A Glasgow Women’s Library and Royal Conservatoire of Scotland Film
Film-maker: Marissa Keating
Artistic Director, March of Women: Anna Birch

March documents the large scale, public art event March of Women taking to the streets of Bridgeton on the eve of International Women’s Day 2015.
Through a series of interviews with a wide variety of women taking part in the performance and march, the film considers the gap in documenting women’s history, and points to the resounding importance of having a female generation to both honour and draw inspiration from. It follows the process of the plays development within a community of Scottish women from boat builders, to students, librarians and politicians, as they work together towards the final event on March 7 2015. The film gives a lingering insight into some of political and social experiences of women in Scotland today, and invites testament to the tremendous power of a collective voice, and the surprising resonance of a play written over a century ago with our contemporary society.
