Synopsis

Lucas (Adam Napier), a photographer, meets the enigmatic Cleo (Sally Scott) in a small English seaside town. They appear to be on a date. En route to a hotel, they encounter a variety of oddball characters, including a priest who has lost his faith, a travelling salesman and a Shakespeare-quoting drunk. Once at the hotel, however, the real reason for Lucas and Cleo’s meeting starts to become apparent… Shot in long takes with a fluid camera, culminating in a near-silent final half-hour, Sean Martin’s intense drama is a gripping study of two people bound together by a fatal vow.

The Scottish filmmaker Bill Douglas's reputation rests on the trilogy of films he made in the 1970s about his childhood in postwar Scotland. What many people do not know about Douglas is that he was also a passionate collector of cinema memorabilia and pre-cinema optical devices. He incorporated many of these into his last film, Comrades, which tells the story of the first trade union from the point of view of an itinerant lanternist. Lanterna Magicka recounts the story of Douglas's collection, the making of Comrades and the remarkable legacy Douglas left us with.
