Alasdair Gray: A Life in Progress – documentary – 15 (Refractive cert)
Dir. Kevin Cameron – re-edit with new material
2024 – 1hr 34 mins – UK – Language: English
Alasdair Gray is one of the giants of Scottish Arts. He is the author of Lanark (hailed as the most influential Scottish novel of the second half of the 20th century), painter of one of Scotland’s biggest pieces of public art of the 21st century (the beautiful hand-painted ceiling of Oran Mor in Glasgow) and author of Poor Things, now adapted into a film starring Emma Stone. In this intimate portrait, filmed over the course of 15 years, he has allowed himself to be filmed creating work that has become part of the living heritage of Scotland.
The films of Kevin Cameron are a rare opportunity to view the artist not as the monumental figure of university tutorials or a name on the walls of famous buildings, but as a living and working artist. Cameron’s film places Gray within the context of a world in which he is renowned, but also explores the reality of his life in the city that provides his greatest inspiration.
