The Garden III: A Cinematic Gardener with an introduction by Øjets Bibliotek

“A Cinematic Gardener" is the third part of a series examining the complicated connection between landscape cultures and their contradictory status between wildness, control, guilt, and care. Come to the Danish premiere of Luke Fowler's "Being in a Place" and explore the complex convergence of film and garden cultures.

Drawing on a wealth of unseen archival material, including sound recordings, film rushes, offcuts and unpublished notebooks, Luke Fowler’s new feature film focuses on Margaret Tait, one of Scotland’s most enigmatic filmmakers. The film takes one of Tait’s unrealised scripts for Channel 4, entitled Heartlandscape: Visions of Ephemerality and Permanence, as its starting point and considers Tait's life and work grounded within the landscape of Orkney. Tait was not interested in filming the scenery but instead looked at the precise details that constitute a place, the small things that are often overlooked. Exploring the process of filmmaking itself from the perspective of a fellow artist sensitive to Tait’s understanding of film as a poetic medium, Being in a Place pays tribute to the strengths in her method, the importance of fragmented bodies of work, and the intrinsic value in failure.

Mathias Ruthner from Øjets bibliotek, a publishers collective specializing in film criticism, will introduce the film. Recently, Øjets bibliotek has published an anthology of Margaret Tait's writings, which will serve as the basis for the introduction. The focus of the introduction will revolve around Tait's garden motif in her writings and films.
