Clippy

Clippy, 2016, 16mm transferred to HD, 3 minutes Alia Syed hones a moving image poem out of the personnel reminiscences of Mr Ghulam Rasul Tahir and Mr Mohammed Ali Azad whose lived experiences of working for Glasgow bus Corporation defy our expectations. Filming with a 16 mm camera on the Dumbarton Road in Glasgow, Syed responds to a shot she found in the archives of BBC Scotland of a funeral cortege walking through the same streets in 1969. An oral lament, by Hardeep Deerhe responds to the traditional Scottish tune 'When the Battle's O'er' (played by Ross Ainslie), creates an acoustic envelope to this haunting vignette.
