Blue Black Permanent

Directed by Margaret Tait

This haunting work moves between Edinburgh and Orkney as it tells of a woman’s attempts to come to terms with her mother’s death through her childhood memories. A film about islanders’ relationship with the ever-present sea, Tait’s only feature-length film, from her own screenplay, is the first Scottish feature film directed by a woman.
