Event Details

Sunday 9th October 2011, 6-7.30pm.
Inspace, 1 Crichton Street, Edinburgh EH8 9AB

Join Tales of Things for a night of films from the Scottish Screen Archive with a twist. To celebrate BBC2’s Reel History of Britain programme we will be carrying out a variety of memory capturing events at the National Museum of Scotland. These memories will then be mixed live by a DJ over the archive films creating an orchestra of voices and stories at Inspace. It promises to be a unique experience and giving you the chance to feature in your own film!
