PAPER PORTRAITS
Gerda Stevenson, Scotland, 2025, 40 mins
Event duration: 1 hr, 40 mins

A playful new documentary from Scottish filmmaker and writer Gerda Stevenson, PAPER PORTAITS celebrates the history and working people of Penicuik’s paper mills. Featuring a bustling cast of local community members, and filmed with a keen sense of cinematic poetry, PAPER PORTRAITS is a powerful celebration of community, past and present.

The film will be introduced with a special mini-concert from musicians with ties to the film, including Penicuik-based musicians Mary and Ailsa McInroy, and followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers.
