These films and special events have been co-programmed with a selection of friends and partners throughout the UK and includes artists film and video, fashion and new media.
Tramway is delighted to present Duncan Campbell’s first major exhibition in Scotland, Make it new John (22 January - 14 March 2010) a new film co-commissioned by Film and Video Umbrella, Chisenhale, Tramway and The Model, Sligo. Based on the life of American car engineer John Delorean, and the story of the failed car plant he set up in Northern Ireland in the 1980s, this ambitious work witnesses Campbell’s increasing maturity and confidence as a filmmaker, with particular interest in the problematic relationship of truth and fiction in the documentary realm. See www.tramway.org for full details. Coinciding with the exhibition, Tramway presents the following film programme.
A special thanks goes to Glasgow Caledonian University, our new programming partner and Tessa Hartmann, our fashion ambassador. Also www.glasgowstylemile.com come on board this year to develop a new Fashion in Film presence within our programme.
