When is a boat not a boat? A: When it's a story. In A Boat Retold, artist Ian Stephen, writer Robert Macfarlane and others tell stories in and around the restored Orkney boat Broad Bay, as it sets off for the Shiant Islands. The boat and its history become the narrative focus for movements in time over three generations, spinning tales of fishing, boat-building and family history - a ballad of Hebridean island traditions, experiences and arts.

Produced and directed by Samuel Hudson in 1970, this experimental documentary follows a young couple, Sue and Steve, as they prepare for their wedding ceremony. The film is sectioned into five chapters, each highlighting a different theme with abstract film techniques. Hudson utilizes pixilation, stop-motion, and animation along with wedding photographs and interviews.
