There is a freedom that comes with gaming; an ability to exist in another realm without necessarily leaving the real world. For some the realm of a game exists as an alternate reality and for others it synthesises with the physical world. For queer and trans gamers, it can function as a space to trial and error other bodies. It can be a space to transition. And with that comes various highs and lows. From moments of ecstasy to steep learning curves to some uh…‘reality checks.’

GA(Y)MERS showcases a series of shorts on gender and gaming, including Jamie Jankowic’s ‘a woman on the internet’. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Jankowics and Flatness Curator Shama Khanna on the films and the importance of virtual queer spaces.

Curated by Nat Lall. This short film programme will also be available to rent online from SQIFF’s Vimeo on Demand channel 2 to 10 October.
