Clyde Film (1985)
Clyde Film (1985) by Ian Venart, Charlie Tracy, Ian Miller, Mandy Merrick, Alistair McCallum & Ken Currie
Running Time: 32mins 23secs
The film utilises a pictorial documentary style using music and images to tell the story of Glasgow and its people, montaging scenes shot in Glasgow with archive footage and stills. It uses traditional Glasgow and political songs to do the storytelling and sits in a lineage of films about the city which include Marzaroli’s ‘Dear Green Place’ (1968), ‘Glasgow 1980’ (1971) and the Dawn Cine Group’s ‘Let Glasgow Flourish’ (1956).
Cranhill Arts then concentrated on photography as a more accessible and democratic medium, and inspired, in part, by Marzaroli’s stills they went on to undertake the biggest photographic survey in Scotland with the project ‘Glaswegians’ by taking 29,000 photographs up to and during Glasgow City of Culture 1990.

Lived in Glasgow 1975 -81 . The Music / the fashion / the ease of life at that time
A lot has changed since I was born in the forties, and not always for the better, but I still love the old place.
Fantastic footage and beautifully put together, the songs are amazing. How lucky are we in the present time. My faither was born in 1919 and I can understand how in his later years how content he was despite how horrible these times were, however it produced a lot of the most decent people who were wise and gave so much.
A blast from the past!👍🏻
God bless the Time Machine that is KZread 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 love it 👍🏻👍🏻
This was shot in 16 mm 4x3 aspect ratio It is shown in 16x9 therefore some of the framing doesn’t seem quite right.
Glasgow was on its knees here the city is still trying to recover today with bad planning in the past
When people think of the 80s they think of neon and bright colours but I think of grey, because of films like this.
Very interesting, thanks for posting.
I loved how many tower blocks glasgow had.
I wonder of the creator had "the wall " in mind made me think of that

Shout out to the Glasgow crew 🎉
A lot of the High Rise Flats have been flattened since this was made, everything was getting knocked down then....sadly, it's a different City now. 😎

God, that was depressing.
U need to get into the hills that make Glasgow in order to be a Glaswegian. Not the fkn shipyards and shitholes.
bleak
An absolute mess of a film
