Public House Public House

Director: Martin Clark

Year: 2026

Brave as whiskey Bold as brass A laugh like a bell And a warmth unmatched, built hearth upon hearth Your house rumbles Excerpt - 'The Public House Rumbles' by Alexandra Ewing Shot in the single location of a Glaswegian pub, PUBLIC HOUSE is a sequence of vignettes, some characters recurring and others not, just like real life. A myriad of eccentric and troubled souls pass through, looking for a drink, solace, a conversation, someone to love, an audience, sex, an explanation, revenge, or just a place to be. The film delves deeper than the sum of it’s parts, asking existential questions. How did we end up here? Why do we do what we do? Should we try something else? Ultimately the film is about committing to something. To an idea, a place, an affair, grief, a philosophy, family, a tall tale, loss, love, a joke, a friend or simply trying to make it through the day.
