SUMMARY:D.I.Why? (Filmmaking Workshops for QTIPOC+)
DESCRIPTION:🔊 Listen to this Event Page\n        \n    \n  \n\nAre you LGBTQIA+ and Black/a Person of Colour and would like to learn how to make your own short films? \nSQIFF and Exhale Group C.I.C. are bringing you 4x filmmaking workshop sessions\, making film an accessible medium to get into. All sessions will be facilitated by Nat Lall and hosted at Transmission Gallery. \nNat Lall is a Glasgow-based film curator\, known for their work with the SQIFF. Nat is also an artist and DJ. Notable works include the film Pink Excavation (2018) and their musical alias is DJ FLUFFIE. \nEach workshop will focus on a different aspect of filmmaking. It’d be great if you could attend all four sessions\, but don’t be discouraged to come if you can only come for a couple of sessions that you’re really excited about! \n\n  \nInformation on this session (1/4): \nIn our first session together we are going to look into why DIY(Do It Yourself) filmmaking is such a fun and accessible way to make film. What if we used our limitations as a starting point for our creativity? That’s what I did! \nWe’re going to play around with cheap\, camp objects from our homes and pound shops. I personally love the look of cheap bits of tatt\, they tend to be colourful\, childish and inventive. They’re often not fit for purpose and how/why they could actually be used gets my creative juices flowing. We are going to use these objects as a starting point for our narratives. We will imagine new worlds from these precious\, and cost-friendly wonders. \nWith a bit of observation\, free-writing and plenty of imagination… we will think up conceptual bases for our films. We’ll do a bit of improvised narration as we ponder on our objects. And by the end of the session\, each filmmaker will have a some clips about a fantastical world in which these objects exist. \nPS. No equipment\, or prior filmmaking knowledge is necessary. Everything will be shot on our phone cameras. If you do not have one to use\, please be in touch and we will organise a camera for you to borrow. Also\, be in touch if you have any access needs. \n  \nTickets are FREE. To book a spot\, click here. \n  \nAccessibility: \n\nWheelchair Access Including Accessible Bathroom.\nSnacks and Drinks will be provided.\nQuiet Space – A designated quiet space will be available during these workshop sessions.\nAudience Travel and Access Fund – We have an Audience Access Fund that can support any audience member with costs within Scotland to be able to attend our events (ie. travel or childcare costs). Please get in touch by emailing info@sqiff.org or speak to our team at the event if you require this. You do not need to give a reason for accessing the fund.\nFace Masks – FFP2 masks will be available for free around the venue.\nSupport Animals – Support animals and service animals such as guide dogs are welcome at Transmission Gallery.\nThe SQIFF Team will be available to support with navigating the venue for anyone that needs it.\n\nIf you have any other access needs you would like to discuss with us\, please get in touch with us at info@sqiff.org. \n  \nSupported by Screen Scotland and National Lottery funding from the BFI. \n  \nDonate: \nDonate to SQIFF via PayPal or sign up to one of our four Patreon tiers to support our work and show us you’re a big SQIFF fan 🌈✨ \n  \nImage Credit: SQIFF

SUMMARY:Acting is just me hanging out with my friends (Filmmaking Workshops for QTIPOC+)
DESCRIPTION:🔊 Listen to this Event Page\n        \n    \n  \n\nAre you LGBTQIA+ and Black/a Person of Colour and would like to learn how to make your own short films? \nSQIFF and Exhale Group C.I.C. are bringing you 4x filmmaking workshop sessions\, making film an accessible medium to get into.

It’d be great if you could attend all four sessions\, but don’t be discouraged to come if you can only come for a couple of sessions that you’re really excited about! \n\n  \nInformation on this session (2/4): \nDon’t have the time or money or energy to write a script and cast actors? Don’t worry… just have a fun silly day with your pals and film it. Once again\, that’s what I did. \nWe’ll chat about filming dialogue on the fly\, making filming your friends into a fun hang out instead of a job\, and ways to repay your pals in other ways than money. \nI’ll be honest with you\, you’re probably not going to earn loadsa cash from your DIY films\, you could\, but it’s unlikely. So make it fun and worth your time. Be honest\, and kind\, to yourself about it. I struggle with the awkwardness of asking for favours too\, but maybe your pals/community actually love you..? Or if not at least maybe you could return the favour. \nWe’ll hang out together as a group\, we’ll have tea and chat\, and then we’ll devise rough ideas for acting in each others’ films. Then we’ll record our footage and help each other out. It won’t be too planned\, it won’t be scripted\, but it will be fun. \nPS. No equipment\, or prior filmmaking knowledge is necessary. Everything will be shot on our phone cameras. If you do not have one to use\, please be in touch and we will organise a camera for you to borrow.

SUMMARY:Fantasy Field Recording (Filmmaking Workshops for QTIPOC+)
DESCRIPTION:🔊 Listen to this Event Page\n        \n    \n  \n\nAre you LGBTQIA+ and Black/a Person of Colour and would like to learn how to make your own short films? \nSQIFF and Exhale Group C.I.C. are bringing you 4x filmmaking workshop sessions\, making film an accessible medium to get into.

