A special programme presenting a selection of Margaret Tait's evocative films, all screened in their original 16mm format.

The collection showcases her distinctive blend of visual poetry and documentary realism, inviting viewers to experience the delicate interplay of light, colour, and rhythm that defines her work.

From the tranquil beauty of "Garden Pieces" to the lyrical interpretation of Gerard Manley Hopkins' poem in "The Leaden Echo and the Golden Echo," each film captures Tait's unique vision and her ability to find the extraordinary in the everyday. This retrospective offers a rare opportunity to immerse oneself in the cinematic world of one of Scotland's most visionary filmmakers.

Introduced by Sarah Neely.
