Join EAF and Bona Varda on Sunday 7 June for a two-part screening event sharing local Scottish queer histories and acts of community resilience. 

Fairy Heights is a powerful short documentary exploring the Grassmarket housing block in Edinburgh, where queer residents built a vital network of care during the AIDS crisis. Through interviews with former residents, the film brings to life a community defined by solidarity and chosen family. Presented in partnership with Lavender Menace.

Alasdair is an intimate documentary, offering a glimpse into the life of Alasdair, Gaelic broadcaster, translator and writer. Set against the striking landscape of the Isle of Skye, the short film follows Alasdair on a deeply moving 10-day journey to summit to Sgùrr Alasdair, the highest peak in the Inner Hebrides, reflecting with honesty and depth on the realities of living with AIDS. This special screening is presented in collaboration with Executive Producer Sam Maynard and journalist Duncan Campbell, appearing with Alasdair in the film. 

EAF will be selling a limited run of screen printed ‘Support Your Local Queer Archive’ t-shirts, raising money for Lavender Menace Queer Books Archive’s ongoing Save Lavender Menace fundraiser.
