SQIFF (Scottish Queer International Film Festival) is Scotland's only active dedicated LGBTQIA+ film festival. Created in 2014, with a series of one off screenings, the festival launched fully in 2015 and became an annual event. The festival arose in response to the amount of queer filmmaking activity in Glasgow, but quickly established an International programme featuring submissions from around the world. It seeks to provide a platform for LGBTQIA+ creativity, as well as challenging barriers to access. SQIFF's goal is to get people watching, talking about, and making more queer films. They want to screen movies that people might not otherwise get a chance to see and create inspiring and informative events across Scotland. Moreover, SQIFF want to support marginalised groups within the LGBTQIA+ community by providing a networking system for queer filmmakers, as well as filmmaking workshops for audiences wanting to start on the medium. They want to challenge inequalities and barriers to accessing the arts.
