LEAP Sports Scotland: Pride House Scotland - Film Weekender- Orlando with Jules Scheele

Pride House is a temporary pop-up space which will exist during the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Virginia Woolf’s classic novel Orlando tells the story of a poet adrift in time; he starts out his life as a nobleman in Queen Elizabeth I’s court, and her story concludes as a thirty-six year-old woman in the present day.

Join us for an Orlando double bill, with a screening of Sally Potter’s 1992 film - starring Tilda Swinton as the titular androgynous lead - followed by a Q&A with Jules Scheele about his new graphic novel adaptation of the story. 

Jules Scheele is a freelance illustrator and comics artist based in Glasgow, Scotland, working in graphic storytelling across academic and third sector projects. His personal work is influenced by his interests in queer media, pop culture, grassroots politics and DIY zine culture. He is the co-creator (with Dr. Meg-John Barker) of the non-fiction graphic novels Queer: A Graphic History, Gender: A Graphic Guide, and Sexuality: A Graphic Guide.
