Margaret Tait - filmmaker, photographer, poet, painter, essayist
and short story writer - is one of the UK's most unique and
remarkable filmmakers. She was the first female filmmaker to create
a feature-length film in Scotland (Blue Black Permanent, 1992).
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 her work, and its refusal to accept perceived
barriers of genre, media and form, continues to inspire new
generations of filmmakers. This book aims to address the lack of
sustained attention given to Tait's large body of work, offering a
contextualisation of Tait's films within a general consideration of
Scottish cinema and artists' moving image. Furthermore, the book's
grounding in detailed archival research offers new insights into
Scotland (and Britain) in the twentieth century, relating to a
diverse range of subjects and key figures, such as John Grierson,
Forsyth Hardy, Hugh MacDiarmid, Lindsay Anderson and Michael
Powell.
