February
2018
6.15–7.15pm
Glasgow Film Theatre
Sarah Forrest’s research for her new film April (2018) began on the Isle of Lewis, where she spent time looking at the stories, landscapes and histories associated with ‘second sight’, a prophetic phenomenon that is particular to the highlands and islands of Scotland. Taking an explorative approach to this subject matter, her new film reflects on the complex relationship between storytelling and vision, perception and belief.
The venue has step free access to all floors.
Part of Glasgow Film Festival 2018.
