To See Ourselves | Jane McAllister | 2023
In September, Reel to Real Cinema shares To See Ourselves, a personal documentary about hope and fear during the Scottish Independence Referendum by filmmaker Jane McAllister. We will be joined after the screening by the filmmaker to discuss the making of the film, and reflect on the impact on politics and identity in the 10 years that have followed.
About The Film
To See Ourselves is an observational, deeply personal account of the 2014 Scottish independence referendum as seen through the eyes of a pregnant filmmaker, as she follows her idealist father’s relentless activism and reveals the heart behind the politics during this historic crossroads for Scotland.
Affectionate without being sentimental, To See Ourselves creates not just a valuable time capsule of a pivotal moment in Scotland’s history, but a film which encourages empathy, self-reflection and open and constructive dialogue about the future.
Full details of the theatrical tour and community outreach can be found on the film’s website: www.toseeourselves.film.
