FRIDAY 10TH SEPTEMBER
FILM AND MOVING IMAGE PROGRAMME
1pm
SCHOOLS WORKSHOP: CINEMA IN THE PAST
90m
Before television and the internet, the cinema was the hub of the local community and provided news, information and entertainment for the local town or village. Film programmes would be made up of a number of different types of films providing an all-round experience of latest news, events and feature films. The children also had a special minor’s matinee programme which as well as children’s features included competitions and fancy dress parades. This interactive workshop with the Scottish Screen Archive includes screenings and activities to examine how important going to the cinema was in the past and how things have changed today.
Free, Heart of Hawick – Tower Mill
7.30pm
FILM: SCOTTISH SCREEN ARCHIVE ON TOUR
90m
The specially compiled programme of archive film delights from the Scottish Screen Archive at National Library of Scotland includes examples of early films from 1908, visual records of the First and Second World Wars, the evacuation of St Kilda, Queen Mary launching the liner named in her honour, and rare colour film of the Empire Exhibition of 1938. The event will be rounded off with a generous helping of rarely seen footage, featuring the Borders area and its industries and traditions. Guiding the audience through this evening of silent and sound films will be Ruth Washbrook, Education and Outreach Officer at the Scottish Screen Archive (National Library of Scotland) with background detail and fascinating insights into these treasured glimpses of Scottish life, as captured and preserved on film.

MOVING IMAGE INSTALLATIONS - ALL DAY EVENTS
WEAVING THE TOWER HOUSE
Fri 10 & Sat 11 September 10am-4.30pm
Sun 12 September 12 noon-3pm
Rocio Jungenfeld / UK 2010 / Installation
A site-specific installation by artist Rocio Jungenfeld, created in collaboration with Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival. This installation seeks to investigate the relationship between the landscape of the Scottish Borders and the textile tradition of Hawick. The installation will transport the visitor to an interior natural space, a soft and malleable landscape. Video projections, mirrors, wool threads and sound will create a fragile and tactile experience; this piece will transform the exhibition space into a place for the introspection of the self.
Free, Heart of Hawick – Borders Textile Towerhouse
