Join us for a screening of two ‘folk / horror’ short films followed by a Q&A session with Herring Girls writer/director Rekha Garton.
A’ Bhean Eudach (The Jealous Sister)
Inspired by one of the oldest of songs in the Gaelic tradition, and set in an indeterminate time, this nearly wordless film is a symbolist tale of two sisters and a man, and the brutal callousness of desire.
The Herring Girls
It is the story of a young girl abandoned, during a fishing season, to grow up on the desolate Norfolk coast. The Herring Girls, a group of women who travelled and worked alongside fishermen following the herring from Scotland to Norfolk, witness her spiritual and supernatural awakening.
The screenings will take place in a new venue for us – GMACfilm at 103 Trongate.
6.30pm: Join us for a Gaelic learners conversation group before the film screening.
7.00pm: First, in partnership with the annual FilmG competition, we’ll be screening some of their award-winning short films.

A’ Bhean Eudach (The Jealous Sister)
Air a bhrosnachadh le aon de na h-òrain as aosta ann an traidisean na Gàidhlig, agus stèidhichte ann an àm neo-dhearbhte, tha am film seo de bheagan fhacail na sgeul shamhlachail mu dhà phiuthar agus fear, agus an-iochdmhorachd bhrùideil ana-mhiann.
Clann-nighean an Sgadain
Sgeulachd nighinn òig air a trèigsinn rè seusan iasgaich gus fàs suas air costa fàsail Norfolk. Tha Clann-nighean an Sgadain, buidheann bhoireannach a shiubhail agus a bha ag obair ri taobh iasgairean a bha a’ leantainn an sgadain bho Alba gu Norfolk, ag amharc air a dùsgadh spioradail agus os-nàdarra.
