Eric Steel, director of San Francisco suicide documentary The Bridge focused on a rather different subject for his latest film - a rare and enigmatic Scottish woman who became a legend in the world of making flies for salmon fishing.

Megan Boyd lived in the north of Scotland in a tiny cottage with no running water or electricity, where she painstakingly made exquisite fishing flies out of silk, hide, thread and plumage from peacock, toucan and teal. Combing interviews with those who knew her best with gorgeous hand-painted animated sequences to explore the unusual habits of salmon (salmon don't feed in fresh water), the world of fly fishing and the life story of a beguiling woman - a woman who never let her success go to head. When invited to receive her OBE from the Queen, Megan politely declined, saying that she would have nobody to watch her dog! Just as well that a friend - someone called Prince Charles - agreed to deliver it to her cottage in person.

Elegant and fascinating and full of the beauties of Scotland, this delightful film will be sure to win over viewers with no interest in fishing at all - trust us!

Screening with short film Colour Poems (1974) – An artist of unique and extraordinary vision, Scottish Poet and filmmaker Margaret Tait’s Colour Poems consists of nine visual poems which are interlinked, embraced and whispered. Words and images, some of which are created whilst others are formed by chance, occur in an oniric pattern in this experimental film which portraits such concepts as innocence, the land and the swell of the sea.
