The 'Ga' of the title refers to the film maker's mother. The film gathers together this elderly lady's everyday actions to offer an abstract insight into her life. Margaret Tait described this film as follows: 'My mother seemed a good subject for a portrait, (she was there), and I thought it offered a chance to do a sort of 'abstract film', in the sense that it didn't have what you might call 'the grammar of film'. It's mostly discontinuous shots linked just by subject, in one case by colour, only rarely by movement'. close

Television documentary series. Fame, when it illuminates the images of people who have already left us, is often just a form of forgetting. Secondary biographical facts, everyday motifs lying on the surface often obscure the deep and always unique relationship between the creative gift and the fate of an outstanding artist. The islands are different. These films ask questions, but do not seek simple answers, enlighten or attempt to explain the unexplained. Their purpose is not to explore the past, but to be present in it. Hence the rejection of any author's comment. Documents and books, film footage, and the heroes themselves are the characters of history who, in a sense, “tell themselves.” close
