We’re returning for our 11th year of queer film, community and fun to Glasgow Film Theatre from 19 – 24 October 2026. We can’t wait to see you all!
SQIFF 2026 presents a euphoric programme, with a thread of tenderness throughout, celebrating LGBTQIA+ filmmakers and stories. This year, we’re embracing experimentation, playing with expectations, and creating new mythologies. We’ll bring you all on a journey into the fantastical, with audacious performances and innovative filmmaking.

Last weekend, we wrapped our annual queer filmmaking course, SATURATE, a comprehensive and hands-on education of the independent filmmaking process from beginning to end, teaching creative directing skills within wider LGBTQIA+ film history, screenings, and readings. All 9 films made by our fabulous cohort of 30 filmmakers will premiere in a specially curated screening at SQIFF 2026.
Keep your eyes out for the full programme for SQIFF 2026, coming at the start September.
Tickets will be available via: https://www.glasgowfilm.org/ and https://ww.sqiff.org/
Big love,
Team SQIFF x
