This exciting exhibition and workshops run at National Library of Scotland, Edinburgh until 28th October .
Explore the story of Scottish cinema-going over the past 120 years, and find out more about the celluloid portrayal of Scotland – from the silents to the present day – through the art of the original film poster, cinema advertising, and popular film magazines.
A century of Scots and Scotland on screen will be presented through a range of fascinating film footage from the Scottish Screen Archive and elsewhere – from the earliest representation of Scottishness on screen in the ‘Execution of Mary Queen of Scots’ (1895), through the depiction of Scottish life in documentary film-making, to the current explosion of award-winning films made in Scotland and by Scots.
NLS offer a FREE Cinema in the Past interactive workshop to guide pupils through the Scotland at the Movies exhibition to find out about the earliest films shown in Scotland and how Scotland has been portrayed on the big screen.  Experiences: SOC 2-01a; SOC 2-02a; SOC 2-04a
