Using film as a way to come together, have conversations and strengthen community.
FILM SCREENING + LIVE PODCAST EVENT: ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN HERE
Alchemy Film & Arts presents a one-off, double-bill screening of The Making of Pinocchio (2021), Glasgow-based artists and lovers Rosana Cade and Ivor MacAskill‘s autobiographical exploration of Ivor’s gender transition, preceded by No Words (2021), a short film created as part of Alchemy’s Film Town programme by Borders-based young people to articulate the pluralities of queer existence.
Both films utilise an experimental approach to convey deeply personal messages around identity and society’s perceptions of queer bodies. Audiences are invited to attend a live podcast recording after the screening, at which the filmmakers will be present to discuss the joys, challenges and complexities of trans cinema.
