Brilliant evening seeing all of these films and remembering Cathy McCormack's important contribution to housing activism in Glasgow and internationally. Loved TommyL's film Bellsmyre Caledonia - we all need to connect the dots and figure out what's going on!

Brilliant CWU + Living Rent fundraiser screening last night, in memory of Cathy McCormack. Good to see project contributor TommyL ‘s new film Bellsmyre Caledonia, a screenplay adapted from his original workers’ story in 2021.
