When is a boat not a boat? A: When it's a story. In A Boat Retold, artist Ian Stephen, writer Robert Macfarlane and others tell stories in and around the restored Orkney boat Broad Bay, as it sets off for the Shiant Islands. The boat and its history become the narrative focus for movements in time over three generations, spinning tales of fishing, boat-building and family history - a ballad of Hebridean island traditions, experiences and arts.

In 1960s London, Bill Douglas and Charlie Chaplin nearly meet…

In Seán Martin's "Koan IV", an opening provocation suggests that the things we see continually hide the things we'd like to see. What we see after this is mist in a Scottish landscape. Martin's patient, enigmatic film contemplates a popular image of romance and intrigue attributed to a rural identity, alluding to what is hidden, what is real and what does not exist.

Seán Martin’s "Koan V" meditates on reeds filmed in close-up on the Scottish isle of Jura. With an accompanying quotation from Rebecca Solnit, an intersecting soundscape of subways, birds, folk musicians and chatter recorded in Prague suggests new possibilities between disparate sounds and images.
