2014 is the year of Scotland: the Commonwealth Games; the Referendum; Homecoming... All eyes have turned to this land of history and culture, stories and tradition. This is an opportunity for Scots from all backgrounds to showcase that they are proud to live in Scotland, land of welcome.
This is the launch event of GRAMNet's 2014 - 2015 film series. To kick the series off, we have two films.
The first is Multicultural Homecoming - a short documentary directed by Pieter van der Houwen, which shares an illustration beyond the clichés and makes us discover and celebrate the heart of Scotland as a multicultural tapestry, a meshing of dances, music, sport and food. It gives the opportunity to reflect on notions such as identity and home where nationality is not a question of borders but is a question of where the heart is.
The second film is Future Memory in Red Road - a film which provides an overview of the Future Memory in Red Road project that took place in early 2013, leading to a unique public event in May 2013 at the Red Road flats, North Glasgow. The project was a collaboration that involved artists, academics, ex-residents of the flats and primary school, FE and University students in a series of creative workshops exploring the history of the Red Road Flats and the bond between memory, home and place.
