'Lost In France'
needs your help
2nd February, 2016
Still Films & Edge City Films are proud to be in production of a film project called Lost in France… and we need YOU!
Lost in France is an incredible documentary that takes us from the heart of the ’90s Glasgow music scene, with the inception of Mogwai, Franz Ferdinand, Arab Strap and The Delgados, over to a small village in rural France, and back to the current topography of indie music and iconic Scottish record label Chemikal Underground. We want to do justice to the genesis that spawned so many of our favourite bands so we need your help to shape the film.
We’re looking for archive material for possible use, particularly video footage of ’90s Scottish indie, but also old photos, or ticket stubs, or set lists, or pics from gigs and parties, or from the streets of Glasgow.Maybe you have a mate who has a box in their attic? Or a friend who always seemed to be at gigs with a camera? We’d love to hear from you so please get in touch…
