Selected clips from the first series of the Guthan nan Eilean/Island Voices project move to a new level when they get a public outing in the Screen Machine, courtesy of the Small Islands Film Festival in Benbecula, 19th-21st June. The Craigard and Taste of Uist films are shown alongside other locally produced works. There is also an opportunity for discussion. The whole project is intended to be interactive, open to, and reflective of the local community. Another chance for people to feed in their own suggestions…

Update and suggestions so far for filming
An earlier post on my personal blog listed topics already put forward, and attracted additional suggestions. Material so far recorded covers the following:
1. Peatcutting
2. Constructing lazy beds
3. Catching razorfish
4. Grimsay boat day
5. Children’s Parliament in Barra and Benbecula
6. Boatbuilding and Crofting Skills
7. Crofting and biodiversity
8. Outdoor leisure pursuits
I’m very pleased with the interviews I’ve got so far on the topics above. Among other things there’s a very good mix of ages amongst the speakers. There’s plenty more to do, but it’s beginning to look like the new material might divide fairly naturally into three separate sub-headings under the broad “environmental” theme: “Outdoor activities”, “Generations”, and “Enterprise”. I hasten to add that’s just the way it’s looking right now. This could well change as more suggestions come in. Comments welcome below!
