Bishop Edward King Chapel
Director: Nilesh Patel
Year: 2016
This film presents one art form through another; architecture through film. If architecture is the interplay of built form in light and film is the viewing of images through light, can an architectural film present images of wood, light and stone that might shape our religious and spiritual life?
A Love Supreme
Director: Nilesh Patel
Year: 2001
A tribute to the director’s Mother who has Rheumatoid Arthritis, this audio-visual essay on the preparation of samosas is a record of her skilled hands, in case they become affected. The film was inspired by the boxing sequences from 'Raging Bull' ©United Artists/MGM.
The Weavers
Director: Callum McCulloch-Nowlan
Year: 2026
Rob Beaton has been weaving tartan and tweed in the Scottish Borders since he was 14. Now 84, he is Scotland's oldest and longest-serving mill worker, operating 100-year-old traditional shuttle looms. With no apprentice to carry on his craft, the mill where he has worked for over four decades may soon be forced to close. But elsewhere in Scotland, a different story is unfolding. At another mill in Highland Perthshire, a young apprentice is learning the trade, and the ancient rhythms of the looms are being passed to a new generation. Once, Scotland's textile industry employed nearly 75% of the population. Today, that figure stands at just 0.2%. Against the backdrop of that decline, the stories of these two mills paint a portrait of an industry at a crossroads. Through his film, Callum McCulloch-Nowlan celebrates the workers, machines, and spaces of Scotland's weaving tradition, while exploring the urgency of preserving a disappearing craft.
