Made on Our Land
Curator & Producer
May 2016 - Oct 2016
Following on from the success of Made in My Toun, I received funding from the BFI's Britain on Film programme. With the theme of 'Rural', this eight-date tour of archive film invoked the spirit of Scotland’s strong rural cinemagoing traditions: touring to Scotland’s mobile cinema Screen Machine and community venues in the Film Mobile network.
Specially curated programmes explored the rural lives and landscapes of Scotland and the tour locations continuing the format of programme notes and a post-screening blether stimulating some fascinating audience discussions. The tour also featured new silent film commissions from performers including science writer Emily Dodds and renowned composer and pianist Jane Gardner. Tour locations reached:
Screen Machine, Brodick, ARRAN ★ Screen Machine, Liniclate, BENBECULA ★ Deeside Community Centre, ABOYNE ★ Screen Machine LOCHINVER ★ Screen Machine, Port Ellen, ISLAY ★ The Fullarton, CASTLE DOUGLAS ★ Eastgate Theatre, PEEBLES
