We are delighted to share that the Department of Film Studies and the Centre for Screen Cultures is collaborating with LUX Scotland and The Flaherty Seminar this semester and is a co-organiser of the “Flaherty Film Gatherings” in Glasgow, Dundee and St Andrews. We hope you can join us for one or more of the events!
This Autumn LUX Scotland will host three events as part of the 70th annual Flaherty Seminar in partnership with The Hunterian (Tuesday 7 October), Cooper Gallery (Thursday 13 November) and the Centre for Screen Cultures at the University of St Andrews (Saturday 6 December). Expanding on the Flaherty Seminar’s 70th edition ‘ONWARD!’ held in New York City in June 2025, this series of Gatherings will present and bridge connections from films selected from the Seminar screenings which were programmed by Janaína Oliveira, Carlos Gutiérrez, and Richard Herskowitz, alongside programming partners Christopher Harris, Zaina Bseiso, and Louis Massiah. As unique and discursive events, each Gathering will offer the opportunity for the audience to engage in discussion as we explore the history and current movements in non-fiction filmmaking.
This programme has been devised to coincide with Margaret Salmon’s exhibition ‘Assembly’ at the Hunterian Art Gallery, University of Glasgow, and with Grace Ndiritu’s exhibition ‘Compassionate Rebels in Action’ (part of The Ignorant Art School) at Cooper Gallery, Dundee.
Tickets for all three events are free and available to book using the booking links here: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/lux-scotland
