Andrew Black’s Margaret Tait Award commission, 'On Clogger Lane' (2023), will be showcased at Cove Burgh Hall as part of its UK tour. This compelling film explores the history of a depopulated valley on ancient land, delving into the stories of a submerged reservoir, a satellite surveillance station, and mysterious prehistoric carvings. Through conversations with various individuals and an improvisational score, 'On Clogger Lane' serves as an experimental documentary, navigating the intertwined themes of passivity and protest, public and private, and past and present. This commission, established in 2010, is delivered in partnership with Glasgow Film and supported by The National Lottery through Creative Scotland. Inspired by the renowned filmmaker and poet Margaret Tait, it provides a platform for experimental and innovative artists working with the moving image.
