To celebrate the launch of Sarah Neely’s new book, Between Categories: The Films of Margaret Tait. Portraits, Poetry, Sound and Place, we present an afternoon of poetry readings, films and discussion exploring the work of Margaret Tait: filmmaker, photographer, poet, painter, essayist and short story writer, one of the UK’s most unique and remarkable filmmakers.
She was the first female filmmaker to produce a feature-length film in Scotland with her film, Blue Black Permanent (1992), and although for most of her career Tait remained focused on the goal of making a feature-length film, her most notable and groundbreaking work was arguably as a producer of short films. The originality of the work, and its refusal to accept perceived barriers of genre, media and form, continues to inspire new generations of filmmakers. Sarah Neely will be in discussion with Sophie Mayer.
