The Second Sight Film Screening
Join the team at Provan Hall on Friday 24th October for their first film screening event when they will be showing Alison McApine's powerful documentary Second Sight.
About The Second Sight Film Screening
We are excited to be running our first film screening event at Provan Hall, a late medieval mansion house in Easterhouse with a vibrant history beginning in the 1470s.
Imagine a cinematic nonfiction ghost story, a mystery and an evocative personal tale.
Handsome and gallant, with a ready smile, eighty-year-old Donald Angus MacLean invites us to discover the truth about ghosts on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. A man of the church and a lover of women, he takes us on a journey full of spectres, ghost cars, premonitions and the “second sight”. The film is also a personal story of his daily rituals and his poetic musings on life and death which reveal his love for his late wife, Nina.
Rich in humour, Second Sight features the last generation of a Scottish Gaelic oral tradition who grew up without TV and electricity, extraordinary characters who are no longer with us. Haunting landscapes and soundscapes as pure as nature reveal a magic, real isle full of spine-tingling ghost stories and unforgettable islanders.
The film will be introduced by a short talk about the history of Second Sight Folklore in Scotland, and hot chocolate and snacks will be provided.
Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
