SUMMARY:This Feeling Won&#8217\\;t Leave
DESCRIPTION:Listen to this Event Page\\n&nbsp\\;\\nWhat happens when a fe
 eling takes hold of the body and refuses to loosen its grip? \\nMoving b
 etween love\\, memory\\, erotic experimentation\\, body horror and public
  scrutiny\\, these films explore the ways queer people are desired\\, jud
 ged\\, transformed and misunderstood. A body changes beyond recognition. 
 A lover becomes inseparable from a place. A private experience is turned 
 into a public argument. \\nAcross the programme\\, bodies become places 
 where these feelings gather and leave their mark. Some characters surrend
 er to what they feel\\, while others fight to remain themselves against t
 he expectations placed upon them. Together\\, the films ask what remains 
 after an encounter\\, a transformation or a moment of exposure\\, and wha
 t it means when that feeling simply refuses to fade. \\nThe screening wi
 ll also feature a live poetry reading by Glasgow-based poet and performer
  Gray Crosbie\\, whose work explores queerness\\, intimacy and the body.\
