December: Bridge to Nowhere (4', 2012)
Written and Directed by Kim Stewart, the screening will feature a Q&A from Kim on the night.
A satirical look at the history of two of Glasgow's unfinished bridges. One, started in the 1960s, is now suspended in mid-air over a motorway. Explaining the history of the ‘Bridge to Nowhere’ and its impact on local residents, the film concludes with a tongue-in-cheek proposal for the bridge’s regeneration.
