SUMMARY:SQIFF Schools: Pride
DESCRIPTION:Summer\, 1984 – Margaret Thatcher is in power and the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) is on strike. In London\, a group of gay and lesbian activists decides to raise money to support the families of the striking miners. The Union seems embarrassed to receive their support but the activists are not deterred and set off in a minibus to a mining village in Wales to make their donation in person. And so begins the extraordinary story of two seemingly alien communities who form a surprising and ultimately triumphant partnership. \nRobert Kincaid\, a member of Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners who was present at events in 1984\, will join us for a Q&A after the film. \nPresented in association with LGBT Youth Scotland. \nThe event is suitable for Secondary 4-6. The film contains some strong language and sexual references. We are screening the film with English subtitles for accessibility. If anyone attending requires BSL interpretation for the introduction\, please let us know when booking. \nThe event is free for all schools\, youth groups\, and colleges. To book a place\, email helen@sqiff.org with the name of your school or group\, the name of the teacher supervising the trip\, the number of pupils you would like to bring\, and whether there are any accessibility requirements for anyone attending.

SUMMARY:Intersexion
DESCRIPTION:Is it a boy? Is it a girl? What if it’s neither? This award-winning doc explores the world of intersex people – those born with any one of a large number of variations that make their gender ambiguous according to traditional binary ideals. Presenter Mani Bruce Mitchell\, one of New Zealand’s first out intersex people\, and director Grant Lahood locate interviewees willing to share their experiences. They discuss living in a society with a restricted view of gender which\, at best\, has made them all but invisible and\, at worst\, has subjected many to damaging ‘corrective’ surgery. \nFollowed by a discussion with Joe Holliday from the UK’s first Intersex NGO Intersex UK and film critic and activist Jennie Kermode. \nACCESS: Level access at entrance with lift up to first floor for Theatre space. Accessible toilets on first floor (CCA). Film screening with subtitles for D/deaf and hard of hearing access. BSL interpretation for discussion. Audio description available. Film in English language.\n \n£5 / £4 conc / Free for unemployed and asylum seekers. Festival pass £40 / £30 conc. All prices include booking fee. \nTo book tickets\, 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/873562018/events’ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’]

SUMMARY:Queer Horror: Otto; or Up with Dead People
DESCRIPTION:Transgressive filmmaker Bruce LaBruce gave the zombie genre a distinctive update with Otto\, set in a not-too-distant future in which the undead have evolved the ability to speak and reason\, yet are still persecuted by the living. Sensitive Otto wanders the streets of Berlin before being recruited by eccentric filmmaker Medea Yarn for her zombie insurrection “magnum corpus” Up with Dead People. Whilst the eponymous hero struggles with unliving in the world\, LaBruce’s film develops into a savagely irreverent critique of consumer culture and a moving parable for being different. \nScreening with short Sauna the Dead: A Fairy Tale (21 mins). Introduced by Jordan Phillips\, queer horror maestro at Queen Margaret University. \nContent note: hardcore zombie sex and eating of flesh. \nACCESS: Level access with Cinema plus accessible toilets all on ground floor (CCA). Films screening with subtitles for D/deaf and hard of hearing access. Hearing loop available. BSL interpretation for introduction. Films in English language with long scenes with no dialogue.\n \n£5 / £4 conc / Free for unemployed and asylum seekers. Festival pass £40 / £30 conc. All prices include booking fee. \nTo book tickets\, 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/873559803/events?show_id=873559803′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’]

SUMMARY:When We Are Together We Can Be Everywhere
DESCRIPTION:When Marit Östberg finally had enough time to edit the footage she shot in 2011\, it was already four years old. And\, by then\, her idea of a mockumentary on how to (and how not to) make queer porn had quietly changed into something different: a nostalgic look at nostalgia and a way to rewrite her own history. Now\, she could look back at the idealism of the community she had lived and worked in\, but from the perspective of knowing how things had turned out. The result became something beautiful and thoughtful and funny and sad – and still very\, very hot. A film for sex-positive dreamers everywhere. \nWe’re pleased star Liz Rosenfeld will join us for a Q&A after the screening. Presented in partnership with Goethe Institut Glasgow. \nACCESS: Level access with Cinema plus accessible toilets all on ground floor (CCA). Film mostly in English language screening with subtitles for D/deaf and hard of hearing access. Some German language segments throughout. Hearing loop available. BSL interpretation for Q&A. \n£5 / £4 conc / Free for unemployed and asylum seekers. Festival pass £40 / £30 conc. All prices include booking fee. \nTo book tickets\, 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/873562020/events’ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’]

SUMMARY:Queer Horror: Fright Night
DESCRIPTION:Nobody believes teenage horror-film addict Charley Brewster when he becomes convinced his new neighbours are vampires. But with the evidence stacking up\, Charley enlists the help of washed-up television vampire killer Peter Vincent to destroy the suburban bloodsuckers. Basically posing as a posh homosexual couple\, these vamps have as much an appetite for fashion and antiques as they do for virginal flesh. Meanwhile Charley becomes so obsessed with the sexy stranger next door\, his poor girlfriend doesn’t get a look in. \nIntroduced by Jordan Phillips\, queer horror maestro at Queen Margaret University. \nACCESS: Level access at entrance with lift up to first floor for Theatre space. Accessible toilets on first floor (CCA). Film screening with subtitles for D/deaf and hard of hearing access. BSL interpretation for introduction.

SUMMARY:SQIFF Family Film: Inside Out
DESCRIPTION:Do you ever look at someone and wonder what is going on inside their head? Inside Out ventures inside the mind to find out. Platform Glasgow is proud to present a FREE screening of Disney Pixar’s original new film as part of this year’s Scottish Queer International Film Festival. \nBased in Headquarters\, the control center inside 11-year-old Riley’s mind\, five Emotions are hard at work\, led by lighthearted optimist Joy (voice of Amy Poehler)\, whose mission is to make sure Riley stays happy. Fear (voice of Bill Hader) heads up safety\, Anger (voice of Lewis Black) ensures all is fair and Disgust (voice of Mindy Kaling) prevents Riley from getting poisoned—both physically and socially. Sadness (voice of Phyllis Smith) isn’t exactly sure what her role is\, and frankly\, neither is anyone else. \nWhen Riley’s family relocates to a scary new city\, the Emotions are on the job\, eager to help guide her through the difficult transition. But when Joy and Sadness are inadvertently swept into the far reaches of Riley’s mind—taking some of her core memories with them—Fear\, Anger and Disgust are left reluctantly in charge. Joy and Sadness must venture through unfamiliar places—Long Term Memory\, Imagination Land\, Abstract Thought and Dream Productions—in a desperate effort to get back to Headquarters\, and Riley. Pixar at its heart-tugging\, joyous best. \nWhy not make it a real trip out by checking out Platform’s Art Exhibitions\, Performance Programme as well as the public Library and Swimming Pool. \nACCESS: Level access\, ramps\, and accessible toilets (Platform). Films screening with subtitles for D/deaf and hard of hearing access. Film in English language.\n \nFREE but ticketed. Book tickets via the link below to be guaranteed a space. \n[bra_button text=’Buy Tickets’ url=’https://platform-online.ticketsolve.com/#/shows/873561276′ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’]
