Continuing its legacy as Scotland's biggest and longest-running queer film festival, SQIFF brings together the best of independent LGBTQ+ filmmaking from across the globe. With a line-up of 19 curated programmes screening over 90 short films, four feature films, world premieres, a special Halloween horror event, as well as a queer craft fair, the Best Scottish Short award competition, industry events and networking for filmmakers, panels, performances, and more. This year’s festival will take place across screens and venues in Glasgow’s Merchant City, including The Social Hub, GMAC, Listen Gallery, and The Boardwalk, with a late-night party at the iconic Art School.

All SQIFF screenings and events continue to offer pay-what-you-can tickets, starting from free. SQIFF are also launching a fundraising campaign for year-round costs, inviting people to donate “a tenner for ten” to celebrate a decade of SQIFF.
