Combining archival audio footage, science fiction, cultural criticism, and reality television parody into a film, and Scottish multimedia artist Rachel Maclean's feature Make Me Up weaves a complex and at times overwhelming tapestry as a biting feminist satire. Juxtaposing bright pastel colours and costumes with dark and disturbing imagery makes for an incredibly well-detailed story of entrapment, expectation, and rebellion. Thinking she was just going in for some (unnecessary) plastic surgery, Siri (Christina Gordon) finds herself in a reality television show from hell, where she and nine other girls must compete for - well, it's never explained exactly what the winner will get. But they are forced to dress in Kawaii-style outfits of the most garish pastel colours and frills; their voices have been modified...

In Rachel Maclean’s deeply strange film, the voice of historian Kenneth Clark haunts a virtual reality world of Stepford Wives and robotic Barbie dolls
Here’s something straight out of left field: a surrealist critique and freaky satirical nightmare on the subject of feminism, female body image and social media, with something of Lewis Carroll, Terry Gilliam and maybe a little of Clio Barnard in its subversive use of lip-sync.
We are plunged into a disturbing virtual reality world, or maybe an online gaming arena full of migraine-inducing colours, where a number of women are dressed like robotic Barbie dolls or Stepford Wives, with names like Siri and Alexa, responding to commands and presided over by a deeply weird and disapprovingly haughty madame, who speaks only in dubbed phrases cut up and mashed up from, of all people, Kenneth Clark, presenter of the high-minded and unashamedly western-oriented TV classic from the 60s,...

Few topics in video game circles elicit more groans than the debate about whether games should be considered artworks. Advocates for games want to see them garner the same cultural recognition as books, films, or paintings, and use “art” as shorthand for achieving that status. But in the rush to declare “Super Mario Bros.” a great work of art, we may be skipping over the intricacies of both how artists who may or may not think of themselves as game developers are using games in their work and how less mechanical “interactions” in and around games construct a complicated cultural significance for the still young artform.
The Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago’s new exhibition, “I Was Raised on the Internet” isn’t a video game art show, and yet the concept and impact of games are all over the place. “In broad terms, this exhibition is about how the...

Iboga Nights director David Graham Scott popped into the Gft to talk about making that film and about the reality of his own experience in tackling his drug addiction through the use of the African hallucinogen. Chilean film Things The Way They Are screened at Cineworld and Mrgaret Tait Award-winning artist Rachel Maclean brought together a group of creative types in the Cca for Tae Think Again, an event focused on exploring contemporary Scottish identity.

George Sluizer talks abut working with River Phoenix on Dark Blood. Photo: Eoin Carey
Monday at the Glasgow Film Festival started off a little more quietly than the previous few days but soon picked up, with a second chance to see the celebrated 20 Feet From Stardom and an early screening of The Book Thief, which has since opened in cinemas nationwide. The evening saw the Scottish première of Dark Blood, the last film to star River Phoenix. The young actor, whom more than one Eye For Film staff member has described as their first crush, was part way through filming when he overdosed and died on the steps of Johnny Depp's Viper Room. It was assumed that he film would be abandoned but director George Sluizer somehow managed to put it together and was present at the screening to tell the audience how he did it.
