Celtic Connections presents: Kim Carnie Out Loud + Q&A

Followed by a Q&A with Kim Carnie. From the age of 16, Scottish singer and musician Kim Carnie spent six years in a secret same-sex relationship. In the multi award-winning film, Kim Carnie Out Loud, Kim meets other members of the LGBTQ+ community from around the world, who also hid their sexuality for a variety of reasons, from being born in a country where being gay is illegal to feeling pressure from their family or community. She also meets LGBTQ+ activists, fighting each day to make the world a better place. Kim reflects on the internal homophobia that she felt for a long time but which has now been replaced by a deep sense of pride in her sexuality and in being in the LGBTQ+ community. Inspired by the people that she meets and some of the stories that she hears, Kim writes songs, providing a powerful conclusion to the film, as she plays the songs publicly for the first time to family, friends and some of the incredible people who appear in the film. Kim Carnie Out Loud is both an exploration of the challenges faced by people because of their sexuality and a joyous celebration of being gay. ----- Year of Celebration Film - Donate £50 at checkout 2024 marks 85 years since our cinema (originally the Cosmo) was built, 50 years since GFT was founded and the 20th edition of Glasgow Film Festival.
