Margaret Tait, acclaimed Scottish filmmaker, poet and writer is celebrated at The Big Sheep Symposium – an event exploring her time at ‘Slowbend’ near Helmsdale which was her and Alex Pirie’s home between 1965 and 1973. The Symposium will open a discussion on four themes: The Sheep and The Land, by way of A Film, and A Poet’s Voice. It is timely to revisit Tait’s film work and ask why the start of the 60’s was a very productive period for both Tait’s writing and films.
