PROGRAMMER SPOTLIGHT: Andrew Black

We’re delighted that artist and filmmaker Andrew Black is co-programming our upcoming festival of artists’ moving image MAXIMUM TILT alongside Anne-Marie Copestake.

☀️Andrew Black is an artist and filmmaker based in Scotland. His work explores the political narratives of land and place-based identity. His films combine archival material, oral history and aesthetic experimentation to present layered portraits of specific landscapes and their inhabitants.

He is currently finishing a BFI Doc Society-supported film with Daniel Hughes, and developing work with collaborators from the Scottish and Irish Gàidhealtachdan and traditional and Indigenous communities in the Tapajòs region of the Brazilian Amazon. He was shortlisted for the Jarman Award in 2023, and was the 2021 recipient of the Margaret Tait Award. His commissioned film On Clogger Lane premiered at Glasgow Film Theatre in February 2023, was exhibited at The Tetley, Leeds, and LUX, London in 2024. His work has shown at the Hunterian, Glasgow, Dundee Contemporary Arts and Centre Clark, Montreal.

Join LUX Scotland and the University of St Andrews Department of Film Studies and Centre for Screen Cultures during Midsummer 2026 for MAXIMUM TILT, a new three-day festival of artists’ moving image taking place at the Byre Theatre, St Andrews.

➡️ How did MAXIMUM TILT come about?

The format of our upcoming festival MAXIMUM TILT builds on LUX Scotland’s past artists’ moving image programme Intentional Pauses (and Unforeseen Gaps) and our recent series of gatherings as part of the 70th annual Flaherty Film Seminar that took place across Scotland in 2025.

Prioritising slowness, conversation and being together across three days, artist Andrew Black and Anne-Marie Copestake have programmed a series of screenings, discussions and group meals. The programme for MAXIMUM TILT explores land, place and belonging through a selection of films that explore collective agency over placemaking common to both rural and urban settings. Bringing together films made in Scotland and the UK in conversation with international works, the programmers intend to undermine conservative narratives of place and disrupt oversimplified and romantic ideas of the rural.

➡️LUX Scotland and the 70th Flaherty Seminar

Last Autumn LUX Scotland hosted three gatherings as part of the 70th annual Flaherty Film Seminar in partnership with The Hunterian, Cooper Gallery and the Centre for Screen Cultures. This series of discursive events expanded on the Seminar’s 70th edition ONWARD! and reflected on the Flaherty’s history and continued its collective inquiry into the form and function of non-fiction cinema.

Each of these three events began with a screening, followed by food and breakout groups where participants were encouraged to discuss the programme within a non-hierarchal structure, inspired in part by the Flaherty’s commitment to ​‘non-preconception’ which Frances Flaherty said to be ​“the beginning of discovery”.

The format of our upcoming festival MAXIMUM TILT builds on LUX Scotland’s past artists’ moving image programme Intentional Pauses (and Unforeseen Gaps) and our recent series of gatherings as part of the 70th annual Flaherty Film Seminar that took place across Scotland in 2025.

Prioritising slowness, conversation and being together across three days, artist Andrew Black and Anne-Marie Copestake have programmed a series of screenings, discussions and group meals. The programme for MAXIMUM TILT explores land, place and belonging through a selection of films that explore collective agency over placemaking common to both rural and urban settings. Bringing together films made in Scotland and the UK in conversation with international works, the programmers intend to undermine conservative narratives of place and disrupt oversimplified and romantic ideas of the rural.

➡️LUX Scotland and the 70th Flaherty Seminar

Last Autumn LUX Scotland hosted three gatherings as part of the 70th annual Flaherty Film Seminar in partnership with The Hunterian, Cooper Gallery and the Centre for Screen Cultures. This series of discursive events expanded on the Seminar’s 70th edition ONWARD! and reflected on the Flaherty’s history and continued its collective inquiry into the form and function of non-fiction cinema.

Each of these three events began with a screening, followed by food and breakout groups where participants were encouraged to discuss the programme within a non-hierarchal structure, inspired in part by the Flaherty’s commitment to ​‘non-preconception’ which Frances Flaherty said to be ​“the beginning of discovery”.

ONE WORK: Cici Peng on Wei Zhang's 'The Silver Tide'

We commissioned Cici Peng to respond to Wei Zhang​’s ​‘The Silver Tide’ (2025) as part of our ONE WORK series.

