A great coup for The Blend, director Timothy Neat presents and talks about his 1989 film set in Barra and Venice, Play Me Something, and is joined by singer and cast member Margaret Bennett who will perform some of the songs arranged by Hamish Henderson from the film.
The line between story and reality is blurred in this arch drama. While waiting for a plane at an airport on an island in the Scottish Outer Hebrides, a group of would-be passengers are entertained by a stranger's long tale of a romance in Venice between a secretary and a singing Italian peasant, illustrated by his on-the-spot screening of his black and white film about that romance.
Running Time: 80 mins
Featuring:John Berger, Hamish Henderson, Tilda Swinton, Margaret Bennett & Liz Lochhead
