SQIFF Discussion Sad Girl Cinema
Sad Girl Cinema is an ongoing documentary film project exploring mental health narratives in screen culture created by queer writers Claire Biddles and Bethany Rose Lamont and designed by Maggie Webster. Sorted into three themes: therapy, the mental health ward, and tortured geniuses and tragic muses, SGC navigates a whole bunch of pop cultural clichés in film, television, and music videos. For SQIFF, SGC presents a selection of clips exploring these themes through a queer lens, plus a first look at the documentary and a panel discussion on the intersection of mental health and LGBTQ+ identity on screen.
In partnership with LGBT Health and Wellbeing.
Content note: discussion and depiction of mental health issues and therapy.
Film clips will be screened with English language subtitles, with BSL interpretation for the post-screening discussion.
