Sunday May 19th | 2-4:30pm | Tickets from £2 - pay what you can | 18+
This event will focus on queer filmmaking and representation, with an emphasis on how queer and trans bodies are negotiated within film and television.

This workshop will ask participants to think through visual representations of queer bodies onscreen, discussing examples from mainstream Hollywood cinema to independent queer film.
This will be followed by a screening of Nicole O’Reilly’s film Phreaking Gender (2023), which explores DIY-HRT regimens in Glasgow, and a Q&A with the director.

SCREENED OUT: Joyland Film Screening
Thursday May 23rd | 6:30-9pm | Tickets from £2 - pay what you can | 15+
Joyland is a 2022 Pakistani drama film written, directed, and co-edited by visionary filmmaker Saim Sadiq. It is a complex yet soothing tale that beautifully weaves together the lives of Haider, Mumtaz, and Biba—three individuals who refuse to conform to patriarchal norms denying their right to self-actualization. Instead, through their unique ways of resistance, they choose to take autonomy over their desires into their own hands. Against a backdrop of love, longing, desires, and self-discovery, Joyland delves into the complexities of sexuality and enforced gender roles, followed by the inevitable resistance that emerges out of oppression.
SCREENED OUT: And Then We Danced Film Screening
Thursday May 30th | 6:30-9pm | Tickets from £2 - pay what you can | 15+
Merba has been training since a young age at the National Georgian Ensemble with his dance partner Mary. His world is suddenly turned upside down when the charistmatic and carefree Irakli arrives and becomes both his strongest rival and desire. In this conservative setting, Merab finds himself having to break free and risk it all.

STIRLING COMMUNITY RADIO LAUNCH EVENT
February 14, 2024, 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM Creative Stirling 44 King St, Stirling FK8 1AY
As a partner of Stirling Community Media (SCM), Stirling’s charity developing opportunities in the creative media sector, SVE would like to invite you to a Valentine’s Launch Party from 1 to 2 pm on Wednesday 14 February at the First Floor Studios in 44 King Street
From St Valentine’s Day, the radio station will be branded Stirling Community Radio. It will do what the name suggests: focus radio broadcasting on the many communities, both place-based and communities of interest, in the Stirling area.
The re-launch comes as the Community and Media Matters project - a partnership between Creative Stirling and Stirling Community Media - nears its first anniversary and the successful engagement with over hundreds of young people in radio broadcasting. The Young Start initiative, funded by the National Lottery Community Fund, offers a progressive ladder of media training opportunities over three levels: Inspire, Connect and Support. To date, over 300 young people aged between 12 and 24 years, from schools and community organisations in Stirlingshire have accessed one or more of the project’s learning.
We hope that this Valentine’s Day you can join the launch of "I ❤️ Stirling Community Radio" and find out more about how they plan to develop the station.
