Winters’ Tales : Films for the Season
The weather outside may be frightful, but the National Library of Scotland at Kelvin Hall have put together an evening of winter-themed film, words, and music that promises to be truly delightful!
About Winters’ Tales : Films for the Season
'Winters' Tales: Films for the Season' is a specially curated selection of silent films from the National Library's Moving Image Archive. These films depict aspects of winter, from snowy weather and winter sports to Christmas lights and presents from Santa. This event showcases the breadth and depth of the Moving Image Archive collection. It includes films from as far back as the 1930s and from locations throughout Scotland.
The films will be accompanied by live piano music by Esther Hamilton-Keith and winter-themed poetry and prose selected and performed by Susi Briggs, currently Scots Scriever at the National Library of Scotland.
So, if you want to coorie in and reminisce about winters past, then this special seasonal screening promises to get you in the festive spirit.
