Entry: The IGSF

The Internal Guard Security Force. IGSF. Or Iggies to those who may not appreciate the work they do. The IGSF Supplants the role of a police force as you may find in other countries. Armed, well-funded, and trained to keep peace (crush dissent). While not as funded as the military itself, they have access to similar levels of equipment. Machine guns, explosives, helicopters, tanks, armoured vehicles. However they must source their equipment from independant manufactures or the army gets mad. And! They cannot have airships beyond troop transports because the Admiralty gets mad. Worried the Iggies will get too big for their boots. As if they aren't already.

Leadership is borrowed from the military, with IGSF provincial leaders being in active service. Though most of them see the IGSF as beneath them. Unprofessional. They'd rather command real™ soldiers than this peacekeeping lot. At least the circus is being ran by the biggest clowns.

This whole government can kiss my ass. When their 'Malosir' scrapes this file off my computer it inevitably hacks into; the meta data is going to have some REAL fun.

Mark Gatiss’ ‘Bookish,’ ‘Estranei’ to World Premiere at Italian Global Series Festival

“Bookish” from “Sherlock’s” Mark Gatiss and “Estranei” will world premiere at the inaugural edition of the Italian Global Series Festival.

Crime drama “Bookish” from “Sherlock’s” Mark Gatiss and “Estranei,” directed by Cosimo Alemà, will world premiere at the inaugural edition of the Italian Global Series Festival. IGSF, headed by artistic director Marco Spagnoli, will run June 21-28 in Rimini and Riccione, Italy.

Mark Gatiss comments: “I’m thrilled to have been invited to the inaugural Italian Global Series Festival. To return to Rimini where I had a holiday in 1980 and to be able to unveil Bookish to a brand-new audience as well as host a TV-making masterclass is an absolute treat!”

Gatiss is “Bookish’s” executive producer, creator and lead actor. The six-episode limited series, which is set in London in 1946, is produced by Eagle Eye Drama for UKTV and PBS, in association with Happy Duck Films and supported by the Belgian Tax Shelter. Beta Film holds worldwide distribution rights on all seasons, while PBS Distribution holds the North American rights.

The show centers on a bookshop in London’s Archangel Lane, named after its eccentric but whipsmart owner, Book (Gatiss). A former military spy turned maverick detective, Book relishes helping the police solve their most complex murder cases.

He lives happily with his sassy, exuberant wife, Trottie (Polly Walker), who owns the wallpaper shop next door. Friends from childhood, they share a deep bond of love and respect for each other, but theirs is a “lavender marriage” of mutual convenience. For Book is a gay man at a time when homosexuality is illegal.

Blissfully happy at home, Book nevertheless carries with him a sadness, as the love of his life was betrayed and died in the war.

When Jack (Conner Finch), a young man with a past as an ex-convict, is sent to work at the bookshop, Book and Trottie welcome him into the family fold with open arms. But it’s not long before Jack starts to suspect that his appointment was anything but random. Could their past be inextricably linked?

Attending the IGSF for the “Bookish” world premiere on June 24, Gatiss will also present a television screenwriting masterclass.

Making Scenes: Woubi Cheri (1998) with Ellise Barbara

WHEN: Tuesday, March 13 @ 7:30 pm WHERE: Arts W 215, McGill University (accessible)

The first film in the "Making Scenes" screening series, part of The Arts of Trans, Gender Diverse and Two-Spirit Lives series at the Institute for Gender, Sexuality and Feminist Studies, McGill is “Woubi Cheri,” hosted and with a post-film discussion by Ellise Barbara. This 1998 documentary explores perspectives on gender variance and diversity outside of the westernized radical norm. As California Newsreel describes this: "Woubi Chéri is the first film to give African homosexuals a chance to describe their world in their own words. Often funny, sometimes ribald, but always real, this documentary introduces us to gender pioneers demanding their right to construct a distinct African homosexuality."

Ellise Barbara is a Montreal-based artist and singer. Rising from artist-run spaces at the turn of the current decade, their recent efforts have been centered around transgender community organizing. With a group called the Black Space and a lineup made of musicians of Sub-Saharan descent, Ellise Barbara aims to recenter contemporary blackness via the rejection of racialized tropes. The Black Space is working on a sci-fi multumedia concert to be shown at the MAI in April this year. This event is open to the public and is a PWYC fundraiser for Taking What We Need. Presented by IGSF, the Moving Image Research Lab, Mediaqueer and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