📎Read or listen to the text on our website

Set against Glasgow’s industrial backdrop, ​‘The Silver Tide’ explores the struggle of finding a voice within Chinese queer diaspora. When the constraints of a foreign language fail to capture the complexity of lived experience, a profound physical transmogrification begins.

The work weaves together the raw, nostalgic grain of Super 8 film with the fluid precision of 3D animation. Drawing on the mythology of Chiyou (蚩尤) and the intricate traditions of Miao (苗族) silverwork, the film fuses the migrant body with the heritage of Scottish craft.

By moving beyond the verbal, ​‘The Silver Tide’ constructs a tactile, sensory experience. It reframes the ​‘monstrous’ body not as a deviation, but as a generative site of dignity, power, and constant rebirth.

▶️ For our May ONE WORK we are presenting the premiere of Wei Zhang​’s new work ​‘The Silver Tide’ (2025). This online screening is accompanied by a recorded discussion between Wei Zhang and David Upton, Public Programme Manager at LUX Scotland, and a newly commissioned text responding to the work by film writer and curator, Cici Peng.

🗓️Until 31 May

What does it mean to be rendered 'natural' within the boundaries of nation-state, and at what cost? The term inplies a slow, painful process of assimilation, one that demands self-erasure while it remains impossible to fully erase the difference of one's Otherness. At the same time, to resist natualisation is to remain marked as abject, strange, or out of place."

📣Tickets now live: I Plied My Poesy — Words and Music Regarding ​“Defiling Rain” — Jamie Crewe @jamiecrewe and Band

We're delighted to release tickets for this unique live event concluding Jamie Crewe's ​‘Defiling Rain’ at Tramway, as part of Glasgow International 2026. The event will feature songs played live, sketchbooks splayed open, and patter.

🗓️Saturday 13 June, 7 – 8pm
📍Tramway T1, Glasgow
🎟️Free (ticketed)
☑️Live captions

📎 Book now on the Tramway website

'Defiling Rain' is a special two-day screening by Jamie Crewe at Tramway as part of Glasgow International 2026.

Jamie Crewe​’s ​‘Defiling Rain’ is a collection of short audio-visual vignettes which take the opinionated animals and personified weather of medieval fables and abandon them in a city struck by disaster. Each vignette is a song, with music performed by a small ensemble of musicians and a variety of vocalists, and lyrics describing fraught and fantastical scenarios. They are fables with the tails lopped off or the heads removed.

Using a diverse range of cinematic techniques including animation, puppetry, and collage, Jamie’s stories without morals are richly illustrated and screened in an endlessly randomised order. Authority has fled or been overturned, the materials of commentary and instruction are deranged, and with their remains ​‘Defiling Rain’ stages the awe, horror, and joy of disintegration.

🗓️12–13 June, 12 – 5pm
📍Tramway T1, Glasgow
🎟️Free (drop-in, unticketed)
☑️Captions

‘Defiling Rain’ was commissioned by The University of Edinburgh Art Collection and LUX Scotland, and this is the debut presentation of the work, supported by GI and Tramway.

ONE WORK: Wei Zhang in-conversation

Wei Zhang joined David Upton (LUX Scotland Public Programme Manager) to discuss their work ​‘The Silver Tide’ which is the focus of our May ONE WORK.

🗓️Until 31 May
☑️Closed Captions
☑️Transcript

📎View on the LUX Scotland website now

Wei Zhang (b. 1991, China) is a filmmaker and visual artist based in Glasgow, Scotland. Currently a PhD candidate at Kingston School of Art, Zhang engages in practice-based research exploring the intersections of the Chinese queer diaspora, bodily transmogrification, and the ​“crisis of articulation” within artists’ moving image.

Driven by the limitations of spoken language, Zhang’s work challenges logocentric structures to investigate how migrant and queer bodies interact with their sociopolitical environments. Drawing upon Oriental monster culture, queer theory, and posthumanism, their practice reframes non-normative gendered experiences. Rather than viewing these bodily transformations as deviations, Zhang approaches transmogrification as a powerful site of agency and resilience.

Utilising collage techniques, hybrid media, and experimental soundscapes, Zhang creates multi-layered narratives that bridge personal memory and collective histories. Their work has been showcased internationally at exhibitions and festivals including Glasgow International 2024, Adelaide Fringe 2025, and Bangkok Biennial 2020.

