Meet the Buchanans (PG) Film Screening
Friday 6 June, Fittie Community Hall, 7 New Pier Road, Aberdeen, AB11 5DR.
Doors 6.30pm event starts 7pm.
Tickets £5
An off-beat documentary about the inauguration of the first Clan Buchanan Chief in over 300 years. When it comes to holding the ceremony, and historical records can’t be found, most of it is being invented.
Historical fact and historical fiction collide as we join the Chief (millionaire Scottish landowner Mike Buchanan) his wife Lady Paula, and their teenage family, and tartan-mad enthusiasts from around the world descend on deepest Perthshire for the ceremony.
A hidden world of British wealth and privilege unfolds as the family uncover and invent fresh entitlements of the new role: revealing not only whether they can pull off this massive event, but also how history is made (up).
Meet the Buchanans takes a sideways look at raising important questions around identity, historical values and traditions, belonging, and the place of Clans in the modern world.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the film’s director and producer Barbara Orton and Professor Alison Lumsden co-director of the University of Aberdeen’s Walter Scott Research Centre.
Pay on the door or purchase tickets in advance: £5.00 plus booking fee.
