Scottish Queer International Film Festival 2019

SQIFF returns for its fifth birthday with films, talks, workshops, parties, and more showcasing the best of LGBTQIA+ art and communities.

The 2019 Festival has a theme of collectivity, thinking about how queer people can come together across divides to stand in solidarity with each other while celebrating the scope and nuances of our identities and experiences.
