Delicate movements, seemingly light yet determined. Smoking at the window, walking along a country path, unwrapping a piece of candy. Margaret Tait films her mother and creates an abstract portrait, a vibrant and sensual series of film shots with loose formal connections and motifs. An ode to the beauty of the film material and its experienced protagonist. Margaret Tait, a defining figure in British avant-garde cinema, combined her passion for poetry with a unique visual language. After training in Rome, she returned to Scotland and was inspired by the landscape of the Orkney Islands. She often referred to her films as "film poems" because her aesthetic was closely linked to poetry.
