Comments and Reviews


Magic Marmalade 23rd Jun 2016		At first glance I wondered if it was the more recent Chinese film.



Dr Doom SUBS 23rd Jun 2016		This film seems to be hopelessly obscure. Only our second Scottish Gaelic Language entry which according to IMDb was only screened in cinemas in East Germany 7 years after it's 1982 completion. The premise sounds interesting. Medieval fable of sorcery and witchcraft in a remote corner of the Scottish highlands. Does anyone remember this film? Channel 4 part financed it so perhaps it was shown on that TV channel in the 80s. Or perhaps it is lost waiting to be rediscovered by the BFI........ EDIT: One more bit of information from Wikipedia After two years' preparation he directed Hero (82 minutes, 16 mm Eastmancolor) for Film Four in ancient Gaelic with actors drawn from a Glasgow youth gang. Hero was an official entry at the Venice Film Festival.
