Margaret Tait’s Edinburgh Shorts
The work of an extraordinary poet and filmmaker who, from the mid-1950s to the early 1970s, maintained a film studio on Rose Street.
Tait's lyrical films capture the vibrancy of an important period in Scottish culture. In addition to Tait’s better-known films, such as Rose Street (1956) and Hugh MacDiarmid, a Portrait (1964), this programme features newly re-discovered work, including Palindrome (1964), a film starring Stella Cartwright, also known as 'The Muse of Rose Street'.
