We’re thrilled that Go Short @goshort have selected ‘who will be remembered’ here as part of this year’s festival. The film will play in the Queering Time programme, beautifully curated by Edie Barnabas @ediebarnabas . Two of the film’s directors Lewis Hetherington @lewishetherington5 and CJ Mahony @cj.mahony will take part in the Q&A alongside Suus Tulen-te Braak @suus_hizzl and Selm Merel Wenselaers @selm_merel Many thanks to the Screen Scotland Markets and Festivals attendance fund @screenscots for supporting the filmmakers to attend and participate in the panel. ‘who will be remembered’ here invited four queer writers and performers to respond to Historic Scotland sites. Performed and filmed on location, their stories bring to life experiences that have been rendered invisible by the suppression of marginalised people throughout history. The film is an act of resistance against the erasure of cultures, languages and identities which has defined our past, and which threatens to define our future. Featuring writing and performance by Robert Softley Gale @robert_s_gale , Harry Josephine Giles @hjosephinegiles , Robbie MacLeòid @robbieamacleod and Bea Webster @byumblebee The film was conceived and led by Lewis Hetherington and CJ Mahony for Fieldwork Performance @fieldwork_performance , directed by Michael Sherington @michaelsherringtonfilm and produced by Forest of Black @forestofblack in collaboration with Historic Environment Scotland @histenvscot , with support from Creative Scotland @creativescots and production support from Offline @offline_glasgow More info and 🎟️ in bio.

It’s been such a thrill directing Thornton Wilder’s ‘The Long Christmas Dinner’ & ‘Pullman Car Hiawatha’ for @the_newrep playing at @centre151 thru Saturday 28 March! I just love these strange and wonderful one acts and this amazing creative team. And I would love for everyone to come out and see them. Link in bio for tickets! 📷: @mccarthykit
