This short, picturesque film is the debut of filmmaker Adam Stafford. At night, the boring, drab green landscape near the Scottish villages of Falkirk and Grangemouth transforms into a mysterious, almost divine black and orange purgatory. Torches illuminate the discharge of the chemical factories and the smokestacks seem like a silent city. Bissett grew up in this industrial environment and talks about the accident in the factory that left his father disfigured. - See more at: https://www.idfa.nl/industry/tags/project.aspx?id=7b2d6789-f100-4829-9d9c-e36465fafd9b#sthash.DoE67IHW.dpuf
