No Frame is an Island
2017 | anthology | 19m | 1.78:1 | colour | english | Vimeo
On 23 June 2016 the UK voted to leave the European Union, while Scotland voted to remain.
In collaboration with Undivided, Young Filmmakers Glasgow set a challenge: react to Brexit with one shot lasting 30 seconds or less. The work of 56 filmmakers was then collected into this anthology, which screened in February 2017 accompanied by a live string quartet. It's a collaborative anthology, a documentary of emotion and a unique take on the form.
