Mackintosh Film Night: Mackintosh Masterpiece and Small Faces
For one night only Mackintosh Queen's Cross presents a special double feature movie night of Mackintosh's Masterpiece: The Glasgow School of Art and Small Faces.
About Mackintosh Film Night: Mackintosh Masterpiece and Small Faces
As an aperitif to our double feature we are including a bonus short film, Norman McLaren’s Seven Till Five (1933). This brief film provides a fascinating insight into the practices and rituals that comprised an average day at ‘The Mack’, the Glasgow School of Art (GSA) building that sealed Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s reputation as one of the most innovative and creative Scots of the 20th century, establishing him as a pioneer of Modernism.
This will be followed by Mackintosh’s Masterpiece: The Glasgow School of Art by multi award-winning documentary maker Louise Lockwood. First shown on BBC Two in 2009 it tells the story behind Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s internationally acclaimed building. Contributors, including Peter Howson, David Shrigley and Muriel Gray, testify to the extraordinary impact the building had on their creative lives. This one-off documentary, narrated by Daniela Nardini, includes songs specially written by Glasgow bands Sexy Kids and Frightened Rabbit, that both emerged from the school.
To conclude our evening we have a free screening of Small Faces. This 1996 Scottish drama film directed by Gillies MacKinnon and stars Iain Robertson, Joseph McFadden, Steven Duffy, Kevin McKidd, Laura Fraser, Mark McConnochie, Clare Higgins, Garry Sweeney, Colin McCredie and Alastair Galbraith. Set in Glasgow at the tail-end of the 60s, the film is a tough but humorous tale of brotherly rivalry and gangland warfare which can proudly rank alongside the likes of Trainspotting. The film was shot on location at various districts in Glasgow, including the GSA, Darnley, Sighthill, Partick, Merrylee, Mount Florida and Bishopbriggs.
Please note tickets for students are free.
There will be a bar on the evening.
