From limelight to satellite
a Scottish film book
by Eddie Dick
From Limelight to Satellite looks at the moving picture in Scotland. Written in celebration and despair, hope and searching pessimism, it draws upon the expertise of some of Scotland's foremost exponents of film. It moves from the optimistic amateurism of 1913's "Mairi, the Romance of a Highland Maiden" through the austere realism of "Children of the City" in 1944 to the stylish brutality and lingering charm of today's films.
With its incisive essays, numerous stills and a unique Scottish feature film listing, "From Limelight to Satellite" is essential reading for everyone interested in the delights and difficulties of making and understanding movies.
