Queer East Festival: Floating in Ecosystems

Bringing together the work of queer East and Southeast Asian artists based in Scotland, FLOATING IN ECOSYSTEMS showcases a bold exploration of identity, transformation, and community in a programme curated by Indigo Korres of the Scottish Queer International Film Festival (SQIFF) The films in this programme experiment with dynamic visual narratives that challenge cultural and bodily boundaries, blurring the lines between reality and fiction, self and other. From fictional work to artist moving image, these films offer a range of experiences where body and identity intersect with culture and memory. Florence To will introduce this event by presenting an expansive portrait of queer East and Southeast Asian filmmaking in Scotland today. Strangers Dir.
