Art Screen, New Arts Documentary Film Festival for Glasgow, 10th-13th April 2014
The BBC announces details of a brand new arts documentary film festival for Glasgow
The BBC has today announced details of a brand new arts documentary festival. Taking place as part of the Glasgow International Festival, Art Screen will showcase some of the world’s best arts documentary films and include highlights from the BBC archive.
Art Screen will showcase a wealth of arts documentaries in two of Glasgow’s renowned art spaces, the Glasgow Film Theatre and Centre for Contemporary Arts from the 10th-13th April 2014. The diverse four-day programme will include screenings of documentaries on art forms including visual arts, architecture, music and photography alongside accompanying events and discussions. Kirsty Wark and Tim Marlow will chair interviews and participate in panel discussions offering conversational sessions across the four day festival.
The festival will include Arts in the Archive, a strand dedicated to the many hours of extraordinary arts footage in the BBC’s own archive. Arts in the Archive, screening at the CCA, will provide access to many hours of rarely seen footage, from throughout the BBC’s history.
The venture is a national partnership created by the BBC and delivered in collaboration with Glasgow International, British Council, frieze, LUX, Glasgow Film, CCA and BFI. It is supported by Creative Scotland.
Jonty Claypole, Head of Arts for BBC Productions said: “The BBC is delighted to launch Art Screen, a place for audiences, artists and film makers alike to be inspired by a selection of some of the best arts documentaries from around the world. This is a unique collaboration that brings together a range of creative organisations from across the UK to curate and produce the first Art Screen programme.”
With the full programme due to be revealed on 19th March 2014, organisers have today revealed a taster of what Art Screen will bring to the city. Highlights of the festival programme include two world premieres that will screen in Glasgow’s GFT.
Our Glasgow
One of the programme highlights, Our Glasgow, produced by frieze magazine co-editor Jennifer Higgie and part of their frieze Video strand, leads the celebrations of Glasgow as a unique hub of creativity. This screening will be followed by a discussion exploring the reasons for Glasgow’s extraordinary creative success.
Featuring a cross-section of local artists, writers and curators and exploring the evolution of Glasgow from industrial heartland to artistic centre; in Our Glasgow we visit studios, contemporary galleries and the famous Rennie Mackintosh designed Glasgow School of Art, a masterpiece of the Arts and Crafts Movement.
Facing Up to Mackintosh
And in the week the new Reid Building at The Glasgow School of Art is officially opened Art Screen will show the world premiere of the BBC documentary Facing Up to Mackintosh, which charts the ultimate architectural challenge – how to design a building to sit opposite a Mackintosh masterpiece. The screening will be introduced by the film’s director, GSA graduate and BBC Scotland Director, Louise Lockwood, and will be followed by a discussion which will explore the themes of the documentary.
Merging interviews with architects Steven Holl and Chris McVoy and footage of the design and build filmed over three years, Facing Up to Mackintosh also features the creative responses of four recent GSA Design graduates, and weaves their reactions into the body of the film. The Reid Building, designed in partnership with JM Architects of Glasgow, is Steven Holl Architects first ever building in the UK.
Janet Archer, CEO of Creative Scotland commented: “We are delighted to support these events in collaboration with the BBC, British Council, frieze, Glasgow International, LUX, BFI, Glasgow Film and CCA. It’s hugely exciting to be a part of this celebration.
“We are working to identify two key learning, collaboration and networking opportunities for the creative sector in Scotland to engage with the filmmaking and artistic talent present at Art Screen.”
Christine Bardsley, Programme Manager – Film, from British Council said: “Our business is cultural relations and we are excited to be a partner in Art Screen. Film is the seventh art and a wonderful medium through which to celebrate the richness of the artistic landscape at home and abroad.”
Allison Gardner, Head of Cinemas at Glasgow Film Theatre, said: “We’re delighted to be partnering with the BBC on this unique arts documentary celebration. GFT has been leading the way in specialised cinema since 1974. This year we are celebrating three anniversaries; 10 years of Glasgow Film Festival, 40 years of GFT and 75 years of a cinema on our Rose Street site. We continue to expand and diversify for audiences and Art Screen is a fantastic way of bringing new arts documentaries to our audience.”
Ainslie Roddick from CCA Glasgow, said: “The curators of Art Screen have put together a brilliant programme of events, allowing us the chance to watch and discuss some of the most remarkable artist documentaries and revisit pivotal moments in visual culture. As well as talks and screenings, CCA and Saramago Cafe Bar will be hosting special guest DJs each night in the cafe, and visuals from Glasgow artist Torsten Lauschmann. It’s a great opportunity to uncover some provocative footage and a great addition to the city’s arts programme.”
Sarah McCrory, Director of Glasgow International said: “Art Screen is a unique and exciting partnership project and is a fantastic addition to 2014’s Glasgow International programme. Art Screen will allow artists and their work to be seen from an alternative perspective, through the medium of the arts documentary, and will contribute to Glasgow’s renown as a place of great creative endeavour.”
Jennifer Higgie, Co-Editor, frieze said: “frieze magazine has been exploring the medium of video for over a year with a variety of formats and approaches. For Art Screen we have developed on an earlier strand of city reports from around the world and produced a documentary exploring the past and present of the lively Glasgow art scene. We are honoured to be included in Art Screen, and applaud this great and much-needed initiative to highlight contemporary documentaries focusing on the wealth of art and design produced in the UK.”
Benjamin Cook, Director of LUX said: “LUX is very excited to be partnering on Art Screen and showcasing our Artists in the Archive collaboration with BBC Arts as part of the weekend.”
Marcus Prince, BFI television programmer said: “The BFI is pleased to be involved in helping to make some of its great collection of BBC Arts programmes accessible to audiences through the Art Screen festival. The BFI National Archive collection is one of the world’s largest and most important, and we are pleased to be working with Art Screen to bring some of these great treasures to the screen.”
The full festival programme will be announced on 19th March 2014 with tickets going on sale at 10am on the 28th March 2014.
More information on the programme will be announced on bbc.co.uk/artscreen and tickets can be purchased via the venue box offices.
