Taking us from the split rock at Clachtoll to a whaling station in South Georgia, this special event celebrates some of the rarely-seen films of BBC ALBA’s Geur Ghearr shorts programme. Based on one of the oldest songs in Gaelic tradition, a jealous sister enacts a devious plan in A Bhean Eudach, whilst the past haunts the present for a tense group of whalers in Roimh Ghaoth a' Gheamhraidh; and, finally, a dark tale of love and revenge ends with tragic consequences in Keino, written by the late Gaelic polymath Norman Maclean.

The films will be introduced by a bilingual storytelling session from Edinburgh-based Gaelic storyteller Martin McIntyre.
