The Scottish Queer International Film Festival (SQIIFF) returns this month in a new format with a special programme of films by or about trans people. Between 12 May and 24 June it will tour the country, visiting Glasgow, Stirling, Hawick, Dundee and Stornoway.
The line-up includes documentaries Sediments and Framing Agnes, both of which have received high praise at other festivals around the world, alongside a selection of short films focused on trans and non-binary experiences around raising, forming and nurturing families. Accompanying the films will be a conversation at each venue with local trans and non-binary people. Panellists include Highland Pride, Queer Youth Art Collective and Small Trans Library.
"The Trans-Generational Tour is a project we created as we want to celebrate trans lives, trans histories and intergenerational trans communities," said Programme Coordinator Indigo Korres. "It's been beautiful to work with my community throughout the process of developing this project and I'm so excited to tour soon."
"We are excited to see SQIFF expand its work outside of the central belt and continue to offer accessible events – welcoming D/deaf and visually impaired people and offering pay-what-you-can tickets," said Screen Scotland's Audience Development Officer Katharine Simpson.
