dominatrix\, re-educates her Israeli right-wing-leaning obedient submissive slaves to follow upstanding leftist ethos and morals\, like freedom of movement\, economic justice\, direct democracy and human rights by using domination practices such as humiliation\, doggy-training\, coercion\, and administration of pain. \nContent note: Depiction of light BDSM and racism. \nDriven (13m)\nDir: Toni Karat\, Country: Germany\, Year: 2018\, Language/s: German\, English\nA punk boidyke\, handcuffed\, facing the wall in a sparse\, empty room\, breathes heavily with anxiety and expectation. And anxious she should be\, for the rough treatment she will face in the 13 minutes that follow! The film is a contribution to much-needed lesbian visibility – conveying a proud and unashamed image of dyke eroticism and BDSM – also at the age of 50+! \nContent note: Depiction of BDSM including consensual non-consent.

SUMMARY:Lemebel
DESCRIPTION:Pedro Lemebel’s sharp\, poetic texts and provocative performances make him one of South America’s most significant artists. Under Pinochet’s dictatorship in Chile\, Lemebel expressed things most wouldn’t dare. For the country’s left-wing opposition\, his queerness made him an awkward figure as he exposed their machismo and homophobia. Lemebel embodied an uncomfortable gay identity and fiercely criticised the wish of some queer people to assimilate. Lemebel uses slides and video clips to shape an essay-like memento\, enhanced with intimate interviews\, to portray a tireless fighter who continued to speak out until the end of his life. \nJoanna Reposi Garibaldi will join us for a Q&A after the screening. Kindly sponsored by Scottish Documentary Institute. Part of strand Latinx Legends. Joanna will also be giving a workhop on documentary filmmaking as part of the Festival.

If you would like to apply for this\, please contact access@sqiff.org. \nTickets \nIn order to make SQIFF more accessible to those on a low income\, we use a sliding scale ticket price of £0-£8 for our events. You can choose what you pay based on your circumstances – you won’t be asked for any proof / ID\, we just ask that you are honest! Our ticket sales go towards supporting the vital work of LGBTQ+ filmmakers\, artists and organisers. If you have a free ticket and can no longer use it\, please contact the relevant venue box office to let them know so it can be used by someone else. For more info on what you should pay\, click here.
