Tender and thought-provoking, who will be remembered here connects queer voices across centuries of Scottish history.

Conceived by writer Lewis Hetherington and artist CJ Mahony, and created in collaboration with Forest of Black and Historic Environment Scotland, the film invites four queer writers to reimagine historic sites in their own languages: Robert Softley Gale (English), Harry Josephine Giles (Scots), Robbie MacLeòid (Gaelic) and Bea Webster (BSL). Their performances weave together a multi-layered portrait of queer presence—sometimes in resonance with the places they visited, sometimes in dissonance. The result is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of memory, absence, and belonging. Hailed by critics as “extraordinary”, the film honours those erased from history and insists that queer lives, past and present, must be seen.

This special screening will be opened by Malin Lewis, who will herald the film with a mix of traditional tunes and brand-new music on the pipes. Following the screening, there will be a panel discussion with Lewis Hetherington and Robert Softley Gale, hosted by Pitlochry Festival Theatre’s own Sam Hardie, offering further insight into the creation and meaning of the film.
