SUMMARY:I Do?: The Lodger (Glasgow)
DESCRIPTION:The Lodger is an early film from Alfred Hitchcock\, in which the notoriously queer-minded filmmaker gives a subversive critique of married coupledom – a trope which would infuse his later US work. A serial killer known as ‘The Avenger’ is loose in London and a mysterious lodger\, played by Ivor Novello\, becomes a suspect. His landlords’ daughter\, Daisy\, is courting a policeman\, Joe\, but is drawn to the enigmatic stranger. Daisy’s doubts about marrying Joe are conveyed through typical Hitchcock metaphors such as handcuffs whilst her attraction to Novello’s very queer character serves as a comment on the expansiveness of desire beyond heteronormative relationships. \nRated PG. \n£4 (£3 concessions). To book tickets please use the button below. We have a number of free tickets to give away. If you can’t afford the ticket price for any reason\, please email helen@sqiff.org or call 07735 273 245 to register for free entry. \nFilm silent with intertitles.

SUMMARY:SQIFF Schools: Pride
DESCRIPTION:Summer\, 1984 – Margaret Thatcher is in power and the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) is on strike.
