The Celestial Cinema presents Second Sight

Event information

The second Celestial Cinema is excited to be showing, Second Sight, a film by Alison McAlpine. A cinematic, non-fiction ghost story. An evocative personal tale featuring the last generation of Gaelic storytellers on Scotland’s Isle of Skye.
Alison says: "This film began very alive like a dream, images of Scotland I’ve had since I was a child and my great-grandmother’s storytelling. These images were vivid, clear, transparent: the ever changing magical light of North-West Scotland, the windy isles of mountains and moorland and utterly compelling stories. My search was for the roots of the Gaelic oral tradition I come from. My goal: to create a film that unfolds like a great story. No artifice, no themes or messages, simply moving images, sounds which surprise with their directness, their tenderness, their rediscovery of the world.
I have learned so much from the charac- ters in my film. Their extraordinary dignity and humanity radiate on screen as does their tremendous gift of storytelling."
