BILL DOUGLAS: RARE GLIMPSES

Including screenings of:
Rousdon, Fever, Woman in the Park, Chekhov, Still Life, The Party (Bill Douglas and Peter Jewell, various)
Ring of Truth (Richard Downes, Scotland, 1996)

One of the most important figures within Scottish cinema, who yet only made a small handle of films, Bill Douglas remains something of an enigma.

Taking us deeper into Douglas’ experiments with cinema, this screening will present a specially-curated selection of the early, rarely-seen silent films made by Douglas and Peter Jewell (presented here with a new live score), alongside a chance to see the newly-digitized Ring of Truth, written by Bill Douglas and produced by students at Strathclyde University. At once playful, strange and disquieting, this special event will explore new dimensions to one of Scotland’s most important artists.

The screening will feature a new, live score from Edinburgh-based musicians Dalhous.
