You Know Who

You Know Who follows Toni, a young Black woman in Glasgow, as an ordinary evening reveals a deeper truth she has learned to carry. The film blends elements of Black folklore with the everyday rhythms of living in the city. As Toni moves through her flat, she feels the weight of expectations, the interruptions, and the pressure to stay agreeable even when she wants to say no. The quiet hum of an old spiritual becomes a reminder of where she comes from and what she carries. Or does it.. The film explores otherness, silence, and the ways we learn to move through the world even when it feels like it is moving us instead.

How to Make Friends at the End of the World

Jane has been alone for 369 days. She talks to her cat, her stuffed animals, and stolen masterpieces on her wall. She’s perfected the art of making Velveeta mac and cheese and debating whether buying holy water on Amazon counts as sacrilege. Then Nell walks into her flat. Two women. One small Glasgow flat. The last survivors they’ve each seen in nearly a year. As Jane’s neurotic chatter collides with Nell’s meditative silence, they begin to build something neither expected: friendship. A darkly comic two-hander about what it means to be human when the world has ended. What do we hold onto? What do we let go? And how do you make friends when there’s nobody left to meet?

Emergence Festival 2026

Emergence is a festival of new work from the graduating artists of the MFA Acting/Directing Classical and Contemporary Text programme.

Emergence 2026 will include a range of provocative live performances and gripping short films presented across four days in January, returning to Glasgow’s iconic Centre for Contemporary Arts and surrounding venues.

These creative projects are the result of what can happen when artists are given a small budget and autonomy to respond to the provocation: what is the future of theatre and film?
