Red Road
This end-of-year cycle is an opportunity to bring together some of the finest 35mm prints in our collections.
The criteria that led to this selection:
a) the rarity of the chosen movie on film
b) the effect of contrast (period, style, culture) between one film and the other
c) the quality of conservation of the print
Stephanie Creaghan's The Dailies is an ingenious series of very short works in which video art and cinema overlap. Nineteen titles from this series are featured in our December program as a dreamy and intimate tribute to the cinephile experience.
Stephanie Creaghan makes work about how violence inserts itself into communication, combining different pathways (like audio and video) to uncover these latent forms of manipulation to bring to light the undiscussed/repressed.
Jackie works as a CCTV operator in Glasgow. Each day she watches over a small part of the world, protecting the people living their lives under her watchful gaze. One day a man appears on her monitor, a man she thought she would never see again, a man she never wanted to see again. Now she has no choice, she is compelled to confront him, despite the fact that she cannot predict where her actions will lead her.
