Coping, Managing, Healing

This is a screening of films that explore health without a curative focus. The focus is on managing pain, navigating change and utilising support systems. SQIFF prides itself on its commitment to making film accessible through reasonable adjustments, ongoing conversations and a keen interest to keep our activism intersectional. Expect to hear insights from chronically sick queers, helpline volunteers, gender affirmative surgery patients, supportive lovers and community pioneers.

Following this screening, Nat Lall is hosting a panel discussion with the director of the film There’s Not Much We Can Do, Erica Monde, and NHS doctor, Chenai Mautsi.

Curated by Nat Lall.