Learning Resource: Writing for artists' moving image

We recently publish edour latest Learning Resource on the subject of 'writing for artists' moving image'. We asked artists Jordan Lord, Blaise Kirschner and Corin Sworn to respond to set questions on the topic.

📎Read or listen to the resource on our website now

Our series of written learning resources, each covering a different subject, aim to demystify some of the structures of the art and film worlds that artists working with moving image navigate. We invite three contributors to answer set questions on each subject to offer our readers a range of subjective views and experiences of the topic.

Corin Sworn engages with language, material and place as transversal living concepts. Sworn stages relations between moving image, installation and experimental writing, aiming to evoke thought as sensorial, situated and in motion. Recent works have focused shifts in understanding that occur adjacent to emergent technologies with particular regard to translation and boundary conditions. Sworn won the Max Mara Award for Women Artists in 2015, a Leverhulme Prize in 2017 and is Professor of Contemporary Art at Northumbria University.

Recent exhibitions include: Gallery North, Newcastle (2025); ​‘Moving in Relation’, The Common Guild Glasgow (2023); ​‘Cumulo’, with URRA, Buenos Aires (2022); the radio play ​‘Fabric Noir’ with Jude Browning for Radiophrenia (2022); OCAT Shenzhen (2021); Edinburgh Art Festival (2019); Galeria Arsenal, Białystok (2016); Toronto Film Festival (2016); Collezione Maramotti, Reggio Emilia (2015); Whitechapel Gallery, London (2015); Langen Foundation, Neuss (2015); Sydney Biennial, Australia (2014); 55th Venice Biennale (2013); and Tate Britain (2011).

See our posters up across Dundee, Perth, Glasgow and Edinburgh for MAXIMUM TILT!

We've worked with graphic designer Maeve Redmond to develop the visual identity for our upcoming festival which uses cyanotypes to represent the festival happening over Midsummer 2026. Maeve Redmond is an independent graphic designer based in Glasgow, Scotland. She works primarily with artists, writers and cultural organisations. A huge thank you to Maeve for the series of posters and to Jack Arts for situating them in real life!

The title of our festival refers to the annual summer solstice when in the Northern hemisphere the earth's pole has its maximum tilt towards the sun, making for the longest day of sunlight. While the solstice takes place on Sunday 21 June, MAXIMUM TILT takes place on midsummer's day, the traditional celebration of summer across Europe.

Prioritising slowness, conversation and being together across three days, artists Andrew Black and Anne-Marie Copestake have programmed a series of screenings, discussions and group meals. The programme for MAXIMUM TILT explores land, place and belonging through a selection of films that explore collective agency over placemaking common to both rural and urban settings. Bringing together films made in Scotland and the UK in conversation with international works, the programmers intend to undermine conservative narratives of place and disrupt oversimplified and romantic ideas of the rural.

'Defiling Rain' is a special two-day screening by Jamie Crewe at Tramway as part of Glasgow International 2026.

Jamie Crewe​’s ​‘Defiling Rain’ is a collection of short audio-visual vignettes which take the opinionated animals and personified weather of medieval fables and abandon them in a city struck by disaster. Each vignette is a song, with music performed by a small ensemble of musicians and a variety of vocalists, and lyrics describing fraught and fantastical scenarios. They are fables with the tails lopped off or the heads removed.

Using a diverse range of cinematic techniques including animation, puppetry, and collage, Jamie’s stories without morals are richly illustrated and screened in an endlessly randomised order. Authority has fled or been overturned, the materials of commentary and instruction are deranged, and with their remains ​‘Defiling Rain’ stages the awe, horror, and joy of disintegration.

🗓️12–13 June, 12 – 5pm
📍Tramway T1, Glasgow
🎟️Free (drop-in, unticketed)
☑️Captions

‘Defiling Rain’ was commissioned by The University of Edinburgh Art Collection and LUX Scotland, and this is the debut presentation of the work, supported by Glasgow International and Tramway.

A quote from Cici Peng reads: "Composed of shifting textures, materials, and formats, moving porously between 8mm grain, 3D animation, and digital footage, the film’s malleable form is not just an aesthetic choice, but a strategy that both formally and narratively emphasises the centrifugal force of silver – its capacity to disperse across images, histories, and bodies."
