Loving, 16mm ode to Scottish poet and avant-garde filmmaker Margaret Tait. Luke Fowler circles her Orkney home surrounded by red tulips and buzzing insects, visits her films’ locations and zooms in on her notebooks of ideas. We also listen to Tait’s poem Houses, about what it means to feel at home.
