May as well make my first post here a blatant self-promotion.

The neoliberal, commercial, American-oriented model under which Scottish film funding operates was established by Michael Forsyth in 1997, shortly before the restoration of Scotland’s Parliament. No Scottish Culture Secretary has had the nous or gumption to change things.

This blows a huge gaping hole in Screen Scotland's strategy of making Scottish film-making a service provider for Hollywood!

What is Culture Secretary Angus Robertson going to do about it? 🤔

Our great friend Trump, with whom we have a very special relationship, just announced he intends to put a 100% tariff on any and all films produced "in Foreign Lands" (sic).

At what point will Labour give up trying to sell out Britain for a lousy US trade deal, and read him the riot act?

James Jauncey calls for a film to be made about adventurer, politician and writer R.B. Cunninghame Graham. In 1987 Murray Grigor wrote a screenplay for a full-length feature, but was unable to secure funding.

1) This has been a central failing of the neoliberal model on which Scottish Screen was established by Michael Forsyth in 1997. No Culture Secretary since has had the nouse or gumption to fix it. 🙄

4) With the USA spiraling into chaotic fascism, the last thing Scottish film-making needs is to be shackled to a senescent Hollywood, its commercial imperatives, formulaic production models and lazy cultural assumptions. Yet Screen Scotland sails on, ignorant and oblivious.
