Hi - just got this through and thought i'd share.... some of you might
already have got it, having signed up for the Female Authorship symposium
a couple of weeks ago - so: apologies for any cross posting.

Dear All,
I am writing to you because you attended (or expressed an interest in) the
Female Authorship symposium at GSFF13. Thank you for coming, and I hope
you found it worthwhile - I'd be very happy to receive any feedback about
the event.
However, I'm primarily writing to let you know about a special event
taking place at Glasgow Film Theatre next week to mark International
Women’s Day and the contribution of women artists in Glasgow to protest
movements:
Hell Unltd / Traces Left
Friday 8 March, 18.30, 1h 30m
Glasgow in the 1930s and 40s was a hotbed of political and cultural
ferment. One woman in particular stands out as a contributor to this
moment. Glasgow School of Art graduate Helen Biggar (1909–1953) created
one of the UK’s most influential anti-war films with Norman McLaren just
as the Spanish Civil War began. Hell Unltd (1936) is presented for the
first time with a specially commissioned live score performed by Kim Moore
(Zoey van Goey) and Gareth Griffiths.
The live performance will be preceded by a rare screening of Traces Left
(1983), a documentary about the Glasgow art and political scene in the
1930s and 40s, which focuses in particular on Helen Biggar.
This project is supported by the PRS for Music Foundation through Women
Make Music.