It’d be great if you could attend all four sessions\, but don’t be discouraged to come if you can only come for a couple of sessions that you’re really excited about! \n\n  \nInformation on this session (3/4): \nWe’re going to get creative and make immersive\, otherworldly soundscapes\, from the comfort of the gallery space. Expect an intro to Foley\, Spatial Audio and my own concept of ‘IRL field recording’. \nFoley lets you create a range of textural sound effects to add into films. You can create big\, gory\, explosive\, slimy sounds simply with some everyday items and a microphone. \nSpatial Audio lets you create a physical space with your recordings. Rather than flat mono sounds\, you can place your sounds left or right\, up or down and forwards or back. It lets your audience transport to vast otherworldly dimensions… without you having to leave the comfort of your home or studio. \nIRL Field Recording is a concept I coined during my BA in Sound Arts. The soundscapes are not at all recorded ‘In Real Life’\, rather they are dreamed up and carefully devised. The name represents my skeptical views towards the ‘facts’ of science\, reality\, and notably gender. Who constructed these ‘facts’ anyway? Is everything not sci-fi to an extent? \nPS. No equipment\, or prior audio recording knowledge is necessary. Also\, be in touch if you have any access needs. \n  \nTickets are FREE.

SUMMARY:SQIFF Queer Screening: Edinburgh Takeover with Edinburgh Arts Festival & Rhubaba - SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:🔊 Listen to this Event Page\n        \n    \n**Please note this event is now sold out – we may be able to release more tickets nearer the screening. Edinburgh Arts Festival are operating a waiting list for sold out events – please contact elle@edinburghartfestival.com to be added to this!** \n  \nSQIFF are very excited to announce our collaboration with Rhubaba for the Edinburgh Art Festival. The evening will consist of a screening of short films\, a panel discussion with Scottish QTIPOC filmmakers and food. The event will take place on the 18th March 2025 in the French Institute\, Edinburgh. \nAll of the short films in the screening are taken from the SQIFF 2024 programme and with this we aim to bring a bit of the queer magic we experienced in Glasgow to Edinburgh. The selected films include works from our Scottish Shorts\, Sci-Fi Meets Reality\, Queer Asia\, ★\,。·::·ﾟ☆ “The Real Internet Is Inside You” ·ﾟ✧*:·ﾟ✧ and Drag & Performance Through Censorship events. The selection highlights a range of techniques and genres in queer filmmaking including digital animation\, text-based film\, collage and live-action. It also explores a diverse range of topics such as young trans girlhood\, intimate friendships between men of colour\, medical drag-satire and more. \nAll of the selected films are either directed by and/or have a central focus on QTIPOC. This event aims to spotlight and celebrate queer people of colour in film. We will explore filmmaking techniques\, community initiatives and future hopes for people of colour in queer film with a panel discussion after the screenings. And after that\, we will end by chatting over food and drink provided by the festival. \nCurated by Nat Lall. \nTickets are FREE. To book\, click here and you’ll be redirected to the Edinburgh Arts Festival website. \n  \nFilms in this programme include: \nA Float\, Dir. Isabel Barfod\, 2023\, United Kingdom\, 3 min \n\nA Float explores subtle modes of refusal through the lens of a Black Queer swimmer in a hostile environment. Set in a Victorian era public swimming pool\, A Float follows our protagonist as they access alternate realities\, speculated futures and enact small acts of revenge. \n\n\nContent Notes: Depiction of racism. \n\n\nAccess Notes: Contains flashing imagery. \n\n\n  \n\nDr. XYZ: A Medical Drag Transthology\, Dir. El Jones\, 2023\, United Kingdom\, 14 min \n\nDr. XYZ is a community-made trans+ healthcare training film and ethnofiction. It is an exercise in queering the public information film genre\, shot in 16mm. The film weaves ethnographic healthcare accounts from Birmingham’s trans+ community with moments of drag-satire re-enactment to depict a collective vision of the UK’s healthcare system. \n\n\nContent notes: Discussion of suicidal ideation\, suicide attempt\, mental health issues\, medical neglect within NHS\, transphobia\, ableism\, racism\, passing culture\, self-medicating\, gender dysphoria\, medical waiting lists\, explicit language. Depiction of animated genitalia. \n\n\n  \n\nScrapped Fabric\, Dir.

Soham Kundu\, 2024\, United Kingdom\, 15 min \n\nTwo friends: one with a broken heart\, the other on the brink of marriage. Together they set out on a day’s journey that leads them to confront their past amidst shared grief and hopes for a brighter future. Centred around intimate friendships between men of colour\, Farewell presents evolving expressions of modern masculinity. \n\n\nContent notes: Depiction of cigarette use. \n\n\n  \n\nDiffused in Marginalised Orders\, Dir. Florence To\, 2024\, United Kingdom\, 3 min \n\nWords have a powerful role in shaping identity and transforming our lived experiences. The Scottish-born Hong Kong artist uses texts that ignite deep connections and solidarity. Their work confronts the dispossessions wrought by imperialism and challenges complicity in public amnesia about ongoing injustices\, redefining our relationship within social barriers and power struggles in public spaces. \n\n\nAccess notes: Flashing light and rapid visual effects. \n\n\n  \n\nBellydance Vogue\, Dir. Hadi Moussally\, 2020\, Lebanon\, 5 min \n\n“My birthday was on the 3rd of April 2020 during lockdown\, and for the first time\, I celebrated it all by myself.
