For the latest of our Glasgow Film Festival Podcasts Ali spoke to Australian filmmaker Heather Croall about her documentary Yer Old Faither which, as the title suggests, is about her Glaswegian born Dad who took the family to settle in the industrial city of Whyalla, Australia.
A deeply personal film which will nevertheless be relatable to all, Croall uses home movies, family pictures, delightful animation, and her own footage, to tell a tale about one man’s apparently ordinary, yet quite extraordinary, life – one which impacted on the lives of a whole community in all sorts of ways.
It makes for an engrossing and often emotional watch, and the interview with director Heather proves to be a fascinating conversation about a fantastic film, one which we hope will persuade you to check it out for yourself.
Available at the festival from 6th – 9th March, you can learn more, and buy your tickets, here – Yer Old Faither.
