Exhibition closing event and film, 13th February

To mark the closing of An Cnàimh-Deoghail / The Suckling Bone, an exhibition by Alicia Matthews, we warmly invite you to join us for a final evening together.

Please come along to Grinneabhat on Friday 13th February at 6pm for a relaxed closing event with drinks, popcorn, and a screening of Margaret Tait’s 1992 feature film Blue Black Permanent.

Blue Black Permanent by Margaret Tait

This haunting and magical film moves between Edinburgh and Orkney as it tells of a woman's attempts to come to terms with her mother's death through her childhood memories. Filled with flashbacks and dream sequences, it's also a film about islander's relationships with the ever-present sea.

Margaret Tait's only feature-length film, from her own screenplay, was produced by the BFI in 1992 and was the first Scottish feature film directed by a woman.
