The film festival is celebrating its fifth birthday in style

The Scottish Queer International Film Festival (SQIFF) has announced its full programme, as it celebrates its fifth birthday this year.

SQIFF’s festival coordinator, Helen Wright, said: "We are really happy to be celebrating the 5th birthday of SQIFF! This year, we are thinking about how we can focus on LGBTQIA+ communities coming together and working together to tackle oppression whilst also foregrounding the voices that most need to be heard right now.”

SQIFF 2019 will run from Wednesday 2 to Sunday 6 October in accessible venues across Glasgow. Included in the festival's programme of events is a big screen showing of Janelle Monae’s album, Dirty Computer.

Other highlights include the Latinx Legends strand, which foregrounds individuals central to Latin American queer art and activism in a series of exceptional documentaries; a series of shorts covering a range of topics; and a special screening of Before Stonewall, in association with Stonewall Scotland, marking 50 years since the Stonewall Riots.

Tickets to all events are priced on a pay-what-you-can sliding scale of £0-£8 based on individual circumstances.
