Margaret Tait: Film Poet
A GWL Documentary Première
Saturday 4th August, 4.30pm

Margaret Tait died April 16th 1999, aged 80. She was an intensely private person with a unique vision, firmly rooted in her native Orkney.

Glasgow Women’s Library, working with filmmakers Marissa Keating and Michael Jones, went on a journey to document the story of this elusive filmmaker and poet through her friends, family, and peers. Join us for the premiere of that work.

A short trailer of the documentary was screened at Edinburgh International Film Festival in June 2012, you can watch the trailer below.
