Glasgow Film Festival Tae Think Again: Re-thinking Identity in Contemporary Scotland

A response to the upcoming referendum on Scottish independence, this symposium curated by artist Rachel Maclean intends to delve deeper than a simple yes/no debate and look at the broader social, cultural and historical background to contemporary Scottish national identity. The event will include
 a screening of the artist’s recent work The Lion and the Unicorn, which playfully re-imagines Jeremy Paxman and Alex Salmond as the film’s titular heraldic characters.

Rachel won the Festival’s 2013 Margaret Tait Award, and her resulting film A Whole New World is screening on Mon 24 February, 9.30pm.

Crossing the Line 1h45m approx, N/C 12+, Tae Think Again was originally developed as a symposium co-commissioned by Edinburgh Art Festival and Edinburgh Printmakers,
